Terry Pike Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I didn't want to clog up the event thread so made sense to start a new one here! What are people taking to Blood & Glory? What power levels are people aiming at? Are you purposely taking a weaker army to aim for max sports scores? As a player who rarely ever takes a "weak/sporting/friendly" list to an event I'm expecting to get the lower end of sports scores regardless of what I take. The scoring system is also weighted heavily to smashing your opponent off the table with 30pts for a major victory and only 10 for a minor victory. So with these 2 factors in mind I see 3 options for myself at the event. Option 1: Take the strongest/most powerful/filth list I can, accept I will only get 3/7 (minimum) sports in most games and aim to major victory every game and win 30tps (major) and minimum 3tps for sports. Option 2: Take out most of the strength and synergy from my lists and play for minors/majors where possible and aim for sports scores. Make the list more rounded but with obvious weaknesses. Option 3: Take absolute junk and get "End Times" drunk on the Saturday! A minor victory with full sports is worth 17tps whereas a major with no sports is worth 33tps! I know you should be aiming for 37tps (major and full sports), I just can't see people handing over full sports after being majored. So how is everyone else going out prep for this event?

Especially on Battleplans like Blood & Glory where a major takes either tricking your opponent or basically tabling him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Fraser Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Adi Mac will win the event then, I've heard on podcasts he gets best sports whilst tabling people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Fraser Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Given it's 4vps diff between top & bottom sports, assuming a 5 round event (not checked) then it's max 20TPs difference over the event. So the equivalent of 1 Major vs Minor. Or in other words, if you smash all of your opponents you should win the event regardless of sports unless you're unfortunate enough to have 2 people that have both done the same come the end and they're better sports than you.
