<span style="background-color: #444444; color: yellow; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">This is a 2-player Team event. Warhammer 40,000 8th edition rules. The most current rules, FAQ, an</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: #444444; color: yellow; display: inline; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">d Codex book releases up until December 31st, 2017 will be in use. All standard Codex books, Imperial Armor and Forge World list permitted.. You need to have copies of the rules, either book, hard bound or electronic copy on a fully charged device.<br /><br />**Your Team Slot will be reserved once you have pre-registered with at least 50% of the registration fee ($30). This event last year had 44 teams, we are expanding to 50...this could sell out, so book early!<br /><br />This is a team event. 1500 points per player (3000 points per team) using matched play rules.<br /><br />* Armies must be Battle forged and are limited to 1500 points each, must include an Army Warlord, and are limited to 2 detachments, AND those detachments MUST be different. One player can not field 2 of the same detachment. (for example: you can not field two Battalions, but you could field one Battalion and one Vanguard detachment, and so too could your team mate).<br /><br />* Your team may not have more than ONE (1) of any special, unique, named characters or models.<br /><br />* You and your teammate count as “ONE” army with the exception that you may not utilize each other’s transports or benefit from command re-rolls from your teammate and also benefit from other units in their army, even if they are of the same faction as yours. (7th Edition “Allies of Convenience”).<br /><br />* Players may not share Command Points or re-rolls between each other.<br /><br />*Each player will nominate a warlord for their army detachment.<br /><br />Armies do NOT have to be fully painted, however only a fully painted army is eligible for the Players Choice award. Models MUST be fully built though. Incomplete models will NOT be permitted for play. Also, all models should be WYSIWYG (What you see is What you Get). If you are uncertain of a model or are using different models to represent something, please contact the Tournament Organizers with questions and perhaps a picture of the models in question: BerksGamingTO@yahoo.com<br /><br />* Proxy Models are NOT allowed, but models do not need to be GW totally either. What that means is that you may have a custom model made up to be your warlord or a special unit, but please don’t use something blatantly wrong, like using Orks and calling them Terminators. This is especially so for the Horus Heresy armies. Please use the right models for the correct units.<br /><br />* For deployment purposes, only half of EACH player's army may be held back for Deep Strike/Teleport depoloyment. Not one entire player's army. 1/2 of each players army maximum.<br /><br />You should have at least 1 copy of the 8th edition rule book per team, all appropriate codexes, books and dice. PDF's and electronic formats (and copies of such) are permitted, but please have a FULLY charged electronic device with you if this is the case.</span><br />

This will keep the action going on all day long. Smaller prizes will be drawn during game 3 by our Tournament Staff. This will save time and we can simply announce winners based upon drawing raffle tickets for many of the smaller items we get donated to our event. We will save our biggest prizes for raffle draw at the end.<br /><br />While there may be some minor prizes available and of course trophies, this event is intended more for fun, and as a fund raiser, will rely more upon donated prize support and divided out in a format that features basket raffles (a.k.a. Chinese auction).<br /><br />The prize support will be done via Basket Raffles, but is not at all limited to war gaming or Warhammer items. In fact, any earned or purchased raffle tickets will be eligible for various other prizes that we have donated to our event. To save on time this year, players will only be able to earn bonus tickets in rounds 1 and 2. Round 3 will determine our final winners by points for additional prizes. To offset that, all players will receive bonus tickets upon registration. This will match what we used to give out in the past, and count as if everyone had won their 3rd game (in regards to the number of tickets they shall receive). Tournament, and will be available at $1 each, 6 tickets for $5, 15 tickets for $10, and 30 tickets for $20, and 85 tickets for $50 donation.<br /><br />We will also have some Fun and Special recognition awards at the event, but they are still being worked out, but will be a fun way to celebrate the battles over the course of the day.<br /><br />All monies raised from registration fees and raffle ticket sales will help cover the cost of the venue and expenses incurred in running the event.

For those who do not know the full story, As Tournament Organizer (Michael Biancone), my daughter Natalie was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in 2007 when she was just 15 months old. Thanks to the Four Diamonds Foundation, the specialist and social workers they employ as well as the money raised by the students at Penn State University, my daughter was treated and cured of her cancer. The Four Diamonds Foundation helped cover medical expenses that families insurance does not cover as well as provide many other benefits including specialists, counseling, cancer research as well as support for the families who have to contend with such tragedies.<br /><br />More information on the Four Diamonds Foundation and the Penn State Dance marathon can be found here at : </span><a data-lynx-mode="async" href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thon.org%2F&h=ATOp-XQ-Nb9j8HjGRVNL7m17TYhL8M_OtjnZiISp5o1vC7bPvmrY0l9WLc7BDiX6MFwVuMrmJm87q2Omponw9cN2-A0Djb1qg5QBZzP3xG86h97yQzIGu-XFm4xYb20nwMztgIrOep-mWoIxMpwbWXJe-sz8Wyw_ZXfARR9CXZBXJI8" rel="nofollow noopener" style="color: #365899; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: #444444; color: yellow;">www.thon.org</span></a><br /><span style="background-color: #444444; color: yellow;"><br />For information about my daughter Natalie Biancone and her battle and victory against cancer, you are welcome to visit her website and read up on her journal: </span><a data-lynx-mode="async" href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.caringbridge.org%2Fvisit%2Fnatalieb1&h=ATOixECngHnp8kUrLeQrVT4o0GNZyq7QXzaTGr71d_EmUwu3hgqblnumigtIYdfJIGR7r2K3NlCy4_tKig8aJ1gsBJJcA4uKdNuXJ4PLjFMRXxM4ZankjlsPv8YDhbNIabRTVxpzpPnnykkvQIq6YTsptORd0qHgrTa0i29sP0phSa0" rel="nofollow noopener" style="color: #365899; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: #444444; color: yellow; font-family: inherit;">www.caringbridge.org/</span><wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block; font-family: inherit;"></span><span style="background-color: #444444; color: yellow;">visit/natalieb1</span></a><br /><span style="background-color: #444444; color: yellow;"><br />SPONSORS FOR BERKS WINTER BLAST 2018:<br />1 1up Collectibles<br />The Vault<br />Owl Central Games<br />KR Multi-case<br />Kromlech<br />Secret Weapon Miniatures<br />Modelbahn Otts, hobby shop<br />AA comics, Lebanon PA<br />Hooked On Comics, Myerstown, PA<br />* Portable Warfare<br />***Geeky Jerseys (pending)<br />* Fear This Kustoms <br />* Laser Terrain company</span></span><br />

This money contributed with Penn State Berks benefiting THON and helped the commonwealth campus place 3rd in money raised compared with all the other commonwealth campuses of Penn State. As a whole, this year THON raied over $10 million for the Four Diamonds Fund!<br />

This brings us into Spring events for the club. As players continue to have fun with Warhammer 40K and Star Wars X-wing still being our most popular games, others are delving into more Role Playing Games, and other table top games such as Infinity, Bolt Action, and Flames of War.<br />

On March 18th, a Saturday, the Berks club will be hosting a birthday <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/1427569903981539/" target="_blank">Apocalypse Bash</a> for Ethan Biancone, son of the club President (Michael Biancone...and the author of this blog). Ethan requested to host a battle similar to the Fall of Cadia as presented in the book of the same name. We have some older donated terrain that should be suitable for a Cadian Gate. We are planning a Themed battle with forces allied with the Imperium defending against Abbadon the Despoiler and his Black Crusade. Ethan will take the mantle of General Ursar Creed of Cadia. <br />

<br />
Details are available on our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/1427569903981539/" target="_blank">facebook</a> page. Players attending are asked to contribute $5 towards some fun prizes and also to play armies tied in with the theme, and also, if possible, have their armies painted, or at least something on them so they are not base, bald grey.<br />
<br />
Of course, April 22nd brings our 8th Annual Berks Spring Assault! We are very excited to host this event once again. Due to a change in date and venue, we are only able to host the Warhammer 40K events this year. Our original date had to be moved due to Free Comic Book Day, which affected some of our staff members and sponsors. The new date forced us to abandon the original venue of the 4H-community center we used last year, but we are able to go back to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=johnny%20%26%20hons%20smokehaus" target="_blank">Jonny & Hon's Smokehaus</a> in Robesonia! <br />
<br />
This venue was excellent for Winter Blast, and since we feature our events with catered food, their food is fantastic. Our vegan players loved their options and of course, having a cash bar on hand with great staff made for a wonderful time. <br />
<br />
Like all of our main Berks Events, this event is tied in to a fund raiser again. We are supporting the Lymphoma Research Foundation (LRF), as we have had many of our friends in the gaming field face Lymphoma cancer. Some have survived, and some we have lost, and in their honor, we continue to support the LRF in hopes of a cure and while the battle rages on, we support our Cancer Warriors as best as we can. <br />

<br />
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/730399060449493/" target="_blank">Berks Spring Assault 8</a> will feature two simultaneous tournaments this year for Warhammer 40K. The first is the BSA-Classic, a 1000-point tournament with restrictions. This year we are having some fun with a modified highlander format that will allow you to use 2 sources to build your army. <br />
<br />
For those looking for something bigger, we offer the BSA-Unleashed: 2500 points of pure 7th edition fun. In this format, nothing is taboo. All armies, codexes, Imperial Armor, Forge World, Horus Heresy,.....bring it all. <br />
<br />
Both events have a fee of $35 this year ($5 cheaper from last year due to a less expensive venue). This includes lunch and dinner and of course the opportunity to win any of thousands of dollars of raffle prizes that we feature at our events. <br />
<br />
Space is limited to 72 total players on the venue. <br />

<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: #444444; color: yellow; display: inline; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /><br />Players will each field a 1000 point army list following the standard rules for 7th edition of Warhammer 40,000. Lists may be Battleforged or Unbound. There will be minimal restrictions in place for this event. All current army codex books and published lists in effect up to Date of December 21, 2016. This also includes Imperial Armor, Forge World and Horus Heresy books.<br /><br />* Players are required to have at least 1 rulebook per team as well as all necessary Codex books and army supplements. These can be photocopies, PDFs, and electronic versions, but must all be accessible for opponents to view.<br /><br />* GW has released the new FAQ & Erratta as Official. As such, the new rules will be in effect for this event!<br /><br />* Players need to have dice, templates and 5 copies of their army list. Hard copies needed to hand to your opponents! Army lists MUST be emailed in to the Tournament Organizers by January 15th for review and approval. Email army lists to: BerksGamingTO@yahoo.com<br /><br />* Each individual army will be limited to a maximum of 3-factions (including allied detachments)<br /><br />* One Super-heavy Lord of War, Single Gargantuan Creature, or Primarch per 2-player Team.<br /><br />* One fortification allowed per player. Exception: Fortifications with the “Mighty Bulwark” special rule are limited to 1 per 2-player team.<br /><br />* If you field a 30K-Horus Heresy era army, your entire 1000 point list must be from that series/format. (No mixing of 30K and 40K in the same list. However a team could consist of one 30K army and one 40K army).<br /><br />* The 2 player’s armies of a team will count as Allies of Convenience. No sharing of powers/benefits.<br /><br />* There are no restrictions on what armies may team with another. And yes, you can also team up with an identical Codex if you wish. It is possible to go Ork/Ork in this event.<br /><br />* During the Psychic Phase, players will roll off 1D6 only for their combined team. Total dice will then be determined by the dice roll and the combined total of all psyker levels from all units from both teammate’s armies.<br /><br />* All games will be played on a 4’x6’ table.<br /><br />* Players will play 3 full games of Warhammer 40K by the current 7th edition rules. * GW has released the new FAQ & Erratta as Official. As such, the new rules will be in effect for this event!<br /><br />* Missions will feature winter style effects and themes. Some missions and rules may be “non-standard” from regular play, and are intended to create a fun and themed format.<br /><br />* Armies do not have to be fully painted, but models MUST be fully assembled. Incomplete models will not be permitted. Models should also be WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get). However, we will be understanding if you glued something specific to a vehicle or some large model. But nothing using an Ork as a Terminator, or a plasma pistol as a Lascannon.<br /><br />* Customized models and armies are encouraged. If you are unsure how a certain model may be perceived or want to use something special for a “counts as” model, just contact us at BerksGamingTO@yahoo.com and we will do our best to get back to you with an answer.<br /><br />***Detachment options from DEATH FROM THE SKIES will be allowed but we will continue to be using rules for flyers in the standard 40k rulebook, so new special rules such as break turns and air superiority will not be in effect. The flyer combat role rules will only be used to determine special bonuses granted by attack patterns. All flyers will be able to chose to skyfire or fire normally regardless of their combat role. This is done to try to minimize any discrepancies between the two rule sets with each other as not everyone has access to this book yet.<br /><br />Death From the skies attack patterns, wing leaders, formations and the air superiority detachments will be allowed.<br /><br />Dog fighting will be allowed only if both teams agree to the dog fight, and if both teams have access to the dogfighting rules. Dog fighting cannot be forced and is being included only to add extra fun to the game if both sides agree<br />-------<br /><br /><br />* Players will receive bonus tickets for their raffles for signing up. We will allow you to earn additional tickets during games 1 and 2. After game 2, we will stop ticket sales. Players will get bonus tickets in the beginning as if they had won game 3. We are then going to pull the raffle tickets during Game 3, with the exception of special prizes (most valued $100 or more will be drawn live). This will allow us to cut out a major time snag for us and get the event moving smoother.<br /><br />* Tickets will be available $1 each, six for $5, 15 for $10, 30 for $20, and 85 tickets for $50. These are strictly optional, no one is required to purchase any additional tickets, but the additional proceeds supports our charity.<br /><br />The Four Diamonds Fund: is a charity developed in conjunction with Penn State Hershey Medical Center by the Millard family, who lost their son to Cancer 40+ years ago. The Fund has grown and is supported by students at Penn State University, who hold an amazing 46-hour no sitting, no sleeping dance marathon in February each year, celebrating all of their fund raising efforts for the year, called: THON.<br /><br />My own daughter, Natalie Biancone, became our benefactor for this foundations support back in 2007 when she was only 16 months old and diagnosed with A.L.L. Leukemia. Natalie spent 2 ½ years battling her cancer, and with the help of THON, the Four Diamonds Foundation, the medical staff at Hershey Hospital and the caring and support of the students at Penn State Berks Campus, Natalie not only survived, but thrived and kicked cancer’s butt. Natalie is now looking at being 7-years cancer free as of December 19th. She is 10 years old now and in 5th grade, and just recently made Honor Roll at Conrad Weiser Middle School. This is huge for Natalie, because for years she was in IEP’s for extra learning because she missed a big part of her key developmental years (18 months to 3 ½ years old) with her battle with Cancer. Natalie is involved in Cheerleading, Girl Scouts and loves horseback riding.<br />Now that Natalie is healthy, there are many others who need our help. So in one of our ways to give back to this amazing organization, we pulled our friends together and came up with the idea of the Winter Blast tournament. Your dollars will help with not just Cancer Research, but will directly help families deal with the financial burden that comes with a child fighting cancer. The Four Diamonds Fund helps cover medical expenses, provides direct support to families at the hospital as well as counseling, therapy, and various specialists for both the children patients as well as their families. It truly is an amazing organization, and we proudly volunteer our time speaking on their behalf several times a year.<br /><br />Berks Four Diamonds Winter Blast is a fun winter-themed event designed to bring together those who enjoy our hobby of Warhammer 40,000 and celebrate our fun in support of an amazing charity that is very near and dear to us. As a tournament Organizer, I, Michael Biancone, strive to work with my partner Darryl Hartman in coming up with ideas and formats that are both challenging yet fun and entertaining for our gaming community as a whole. This hobby has changed so much in the most recent years, and we are trying our best to keep up with those changes, but still try to keep this event as a friendly event. Please keep that in mind when building your army lists, as those lists that may be too competitive could possibly cost you a few points when it comes to overall sportsmanship. This is a charity event. There are no big prizes to win. All the prizes are done by Basket Raffles. You can only win a $5 trophy. It is means that much to you to win that little trophy, than build your big bad army list and go for it.<br /><br /> </span><br />

Players will also have chances to earn more tickets during the first 2 games of the event. In an effort to conserve time, all players will receive bonus tickets instead of earning tickets for game 3. This will allow tournament staff to pull raffle drawings during game 3 while players are finishing up their games, and save us a bunch of time.

This year we continue with two options for the Warhammer 40,000 players with our 1000 point BSA-Classic format played on 4x4 boards, and our 2500 point BSA-Unleashed for those who want to play with larger toys.<br />
<br />
Also this year we have added Star Wars X-Wing from Fantasy Flight Games and some of our club members will also be hosting an Infinity campaign as well. So read up and check out the rules for the game you want to play. Lunch is included in price of admission and of course we feature many raffle prizes so that everyone has a chance to go home with something nice.<br />

<br />
Here we go! The Berks-PA Gaming Club presents to you our 7th time of running Berks Spring Assault! As our gaming community grows, so too do our event. This year we have been working hard to give our fellow gamers a great experience for a large one-day event by giving our guest three different options to enjoy themselves this year!<br />
<br />
Like all of our major events, BSA7 will offer a variety of raffle prizes available in addition to the main prizes associated with each event. These are simply additional awards so that even the newest gamer, with the worst record still has a chance to leave with something nice. Also, this event will be catered and lunch will be provided in with the cost of your ticket. So if you have any dietary concerns, please notify the Tournament Organizers so that we can accommodate you as needed.<br />

<br />
<u><b>1000 BSA Classic Format: </b></u><br />
<br />
Highlander format: Only 1 of each codex entry may be taken when building an army. You will engage in 4 games of Warhammer 40K, with a 2-hour time limit per game. You are required to have 6 copies of your army list. One for you, one for judges, and one to hand out to each of your 4 opponents. Players are expected to have rule books, codex, dice, tape measure and templates needed to play, as well as models. Models do NOT have to be painted, but must be fully constructed and need to be WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get). You have a space marine with a missle launcher? Good use one, do not substitute an ork with a rocket for it.<br />
<br />
MANDITORY! Highlander Detachment using the Berks 40k detachment sheet (other formats and programs are fine for reference but this is the only format acceptable for list submission)<br />
<br />
<u>Army Construction:</u> 1 faction only. All units have a 250 point maximum cap. Note that dedicated transports count as separate units from the unit they belong to. You are only permitted to use up to 1 Forge World/Imperial Armor model or unit. No Horus Heresy rules allowed. <br />
<br />
No duplicate units permitted. Highlander means “There can only be one”. That means dedicated transports, troops, and such, you are only permitted ONE of each unit type. Squadrons may fit as many vehicles as they can into the 250 point cap, but you only get 1 squadron.<br />
<br />
0-1 HQ<br />
1+ troops. (0+ troops for Inquisition and Harlequin armies)<br />
0-3 Elite<br />
0-3 Fast Attack<br />
0-3 Heavy Support<br />
0-1 Fortification<br />
<br />
• 0-1 Forge World models: These would count towards your normal unit allotment. You are permitted only 1 unit from Forge World/Imperial Armor books. <br />
<br />
• Demonic Summoning must also follow this format: of only 1 of each unit and no summoned unit may be worth more than 250 points. (if you have 1 on the board you cannot summon another and must summon something different)<br />
<br />
• Invisibility (Telepathy psychic discipline): Works as following: Opposing models are considered to be BS:1 and WS:1 when targeting units shielded by Invisibility. They can be targeted by blast templates.<br />
<br />
• There will be NO forced crashing of flying units. If a flyer is unable to move a full 18” due to something like a stunned effect (Velocity Locked) result, and that movement would put them over another unit or into impassable terrain, the flyer will simply be moved the minimal distance required to position the model appropriately.<br />
<br />
* ASTRA MILITARUM & Miltarum Tempestus: An Infantry Platoon taken as a troop choice would have to stay to the bare minimum of units: i.e: Infantry Command, 2 squads of guardsmen (no more), and you could still take a heavy weapons team and one special weapons team.<br />
<br />
****For armies with very few selections, such as Militarum Tempestus, you must fill ALL other available slots. Once you have done that, then, can you duplicate a troop unit, and only troops units can be duplicated once all elite, fast and heavy support options are filled. A good example of this is Militarum Tempestus, who only have a Lord commissar or command squad as HQ choice, Taurox Prime as dedicated transport (can only take 1), Valkarie as fast attack, and Tempest Scions as the only troop choice. So after all of those slots are taken, a second Scion and third Scion squad may be taken to fill up the 1000 points.<br />
<br />
**Void Shield Generator: Creates a 12" bubble. ONLY models within the 12 inches get the protection. Models not inside the 12" Void Shield Zone are NOT protected.<br />

<br />
Battle forged and Unbound Legal. Bring it all. Warhammer 40K, formations, Stronghold assault, Forge World, Imperial Armour, Horus Heresy, its all legal in this format.

<u><b>GOLDEN GROT PAINTING COMPETITION:</b></u><br />
<br />
Once again we present the Golden Grot painting competition. Every year we like players to feature their hard work at model building and painting. We ask that players only submit models that they themselves have actually painted, and not something that they purchased or hired someone to paint for them.<br />
<br />
We have 3 categories for artists to compete in. We ask that they set their models up in a display area for everyone to view. We have a panel of judges on our staff who have been selected to do the voting. Top winners will earn a special prize to be determined. We also ask that players who have won in the past, submit new entries and not something they entered last year.<br />
<br />
The categories are: Individual models. Squad/vehicle/large creature/squadron. And the last category is Large Model/Super heavy models/dioramasSteel Thunder Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06274130621137660842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5475708829143735731.post-12655247628443460342015-04-08T10:10:00.003-07:002015-04-08T20:06:33.862-07:00Berks Spring Assault 6!

At the heart of the event is our BSA-Classic 1000 point event. This is a Warhammer 40K tournament geared more for the casual gamer. Newer players and veterans alike will appreciate the limited format that tones down game play, refraining from more of the stronger, heavier units. It is also an excellent format for someone testing out a new army collection they are putting together.</div>

A limited force organization chart as well as point caps on unit values keep armies smaller and more like an elite strike force. Missions are tweaked with our own club flavor that permits fun and can challenge one to think slightly differently than the regular book missions. </div>

In addition to the 1000 point classic event, we are also hosting our 2500 points BSA-Unleashed event, that opens things up to the full range of 7th edition Warhammer 40K. The only real restriction here is that armies must be "Battleforged", but other than that, all Warhammer 40,000 rules are permitted, including Forge World, Imperial Armour, Stronghold Assault, as well as Horus Heresy books and Legion rules. No points restrictions, other than 2500 points for your army. Players will have 3 hours to play each game.</div>

For example, in Imperial Armour Volume I, second edition, a Tauros squadron may be taken as a Fast Attack Choice in an Astra Militarum army. You are permitted to use forge world units and army lists, but still must adhere to the CAD listed below. Vanguard Seige Army lists will NOT be permitted in the Classic Event.</div>

For those who do not know the full story, As Tournament Organizer (Michael Biancone), my daughter Natalie was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in 2007 when she was just 15 months old. Thanks to the Four Diamonds Foundation, the specialist and social workers they employ as well as the money raised by the students at Penn State University, my daughter was treated and cured of her cancer. The Four Diamonds Foundation helped cover medical expenses that families insurance does not cover as well as provide many other benefits including specialists, counseling, cancer research as well as support for the families who have to contend with such tragedies. </span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="background-color: #444444; color: #f3f3f3;"><br />
This is just an overview, as the official rules packets will be posted soon. Please Read over ALL of the rules and understand that there are 2 separate tournaments.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #444444; color: #f3f3f3;"><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.399999618530273px; line-height: 14.336000442504883px;" />

The 4-game, 1000-point Warhammer 40,000 tournament with a modified rules for Forge Organization Chart. These games feature close in fighting on 4' x 4' tables in 1 hour and 45-min</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.399999618530273px; line-height: 14.336000442504883px;">ute rounds. The rules for this will be addressed in just a minute. This will permit all GW Codex books except the Imperial Knights. Imperial Armour and Horus Hersey lists are NOT permitted.<br /><br />However, for the first time, we will be expanding to run a second tournament simultaneously in conjunction with the Classic. We give you you: BERKS SPRING ASSAULT - UNLEASHED! This will be a 3-game, 2500 point Warhammer 40,000 tournament played on a 4' x 8' table. These games will be 2 1/2 hours long and will permit Expanded rules such as Escalation, Stronghold Assault and more. Details on this will be forthcoming. Have at it! This is the Berks new version of "Hard Boyz" event. Enjoy it!<br /><br />Cost for either event will be $45 Pre-Registered by June 7th. After the deadline, payment will be $55 and also at the door. Doors will open by 8:30am and we hope to have first dice and kick off both events at 10:00am. As with most Berks Gaming Club events, we will feature a variety of raffle prizes and players will be able to win and purchase additional raffle tickets. We will also feature separate prizes in the form of gift certificates to our sponsors for the top 3 winners and best sportsman in each event.<br /><br /><b><i>Berks Spring Assault-Classic 1000-point tournament is limited to 50 players<br />Berks Spring Assault-Unleashed 2500 is limited to 30 players.</i></b><br /><br />You may pre-register via Pay Pal at my email (Michael Biancone), at BianconeGlobal@comcast.net<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span> You may also do so in person at Berks Club events and in store, but those transactions are CASH ONLY. Do NOT make and credit card transactions at the store for pre-registration (or you will have to pay additional fees).<br /><br />We pride ourselves on keeping our events fun and mostly drama-free. So choose the style of event you want to play in: Light, Fun and Hobby-based, or Big-Bad and Battle ridden. We want to cater to our fan base's styles of play. Sportsmanship above all else is paramount at Berks events. Please keep that in mind. We will not tolerate bad attitudes at our events, you will be asked to leave without a refund.<br /><br />Models for both events do NOT need to be painted, but we do have a painting score that does factor into your final score. Models DO need to be WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get), and proxying will not be permitted. Models also do not need to be GW models, but should be a good and close representation of what they are supposed to be. If you are unsure, please contact the Tournament Organizers with your questions. Total scoring will be explained more in our rules packet, but will include Battle Points, Sportsmanship, Painting score, and players choice (bonus sportsmanship).<br /><br />With your entry fee you will receive some swag from our sponsors and also will have lunch catered on site.

Good lord..... computer problems and forgetfulness and delays and procrastination. <br />
<br />
However, the results from Berks Spring Assault 4! are here, available at this link: <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6XIW9Am9lYqbW9rbUNlYlp4aDg/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank">BSA4 Results</a>.<br />
<br />
We had an incredible event, 74 players, over 20 sponsors, and with staff, guests, spectators, well over 100 people. As with all Berks Events, Sportsmanship was a key element, and of course energy levels were high as expected.<br />
<br />
We finished 4 games of Warhammer 40K at 1000 points with a modified force-organization chart. Our intent at Tournament Organizers was to provide a controlled environment that would be both friendly to newer players as well as challenging enough to veteran gamers. <br />
<br />
The Berks-PA Gaming Club is also known for our raffle prizes and we had those continue through our event, even giving away 2 variants of Warhound style Titans, (one chaos, and one Imperial). Our sponsors were amazingly generous and we can't thank them enough. Lee from <a href="http://www.1upcollectibles.com/" target="_blank">1-Up Collectibles</a> in West Reading was of course our main supporter. He was also on hand to vend and sell items as was Tony Spino from the Gaming Garage LLC, who runs the <a href="http://www.themechanicon.com/1/" target="_blank">Mechanicon Grand Tournament</a> series along with <a href="http://www.thewarstore.com/" target="_blank">The Warstore</a>. We had some of our own swag as well as support from <a href="http://www.miniaturemarket.com/" target="_blank">Miniature Market</a> who provided every attendee with a pluck-foam tray for miniature storage. We also had new sponsors this year, like <a href="http://www.greenleafterrain.com/" target="_blank">Green Leaf Terrain</a>, who donated an amazing set of war game terrain and also created a set for our club to purchase for use in future events.<br />

<br />
We are growing and this is 2 years in a row now that we have had over 100 people attend Berks Spring Assault. We are looking to grow and expand to a new venue that will allow even more room and space as well as continue to offer us a great atmosphere for us to continue to run our events. We will also be looking to expand our event to add additional events and possibly partnering up with another organization since we have been having much success with helping charities out with fund raising. More details on this to come.<br />

<b>Berks Spring Assault 4! </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Wow! Here we are nearly 1 week away from April 13, 2013, for the largest, most fun Warhammer 40K event in the area! Berks Spring Assault 4! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Our goal this year was to try and duplicate last year's success while trying to minimize the mistakes with lessons learned from running these types of events. <a href="http://berks-pa-gamingclub.blogspot.com/2012/05/berks-spring-assault-3-results.html" target="_blank">BSA3</a> saw 77 players show up with over $3000 in total prizes and raffles to give away. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This year we have more swag, more prizes, and are hoping to pull in more players in what we like to advertise as a "Warhammer 40K Party" with a tournament thrown into the mix. Sure there is competition and prizes and trophies. But our biggest reasons for success is that we are a club about sportsmanship and fun and fair play. We do not run this event to make a profit. In fact, any money left over is recycled back into our club to build terrain, tables and such so we can continue to fund events of this scale and nature.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtLlTdLIKOYYb7XMhzz4lJpRSiw6LmsFeuyi3_VyFwKpyHw5BCD2Q6P_S4gNfTECMox8haIy9k3OQhBF8USAgzuTuFi4z2qfch-vR_WseDF8rsx0JTXnr61e3An2NzwpIFr0WrdcjqIoB7/s1600/bsa007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtLlTdLIKOYYb7XMhzz4lJpRSiw6LmsFeuyi3_VyFwKpyHw5BCD2Q6P_S4gNfTECMox8haIy9k3OQhBF8USAgzuTuFi4z2qfch-vR_WseDF8rsx0JTXnr61e3An2NzwpIFr0WrdcjqIoB7/s1600/bsa007.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As it is, we have this event that has come about as our club trying to run a mini-Grand Tournament in 1 day. So we cut the points in half to 1000 points. We run 4 games, 90 minutes each with breaks. We have the event catered for lunch. All of this is wrapped up into the price of admission. We are charging $50 at the door and there is a $10 discount for pre-registration by April 8th, 2013 at midnight. In addition to lunch being catered, one of our sponsors, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Jebbie-Cakes/207298685081" target="_blank">Jebbie Cakes</a>, is also making us a cake and we will have ice cream served with it between games 3 and 4.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Our event has constantly drawn people from afar. Great players and sportsmen like groups from <a href="http://snakeyesgaming.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Snake Eyes Gaming</a> club in Pittsburgh, PA and the <a href="http://beltway-gamers.com/" target="_blank">Beltway Gamers</a> down near Washington DC in Maryland, veteran gamers from<a href="http://pagegaming.com/" target="_blank"> P.A.G.E.,</a> and new friends such as the crew coming in from <a href="http://www.sggamesandhobbies.com/" target="_blank">Stomping Grounds</a> in Warminster, PA. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
They all come for the fun, the food, the games, and the prizes....the Raffle Prizes! Our biggest feature by far is our basket-raffles. Players and staff may purchase tickets on site for raffle prizes, $1 each or six for $5, or 15 for $10, 35 for $20. The players may then place the tickets into the basket or bag labeled for the appropriate prizes. We will draw some early during the game 3 break, but the rest will be drawn as our judges tally up the final scores.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We also feature a main prize table for the top winners, and we recognize 1st, 2nd, 3rd (and 4th) best overall. We have our top 3 for Best Sportsmanship and top 3 winners for Appearance, as voted by your peers. We also feature prizes for the Best Youngblood overall (14 and under) and Best Youngblood Sportsman. for appearance we host our "Armies on Parade". During the lunch break, players are asked to display their armies. We will put a cup by each army and each player will be given 3 tickets to cast their votes and place these in the cups of the armies they like the best. The top 3 will win our appearance awards. For those looking for the rules, here is an additional link: <a href="https://drive.google.com/?usp=chrome_app#recent" target="_blank">Berks Spring Assault 4 Rules Packet</a>.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Yet one more feature we have at Berks Spring Assault is the Golden Grot painting competition. This year for our Players only, we have 3 categories: Single 40K model, Squad/vehicle/creature, and Open category. We will have a panel of judges vote on the models from our staff. This is totally separate from our regular tournament and gives those who are into the hobby more a chance to showcase their skills.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Again this year we have invited our friends from <a href="http://www.dp9.com/" target="_blank">Dream Pod 9</a> to perform demonstrations of Heavy Gear, a game that many of us in the Berks Gaming Club have gotten into.

We are very excited this year for everything that has come to be. We picked up some new sponsors and retained many of our original sponsors. Our local gaming store, <a href="http://www.1upcollectibles.com/" target="_blank">1-Up Collectibles</a> has outdone themselves again and delivered an impressive lot of prizes as well as assisting our club in purchasing some more prizes to fill out our "wish list". We will feature 2 of every flyer model in the Warhammer 40K line from GW. One will be on the main prize table and the other for raffles. We also have 2 Titans to offer and an Ork Stompa ( the Stompa is also courtesy of 1-Up Collectibles). Another one of our supporters this year is <a href="http://www.greenleafterrain.com/" target="_blank">Green Leaf Terrain</a>, who made some amazing stuff for us and posted a video of his handiwork. To clarify on his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ARurPH9RQs" target="_blank">video</a>, the items that our club paid for will be staying on as club-owned property to help fill out our terrain. We also have blue-back foam miniature trays donated from <a href="http://www.miniaturemarket.com/" target="_blank">Miniature Market</a>, a huge online market place who generously donated over 100 trays for us to have as swag to hand out to all of our guests. Of course other continued sponsors such as the War Store.com and <a href="http://www.linglestownpaintball.com/" target="_blank">Linglestown Paintball</a>, <a href="http://www.hazeknight.com/" target="_blank">Haze Knight.com</a>, and the <a href="http://www.theadventurersguild.com/" target="_blank">Adventurer's Guild</a> have also continued to pledge their support and we are thankful for each and every one of them.</div>

Well, we had closed out our first of what will become an Annual event for Berks, the Four Diamonds Winter Blast, a team-tournament of Warhammer 40,000 with the intention to raise money to help fight Pediatric Cancer.<br />
<br />
Check out the great coverage and in-depth battle report on <a href="http://turn-8.com/" target="_blank">Turn-8 Podcast</a>, Episode 30!<br />
<br />
This cause is near and dear to the hearts of many folks in our club and in fact as the author of this article, my own daughter Natalie, was diagnosed with Leukemia at the tender age of 15 months old, back in 2007. Thanks to Hershey Medical Center in Hershey Pennsylvania, the Four Diamonds Foundation, and THON...the Penn State Dance Marathon, they came to our aid as a family. They managed to help my daughter beat cancer, provided financial support and covered all medical costs outside of insurance, and other financial support. They also provided social workers, counselors, specialists for the children, and other help that one would not normally think of.<br />

<br />
The local students of Penn State Berks Campus also adopted our family into their fold and invested their time into ours, interacting with both of my children and helping our family in many ways. This tournament was a chance for us to give back to those who helped not just us, but so many others.<br />
<br />
So with all of that out of the way..... What the heck happened? Well, we pooled our resources and used the Multi-Purpose Room at Penn State Berks and threw a Warhammer 40K Team-Tournment and raised money for THON! (<a href="http://www.thon.org/">www.thon.org</a>). <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhva4kH_FApwKyVYv8oLFsy6uEVPwChGNL0VwQHdGEOiv9goRs-oobLvVOBQxoKtpUK44wlefQW6n0xTf5gRdtzWWiou3V95yHjQRDf4YW8JlfrUKzXznoVBXl-dKpml8jK2rRcUu-hnSvT/s1600/4d002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhva4kH_FApwKyVYv8oLFsy6uEVPwChGNL0VwQHdGEOiv9goRs-oobLvVOBQxoKtpUK44wlefQW6n0xTf5gRdtzWWiou3V95yHjQRDf4YW8JlfrUKzXznoVBXl-dKpml8jK2rRcUu-hnSvT/s320/4d002.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
We had room for 10 tables, so we set up to have up to 40 players. We ended up with that...as we had 19 teams and fielded our own "ringer" team for the event. We played 3 rounds, each team consisted of 1000 points per player with a modified force organization chart. <br />
<br />
We did something very different this time around as well. First of all, each mission was fun, and had a winter theme to it. There was some quirk about each mission that was tied in with winter, snow or storms. We also had no main prize table. Instead each player on each team won raffle tickets. Each prize we had donated or purchased was put up for a basket-style raffle. Players could purchase more tickets between games, but would win 20 tickets per player for a win, 10 for a loss, and 5 tickets each in a loss.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6e-K9ZfXdzttjsmmYPZhMCl-g2uu1NrKbZwm_jKT20maLhrye2xYlmjYB8y50MjFPVyxm5OMm0q2ZkvLBsg9FCqjzhbHJKLcqOwo-Ovq1mj8XjGPUEQAGpT4loyTc7JoWjYK2lcwgq_xT/s1600/4d005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6e-K9ZfXdzttjsmmYPZhMCl-g2uu1NrKbZwm_jKT20maLhrye2xYlmjYB8y50MjFPVyxm5OMm0q2ZkvLBsg9FCqjzhbHJKLcqOwo-Ovq1mj8XjGPUEQAGpT4loyTc7JoWjYK2lcwgq_xT/s320/4d005.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
So, with every prize as a raffle, we had a modified force organization chart, some fun twists to missions, the pressure in winning everything at the tournament was lessened a great deal. Players were able to focus on fun and not about high competition. We had food catered at the event, cake, and just a great time overall.<br />
<br />
Players got to play 3 games, against other teams. We also allowed and encouraged challenges...so one team could issue a challenge and it was up to the other team to accept it or not. This happened at least ten times during the event. <br />

<br />
When it was all said and done, some of our key prizes, like the Horus Heresy Book 1 (Betrayal) from Forge World, and a Contemptor pattern dreadnought, and a full box set of Dark Vengeance for warhammer 40K were available.<br />
<br />
It was a wonderful time. For me it was my 12th ever tournament/event that I hosted. It was wonderful. Everyone asked us to make this an annual event...so I think that we will. The students at Penn State Berks were thrilled because we set out a goal to hit $1000 and we did....we raised a grand total of $1008.00 for THON! FTK For The Kids! FTK! For The Kids!<br />
<br />
Final results were determined by Battle Points first, and then by sportsmanship as a tie breaker. If we needed to, then we would have gone to head-to-head record if available. But it was not needed.<br />

<strong><u>I wanted to share this email I got from Bill Wagner from Turn-8 Podcast</u></strong>. <br />
"<em>Mike I wanted to tell you that I absolutely loved the point limit thing. I really feel that it made the games fun and forced a little balance. Would love to see more of that for next time.<br /><br />The time you spent explaining each mission was also sweet. At no time did I feel confused or have a WTF are we doing moment. Keep that up.<br /><br />Breaking the drawing's into 2 was a good idea. It kept things moving. Also get more contempter dreds for me to win. ;)<br /><br />Thanks again for the great time and I'll see you at spring assault. With my super secret project #2</em>. :D "<br />
<br />
Now.....we plan for our next BIG event....Berks Spring Assault 4!.....April 13, 2013.<br />

Berks Gaming Club members attempt to hone their skills as we all make our way with this learning curve of 6th Edition rules for Warhammer 40,000.<br />
<br />
Our friends who run the <a href="http://www.themechanicon.com/1/" target="_blank">Mechanicon Grand Tournament</a> have joined forces with <a href="http://www.thewarstore.com/" target="_blank">The Warstore.com</a> to combine into one weekend of events and activities. Even the Berks Gaming club is hosting 3 separate Warhammer 40K Kill-Team Mini-tournaments that weekend. <a href="http://thewarstoreweekend.com/" target="_blank">The Warstore Weekend</a>.<br />

<br />
Some of our club members are going for the main feature: The Mechanicon Grand Tournament. This is a "throw back" style Warhammer 40K Grand Tournament that features ALL aspects of the hobby. This is the 4th year for the Mechanicon run by Tony Spino and the crew from the Gaming Garage L.L.C. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9I-bPlBoe7WVslZmx0AebZ-6jvBfpjSsQxQIvQzJaiDr86Yt_5aN59d10Bvt6vPtrm_273gD7KME9jksbn2ps_wglD5ldOlAPPVR9BLqS2DCDYNGafpg0lfME96uKatBmPaDDM17YHZJN/s1600/382985_3023321706613_1842951757_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" nea="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9I-bPlBoe7WVslZmx0AebZ-6jvBfpjSsQxQIvQzJaiDr86Yt_5aN59d10Bvt6vPtrm_273gD7KME9jksbn2ps_wglD5ldOlAPPVR9BLqS2DCDYNGafpg0lfME96uKatBmPaDDM17YHZJN/s320/382985_3023321706613_1842951757_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
These guys sure put on a great show. The event itself lends to a more relaxed yet competetive atmosphere with gamers who apprecaite all aspects of the hobby. It isn't all just about winning and losing, but includes Sportsmanship and fair-play, painting and appearance and the modeling aspect of the hobby. For true game-enthusiasts, this is THE event to be at. <br />
<br />
For those of us who attended the GT last year and plan to again, we appreciate having fun, yet competetive armies that are fully painted and look well. Nothing is more satisfying than playing a fun and solid game against someone else who apprecaites the hobby as much as you do. Fully painted armies, nicely made battlefields with lots of wonderful quality terrain to play over, this IS why some of us got involved in this hobby.<br />
<br />
The atmosphere is also laid back and friendly. We have built up friendships with many gamers from all over the USA at events such as this. Berks players are always looking to make our impressions on and off the battlefield and last year, two of us took Best Sportsman and 2nd Best Sportsman in the Grand Tournament. <br />

<br />
There are also many other events to look into for the weekend that are included with your weekend pass, such as the Warhammer <a href="http://www.thewarstoreweekend.com/playerpackets/kill-team-rules.pdf" target="_blank">40K Kill Team events</a>, Battlefleet Gothic, Heavy Gear by <a href="http://www.dp9.com/" target="_blank">Dream Pod 9</a>, Flames of War, Warhammer Fantasy Battles, Warmachine and much more.<br />
<br />
With the growth of Heavy Gear in the Berks club, some of our members plan on attending and playing in the Heavy Gear tournaments as well, run by the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/234069082964/" target="_blank">Mid-Atlantic Pod-Squad</a>, who always put on fun events.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
If you're looking for something to do the weekend of October 26-28th, we strongly recommend attending the Mechanicon Grand Tournament. Even if you can not play in the 2-day main event, there are plenty of 1-day events to take advantage of, meet fellow gamers and of course, the <a href="http://www.thewarstore.com/" target="_blank">Warstore</a> will have products available for purchase.<br />

Summer Camp-aigns!</h2>
Summer time is here and we bring in a new edition of Warhammer 40K along with that. To get thigns started off in our Gaming Club we have decided to launch a new Narrative Campagin with the help of Eric Bates, (Known around our club as "Apothecary"), as well as helping 2 locations launch small escalation leagues to help folks take baby steps into the new rules of 6th edition of Warhammer 40,000.<br />
<br />
Of course there are many more activities happening this summer around our club. Some of our club members have been getting more and more involved in Heavy Gear by <a href="http://www.dp9.com/" target="_blank">Dream Pod 9</a>. This is a very fun game that to me seems like a nice blend between Warhammerm 40K and Battletech.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggHrz7ujVX1zmIHgtvAt_H5gsdZA3gfwIKAvByJzZMrPKC_9b8o6hWK-LxAe6FSxkI7QRnHx4-I2WNCyfKfctDPp1I6syH40Jk1twT3Q9gBwBm3lLwYkEnrfFZ0zOHOk6vyqZMZXDsKQQh/s1600/40k001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" sca="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggHrz7ujVX1zmIHgtvAt_H5gsdZA3gfwIKAvByJzZMrPKC_9b8o6hWK-LxAe6FSxkI7QRnHx4-I2WNCyfKfctDPp1I6syH40Jk1twT3Q9gBwBm3lLwYkEnrfFZ0zOHOk6vyqZMZXDsKQQh/s320/40k001.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
There are also more folks in the Berks Club delving into Warhammer Fantasy Battles, and we've had some folks recently log in more games with their fantasy armies. All in all, it looks to be a very fun summer.<br />
<br />
Locally in the Berks area we have been fortunate to pick up 2 more locations to play games publically. The franchise union with 1-Up Colletibles in West Reading, franchising with Humungo Comics in Pottstown has now created 2 linked store locations both with growing terrain and space to play. Expect to see some smaller in-house tournaments and special events held at either location.<br />
<br />
Currently both locations feature a "Paint Night" on Tuesdays from 5pm-close and Open Gaming pretty much any day of the week.<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
So, what is happening with the Campaign and Escalation Leagues? We have links on both our facebook page as well as follow up information on the Northeast Gamers Hub, but we can review it all right now and here.</div>

Ground Zero: Apothecary's view of Berks Spring Assault 3!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<em>The following post is from "Apothecary" our club's own real-life paramedic, Eric Bates, who called forth a Black Crusade going into Berks Spring Assault 3!, leading his Chaos Space Marines. His call was heeded as Chaos Marines were the most prevalent army represented this year.</em></div>
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<em>Apothecary (Eric) is a veteran gamer and Elite club member of the Berks-Pa Gaming Club. He plays Chaos Space Marines (The Heartbreakers) of a Slaanesh bent, Salamander Space Marines, and Blood Angels. He is responsible for getting me (Club president Mike B) into the hobby and his son also plays 40K with us with a growing Necron Army.</em></div>

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<em>Apothecary has played now in a variety of local tournaments and is truly a fun sportsman to play against. Win, lose or draw, it is hard to not have a good time playing against or with him no matter if you are at a Grand Tournament, local hobby shop, or at home in his game room slinging dice.</em></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Just to touch bases with my fellow club members and gamers, I was ground zero and thought it would be good to hear from the war front. </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Gaming at BSA3 was an experience. This being my third time on the floor and tossing dice I want to point out the highlights and then the critiques. </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Highlights this was the most spacious tournament that I have ever played in. In most tournaments your bumping into people during the entire game. I do not recall any incident of running into someone for space. </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
My games were all well played and I did not face any gamer that I would not play again. This was from (facing players from) multiple clubs and I did not play against any one army of same codex in each of my games. </div>
<br />
As for the scoring, I thought that each of the scoring systems was well done, though some people did not play the scenario and had trouble understanding that it is not capture and control or annihilation games. (The missions were non-standard)<br />

The catered lunch was good, all you could eat sandwiches and salads. for me this is lunch fare. if I am jumping up and down and yelling and screaming, I do not want heavy lunch food or there would be fresh terrain added to the tables. <br />
<br />
The Golden Grot Painting Competition was fun and listened to people you hear a mix of what art is. A few folks did not like the pimped rides with pinup art and prefer the basic Heavy metal painter look. to each their own. there was a lot of artistic impressions on those tables. I was happy to take third with the open.<br />
<br />
I at least felt like I am moving into the artist ranks. <br />

Finally prize support there were thousands of dollars given away from raffle and top prize for people playing with little plastic men. There were a few that were overwhelmed when they won not one but 2 prizes. (ok I did not win anything, but got fead and blew up Bob Evers Land raider. My day was complete. )<br />
<br />
<u>A few future critiques to touch base: </u><br />
<br />
Lateness and timing: there was a lot of down time were we could have almost played an additional game in between scoring and pairing. Mike was aware of this and I am sure we can get this better organized for the future<br />
<br />
A wonky scenario with a troop swap (Mission 3). Even trades would make sense but some people were able to take heavy weapons and apothecaries from troop selections. One guy got a grey knight termie apothecary, a value close to 100pts for a 6 pt eldar warrior. <br />
<br />

Model swaps would have to be more closely regulated if similar scenerios are used in future events. I was fortunate in that I lost a power weapon for a melta gun sgt salamander in squad of CSM slaanesh troops. (they promptly run off the board from a land raider crusader's shooting the next player turn. Yes that's 7 inches and yes they failed on a 12 on their leadership check and 11 on fallback. And no they are not fearless.) <br />
<br />
<br />
These were my only problems in the 12 hour day. After that there were beautiful models and some really well converted armies. <br />

In closing, this was a great event went off with little difficulty. Players had a blast. There were no major squables and most people ended the night laughing and having good time. I ended up middle of the pack with great scores for sportsmenship and just above average painting score. i did turn out 0-2-2 on the day (not very good).<br />
<br />
I can not wait for next year and ready to start touring east coast to promote next event bsa4. <br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Well we pulled it off, sorta. The Largest Warhammer 40K tournament to hit this area ever, perhaps even the region. We had 77 players show up for our local club's 1-day event! 77 Players!!!! All having fun in one location! It was crazy, it was fun, and it was a logistical nightmare, but we had fun despite all of that.</div>

Berks Spring Assault has been growing as an annual 1000-point format with the idea of keeping the event friendly and fun for newer players, yet challenging enough for veterans to also participate. Addmittedly we as a club are "Noobs" at running tournaments, and this is only the 3rd time we ran an event of a large size, but the first time ever with something of this magnitude.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
As a club we had a few mistakes and situations we could address, and we are working dilligently with other experienced Tournament Organizers who participated in this event. Their input has been very valuable and very positive. So, despite some logistical setbacks and time delays, we still had a very great turn out and a wonderful time.<br />

We had 22 sponsors for this event. They donated a variety of prize support for us, from <a href="http://www.krmulticase.com/" target="_blank">KR Multi-Case</a> with miniature cases, to <a href="http://www.secretweaponminiatures.com/" target="_blank">Secret Weapon Miniatures</a> with custom resin bases for handouts to put into our swag bags for pre-registered players along with our custom-made Berks Dice from Chessex. Our local game store and supplier, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/Army%20Domination%20Awards:" target="_blank">1-Up Collectibles</a> was very supportive in prize support and really helped us out a lot as well as providing space in their 2 stores for local players to meet and play games at. </div>

We held the event at the Riveredge, a nice banquet hall center located just North of Reading, PA near the Municipal Airport. The room we had was very large and had ample space for all of our tables. Lunch was included and was a NY deli style buffet. One of our club members is also a baker for Jebbie Cakes and had made us a full sized sheet cake for the event. That provided a nice snack and much-needed sugar rush between games 3 and 4. <br />

All in all we had 77 players show up to play 4 games of Warhammer 40K. Our ref's rotated around as our "ringer" army with Brian Zhu of Brave New Worlds taking the Tournament Organizer's son Ethan under his wing for the last round, game 4. We had a variety of armies, with all 16 codex books being represented. The missions were non-standard, and while some seemed fun in play-test, perhaps one or two were not quite so balanced ona larger format. But we are learning and will make the proper adjustments for our next event.<br />

In addtion to our normal awards, we had 20 special bonus one-time-only achievements for fun with a box of tokens and 40K-styled stickers for the winners to select from. We also had over 40 raffle prizes for a basket-style auction and that was a huge hit with everyone. </div>

So, despite the crazy turn of events we had, 77 people is a lot to handle. To think BSA1 had 38 players, BSA2 had 50, and now we hit 77!!!! Our club is getting busy on fixing the issues we had so that BSA4 in 2013 will be an even better event than this one!</div>

<em>We are planning on being able to host 70 players, but can expand to more if needed. Based upon last year's attendance, that could happen.</em></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">We here are Berks-PA Gaming Club will be hosting our third round of Berks Spring Assault. Each year this event grows and becomes even more of a fun party than the previous year.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sportsmanship will be key to scoring this year, as much as last year. Details will be posted once we finalize all tournament information. One thing we pride ourselves on, especially with this tournamaent is having FUN! Sportsmanship is a MAJOR part of overall scoring.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://s1081.photobucket.com/albums/j347/MBiancone/?action=view&current=June40K053.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="300px" src="http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j347/MBiancone/June40K053.jpg" width="400px" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Armies do NOT need to be painted, but having painted armies will help as Appearance will be minor part of overall scoring. Appearance will be scored by tournament judges on a very simple scale.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">1,000 point Warhammer 40K armies from all Standard Codecies. Currently, IMPERIAL ARMOR AND CHAPTER APPROVED LISTS ARE NOT PERMITTED (Please see below)<br />
We want you to come and have fun and enjoy yourself. This is the perfect environment for new players as well as veterans trying out new lists or new armies. If you are not sure of a list or have a special request, pitch it to us, and we may approve if if it is theme and fluff based and not so much a power-gamer list. <br />
***DUE TO THE LOGISTICAL DIFFICULTIES IN SUPPORTING IMPERIAL ARMOR AND CHAPTER APPROVED UNITS, THEY WILL NOT BE ALLOWED AT bERKS SPRING ASSAULT. ONLY THE FOLLOWING (and current versions) CODEX BOOKS WILL BE ALLOWED:<br />
* Black Templars<br />
* Blood Angels<br />
* Chaos Daemons<br />
* Chaos Space Marines<br />
* Dark Angels<br />
* Dark Eldar<br />
* Eldar<br />

* Sisters of Battle (*White Dwarf Version)<br />
* Space Marines<br />
* Space Wolves<br />
* Tau Empire<br />
* Tyranids<br />
***If you want to use special models or custom "counts as" models, please have them WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get), and make sure that they are clearly able to be distinguished amongst other models. If you are not sure, contact the tournament organizer and submit a picture so we can approve or disallow your model.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">ALL Games will be played on 4' x 4' tables, so expect a lot of bloody action! This is Berks Spring ASSAULT!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">You will need Six (6) copies of your army list: 1 for the Tournament Ogranizer, 1 for you , and 1 copy for each of your opponents. If your list is not legal, you will lose points, be asked to leave, or have your scores adjusted as we see fit.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">You will need a copy of the 40K rule book, your codex, all dice and templates and rules associated with your army. If you do not have these we will make sure that some are available for purchase from one of our vendors.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">We will play 2 rounds, break for lunch and play 2 more games.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Lunch will be included with your entry fee. If you have special dietary needs or are a vegan, please contact us directly so that we can make special arrangements. Catering will be done on site.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">We will have 13 prizes available: Best overall, (1, 2, 3, 4), Best Sportsman (1, 2, 3), Best Appearance (1, 2, 3). Best Youngblood (under 16), Best Youngblood Sportsman, and a special award: Player's Choice for best overall army and theme.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">We will also recognize Army Domination by best in each codex with a minor prize from one of our sponsors. This will be by codex, not by lumping all space marines into one category. You paid for a seperate codex, so we feel that you should be rewarded by codex.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
We will do our best to operate on a tight schedule this year. Last year's event went pretty smoothly, and with more space we are hoping for better transition of movement.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">There is a Quality Inn attatched to the Banquet Facility and we are right down the road from the Reading Municipal Airport, and there is a Holiday Inn Express there for those travelling from out of town.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">We are going to have around or over 20 sponsors this year and are dilligently working on more swag to hand out to our participants this year. Almost all of our sponsors from last year have returned and are offering even better support as our event continues to grow.<br />

<br />
<strong><u>FORCE ORGANIZATION CHART will be modified as follows:</u></strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;">* 1-2 HQ (up to 3 for space wolves)</div><div style="text-align: justify;">* 2-6Troops</div><div style="text-align: justify;">* 0-2 Elites</div><div style="text-align: justify;">* 0-2 Fast Attack</div><div style="text-align: justify;">* 0-2 Heavy Support</div><div style="text-align: justify;">----------------------------------------------------------------</div><div style="text-align: justify;">We will again be hosting our Annual Golden Grot Painting competition. Categories will be listed officially soon but we are looking at: Individual Model, Squad, Vehicle/large creature, and Open Category (anything goes). Winner in each category will receive a small trophy and prize. Models do NOT have to be Warahmmer 40K, but can be from any game system. This is just a chance for you to show off your hobby. The only limitation is that they can not be in your current army list, because they will be on display until round 3.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">* Another category this year will be BEST CLUB TABLE. We are inviting all of the participating gaming clubs to assist in supporting the event by 'sponsoring' some tables. To sponsor a table, all your club needs to do is agree to bring terrain to cover 2-4 tables. Show off your club's goods, put up club banners and flags, participate in the event. By helping out, we can fill 35 tables with everyone chipping in a little bit. Some clubs did this last year and it was a great help. This year we will offer a prize to the best presented table by attending clubs.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">We will also be having our Basket-Raffles, as that was a big hit last year. Raffle tickets will be available for a variety of prizes donated from our sponsors as well as club members. Last year some of the bigger prizes were a Baneblade tank, and a 1000 points of Grey Knights, and an Imperial Guard Battleforce. Look for similar fun prizes this year</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">More details to come, so check back on this page often.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><u><em><strong>Schedule of Events for Berks Spring Assault 3:</strong></em></u></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><ul><li><div style="text-align: justify;">9:00am Registration till 9:45am.</div></li>

We here at the Berks-PA Gaming Club have been continuing to expand our network of friends and keeping relations good between other gaming clubs. Sure, other clubs can be different, run events differently, and also host different formats for tournaments. I have to say that our members really enjoy the diversity offered by other events and we enjoy meeting new players and broaden our horizions by meeting with other clubs and playing games against them.<br />
<br />
As these hobbies are social ones, especially Warhammer 40K, what better way to make new friends than to play in a fun event with some like minded companions and share in our hobby even more. So, the first one of these events took place in August when 3 of us from Berks rolled into Willow Grove PA and played 3 of their members, including one of the personalities of Turn-8 Podcast. Our own Myke Moll drew up a scenerio along with Dave Setzmen (Brave New World's club president) and hosted us in a 3 vs 3 mega-battle. Each player had 1500 points with a standard force organization chart. It was a fun time and our team really played well as a team. Units were allowed to share transports and such things, so we split our units up and pulled some fun tricks on everyone. Our advantage was that it seemed to us that BNW players were fighting 3 separate battles instead of cooperating as well as we did. <br />
<br />
All in all it was a good time and we left as victors, but made some new friends, which is what this was all about. We had such a good time we agreed to do it six months later. So now we roll into December 3, 2011. Our local store was inbetween locations due to lease issues so we had to comprimise and I hosted the event at my home. I was able to set up a 4' x 12' city scape that our own Angel Crespo expertly designed for us. When we first played BNW we did this on a 4' x 8' and it was a little tight. So we expanded to 4' x 10', but I had 2' extra if we needed it, so we just used that for placing models this time around.<br />
<br />
I opted to not play in the event and work more as a Game Master and Referee. We also had 3 additional 4'x6' tables set up in my "Man Cave" for additional players to come and get in more 1vs1 games with other Berks club members. <br />
<a href="http://s313.photobucket.com/albums/ll397/SteelThunder_bucket/?action=view&current=bnw004.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="400px" src="http://i313.photobucket.com/albums/ll397/SteelThunder_bucket/bnw004.jpg" width="300px" /></a><br />
Our local team consisted of our club Vice President, Darryl Hartman Jr running Dark Angels Deathwing terminators, John Tinney with his Imperial Guard, and Billy Schollkopf with his Space Marines (Void Grizzlies). They teamed up in a Cities of Death style fight against the combined forces of Dave Setzman's Hive Fleet Naga (Tyranids), with Chris Opdyke's (Opy on Turn-8 podcast) Eldar and Kevin's Space Marines. These guys were looking to avenge their club's name after the beating we gave them back in August, all in good fun. <br />
<br />
The scenerio I created featured a full city scape, 2 rivers counting as dangerous terrain but offering a 5' cover save for being submerged. 2 intact impasable terrain buildings (one was a 9 story sky scraper). All the rest were ruins. You could shoot the ruins and make them Dangerous ruins, and if hit again, they could collapse and become rubble as per the Cities of Death rule book. Each team also received 3 tank trap strategems, 3 obstacle strategems, and 1 random strategem per player. The random strategems were drawn from a bucket, and the fun part was that no two players drew the same one.<br />
<a href="http://s313.photobucket.com/albums/ll397/SteelThunder_bucket/?action=view&current=bnw007.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="400px" src="http://i313.photobucket.com/albums/ll397/SteelThunder_bucket/bnw007.jpg" width="300px" /></a><br />
To cap things off, each player would also draw a random personal mission. These were personal objectives to be completed in the process of the game and would earn each team additional points. <br />
<br />
Scoring was going to be relatively simple. There were 5 main objectives pre-set on the table and they were pretty evenly spaced around the table. Each objective could be scored by having the most Victory Points worth of units with a Weapon Skill in 3 inches of an objective. Each objective was worth 1000 points. Personal objectives were worth 500 bonus points each, and than we would score also by straight victory points, so with 3 armies at 1500 points, that was another 4500 points. Total for a perfect score would be 11,000.<br />

No one achieved their personal objectives. Some came close, but no one sought to try it out. Once we all got together I made sure to have everyone read through the "rules packet" with me, to clearly explain the rules and objectives of the mission. We had very few challenges with any of that since we all went over it together asked questions and got clear answers on all of that. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">Brave New Worlds players won the roll off and selected their side of the table. We kept it to a simple Pitched Battle deployment, 12 inches in from each long table edge. Berks players than set up their forces. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">The first thing to take note of was that the BNW Space Marine player set up a Devestator squad with 4 missle launchers and they made use of the Ammunition Store strategem. This allowed them to reroll their attacks. This was huge because the Dark Angels terminators were bunched up in tight groups in buildings, and even though they had 2+ armor saves, they took a LOT of fire during the game. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><a href="http://s313.photobucket.com/albums/ll397/SteelThunder_bucket/?action=view&current=bnw008.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="400px" src="http://i313.photobucket.com/albums/ll397/SteelThunder_bucket/bnw008.jpg" width="300px" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">Combined attacks of Eldar War Walkers, 2 Night Spinners, Pathfinders and anything else the BNW team had that could shoot targeted the 28-man Dark Angels army all game long. Both the Tyranid player and Dark Angel players set up in the center of the battlerfield and in the center of all of the boards, the middle of the 10' stretch was an objective. Terminators don't like moving after being hit by Night Spinners, not wanting to take the dangerous terrain tests. (***Take Note Eldar Players, this is a good trick that would work against those pesky Grey Knights!).</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><a href="http://s313.photobucket.com/albums/ll397/SteelThunder_bucket/?action=view&current=bnw009.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="300px" src="http://i313.photobucket.com/albums/ll397/SteelThunder_bucket/bnw009.jpg" width="400px" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">BNW dropped an Iron Clad dreadnought deep on the Berks team's right side. Berks had a chance to hit it with a Land Raider Crusader, missing with the multimelta, but rending with the Assault Cannon and did score a penetrating hit on it, but failed to stop the machine. The dreadnought would go on a rampage and wreck the Land Raider and cause some mayhem for the Imperial Guard on that side of the board.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">When the genestealers outflanked on the right, the Imperial guard met them with lots of fire. Flamers took out like 18 of a 20 man unit along with supporting fire. However, despite multiple attempts to finish off a lone gene stealer and a Brood lord, they kept making their armor and cover saves and eventually got to the IG commander and cut them down. All I can say for the IG player is that for a long time he had some extremely bad dice rolls, and even law of averages should have seen some success come his way.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><a href="http://s313.photobucket.com/albums/ll397/SteelThunder_bucket/?action=view&current=bnw011.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="400px" src="http://i313.photobucket.com/albums/ll397/SteelThunder_bucket/bnw011.jpg" width="300px" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">The Berks space marine player on the far left of the board had his hands full with Eldar and marine units, and actually took out some Eldar units until eventually he too became overwhelmed. At least he had units left on the board by the end of the game.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">There was a huge clash in the middle that came down eventualy to a Death Star unit of a Tyranid Swarmlord and tyrant guards as well as an Eldar Farseer or Autarch with a Librarian. They also had a Biovore there and a venomthrope. The funny thing here was that the Guard player had a unit he affectionately referred to as "Three Blind Mice"...which was made up of 3 ratling snipers. The funny thing here is that for 30 points, these "blind mice" put the final blows on many units including a Tyrant Guard, a Trygon, and the Venomthrope. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><a href="http://s313.photobucket.com/albums/ll397/SteelThunder_bucket/?action=view&current=bnw010.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="400px" src="http://i313.photobucket.com/albums/ll397/SteelThunder_bucket/bnw010.jpg" width="300px" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">The epic fight came as Belial took on the Swarmlord and when it came down to it he and his unit failed to put it down with their thunderhammers. They in turn were stuck in combat and before the Swarmlord could take out Belial and claim the Tyranid Personal Objective, the eldar player struck him down, not realizing that he robbed his companion of bonus victory points.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><a href="http://s313.photobucket.com/albums/ll397/SteelThunder_bucket/?action=view&current=bnw012.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="640px" src="http://i313.photobucket.com/albums/ll397/SteelThunder_bucket/bnw012.jpg" width="480px" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">In the end it was a total routing of the Berks armies by Brave New Wolrds. Brave New Worlds held 4 objectives and Berks had Zero. No one completed their personal objectives, but the final victory points told the final tally: BNW scored around 4000 Victory points, leaving Berks will less than 500 points total in units on the board. Berks scored about 2400, leaving BNW with half of their total armies on the table. the total score was like 6400 to 500, a total Massacre by my standards.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">Brave New Worlds did well and as was the original plan, had a good time. One of their other players, Nick, a Chaos Space Marines player took on one of our own with a similar army, both dedicated to Khorne, the blood god. They had a blast duking it out and bonding over a fun game.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">And that is really what all this was about. Getting players together from two other clubs, creating a scenerio and letting everyone have a fair shot at seeing what happens. Its games like this, not timed, not stressed, just fun and over food and drink that make the hobby what it is. As much as I and many others enjoy giong to and competing in tournaments, it is hard to really get a chance to bond with someone when you are playing in a timed or scheduled event. You have to do that between rounds, when you can sit down and grab a bite to eat together. But in this environment, we got to do just that. Some players from both clubs came along to support their club teams and spectate the game and just enjoy the overall atmosphere of the event. We look forward to doing this again with these guys in another 6 months and also setting up similar events with other gaming clubs.</span></div>Steel Thunder Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06274130621137660842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5475708829143735731.post-73430127587938380192011-10-21T10:25:00.000-07:002011-10-21T10:25:12.311-07:00Fall Brings Us More Events!<a href="http://s313.photobucket.com/albums/ll397/SteelThunder_bucket/?action=view&current=P9183726.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="300px" src="http://i313.photobucket.com/albums/ll397/SteelThunder_bucket/P9183726.jpg" width="400px" /></a><br />

Well, Summer has passed us on as we move into Fall and the school season. But a gamer's dice never rest too long. There are plenty of events happening around the area. <br />
<br />
Big news for Berks is that our club will be hosting three sessions of a Warhammer 40K Kill Team mini-tournament held over the weekend of November 5 & 6 at the Mechanicon GT. These are separate events run in addition to the main Warhammer 40K Grand Tournament and other games. Saturday night there will be a late-night round starting at 9:00pm to allow players that are competing in the GT to participate as well.<br />
<br />
With the Mechanicon GT on the horizon, many Berks club members are preparing for the event. Our featured event coming up to help those players prepare is the Road to Mechanicon tournament. This is an 1850 point Warhammer 40K tournament. 3 games played usinug the 2009 Mechanicon rules and missions. Scoring will be very similar to the GT style of points.<br />
<br />
The entry fee is $20, and while the armies playing do not have to be completely painted, there is an exception if you want to win first place. The top honor prize is a ticket to compete in the Mechanicon GT vauled at $125. Only a fully painted and based army will be eligible to win the ticket because only painted armies are allowed to compete in a Grand Tournament.<br />
<br />
There will also be prizes for 2nd and 3rd place overall, best sportsman and best appearance. The vaule of those prizes will be determined by attendance of the event.<br />

Folks at <a href="http://www.the-last-level.com/">The Last Level</a> are offering to host a Painting & Modeling competition to coincide with the West Reading annual Arts Festival (Art on the Ave).<br />
<br />
<em><strong>Entries can be submitted in one of four categories:</strong></em><br />
<u>Best Single Model: </u>any standard, non-vehicle, army component. Winner based on Model Construction and Paint Quality.<br />
<br />
<u>Best Transport:</u> any vehicle based model. Sub-category option for large-scale beasts (Giant Tyranids/Balrogs/etc...) Winner based on Model Construction and Paint Quality.<br />
<br />
<u>Best Terrain Piece:</u> custom terrain of any sort. Winner based on Model Construction, Paint Quality, and originality of design. Winning piece will become property of the The Last Level for open gaming use. (this is a play off of an idea we were talking about for the club, obviously they liked this idea).<br />
<br />
<u>Best Custom Model:</u> any piece (character or transport) customized by more than just paint color. Winner based on Model Construction, Paint Quality, Originality of Design, and Overall Coolness .<br />
<br />
Best of 3 Judging will take place at 3pm: The Last Level staff will combine their votes into one vote, the 2 other judges are yet to be determined, but will most likely be artists participating in the Art on the Ave event taking place on Penn Ave. <br />
<br />
Prizes will be awarded to the top winner in each category, as well as a Special Prize for Best Artist in Show. <br />
<br />
Art on the Ave will be all day long, so come early, hang out, enjoy the event, paint and display your models (tables will be available for display along Penn and 6th Avenues).Steel Thunder Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06274130621137660842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5475708829143735731.post-23647040083808247312011-05-18T09:53:00.000-07:002011-05-25T13:10:47.294-07:00Berks Spring Assault II - Prize Winners<div style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Golden Grot Painting Competition:</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;">1st Place: Leslie McCormack of Berks-PA Gaming Club, with her awesome Tyranid Harradin conversion</div><div style="text-align: center;">2nd Place: Andy Miller of Brave New Worlds with his Blood Angels Storm Raven</div><div style="text-align: center;">3rd Place: Eric Bates of Berks-PA Gaming Club with: Blood Angels Storm Raven</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Warhammer 40,0000 tournament: 1000 points. 4 rounds of Warhammer 40K, Lunch included.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">$30 entry fee, $25 if pre-registered. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Berks-PA Gaming Club Elite members get an additional $5 discount with club member card shown.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">We here are Berks-PA Gaming Club will be hosting our second round of Berks Spring Assault. Last year was an amazing success, despite some issues on planning, as we were new to hosting tournaments. We have a bigger location, better support and lots of fun being planned this year. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sportsmanship will be key to scoring this year, as much as last year. Details will be posted once we finalize all tournament information. One thing we pride ourselves on, especially with this tournamaent is having FUN! Sportsmanship is a MAJOR part of overall scoring.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Armies do NOT need to be painted, but having painted armies will help as Appearance will be minor part of overall scoring.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">1,000 point Warhammer 40K armies from all standard codex and Chapter approved allowed</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Games will be played on 4' x 4' tables, so expect a lot of bloody action! This is Berks Spring ASSAULT!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">You will need Six (6) copies of your army list: 1 for the Tournament Ogranizer (me), 1 for you , and 1 copy for each of your opponents. If your list is not legal, you will lose points, be asked to leave, or have your scores adjusted as we see fit.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">You will need a copy of the 40K rule book, your codex, all dice and templates and rules associated with your army.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">We will play 2 rounds, break for lunch and play 2 more games.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Lunch will be included with your entry fee</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">We will have 9 prizes available: Best overall, (1, 2, 3), Best Sportsman (1, 2, 3), Best Appearance (1, 2, 3).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">We will also recognize Army Domination by best in each codex with a minor prize from one of our sponsors.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">We will operate on a much tighter schedule this year and NOT use the same problematic tournament program we had last year, so that things will run a lot smoother.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Last year we had 45 people show up, 38 were players. We will have the capablities to going to 50-60 players this year if needed. we are only 2 blocks away from where the tournament was held last year at the Country Inn & Suites hotel.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
