The 2019 Midwest ConQuest has come and gone and I placed 44th and went a disappointing 2-3.
In my second game, I played last year's winner, Richard Windau, and his optimized Tau list.
I embarrassed myself and deployed poorly, forgot rules/stats and may have been inadvertently snarky with him about using the chess clock. Richard wanted to use the chess clock (which was fine with me because I'm using AM) but he just asked me to remove a unit after rolling to hit but he hand't rolled to wound yet. I said that since we were on the clock, he should roll to wound before I scoop my unit. Afterword, I felt kind of shitty about it because it's a bit of gamesmanship but another tournament goer said that I was fine in asking him to do so because he asked for a clock and it is in the rules to roll to wound.
Also, every time I go to a tournament and get whooped, I want to play that army. I've never wanted a Tau army until now...
In my small group of friends that play, only one is a really a tournament level player and I only got one warm-up game with him. However, having played six more actual tournament games is a great primer for the Bug Eater 2019 in Omaha this weekend.
Midwest ConQuest was a blast and I can't wait for next year! Omaha, I'm coming for you!
