Cambridge Carnage 4 - Cambridge 10th September 2016

The EATBATS team have never disappointed me thus far with their events and the latest instalment was no exception.   Held at ARU the venue suits gamers perfectly.  Plenty of space for all those ripped abs to get by, clean toilets (other venues take note) and easy access to grub.  The cakes provided by the WAGS were a lovely touch and timings worked well.

As a doubles event this last point can be tricky as you and your opponent cogitate over what to charge, what to hex or what to shoot, and the 6 turn game was in jeopardy do to these discussions.  Note to doubles entrants - bear this in mind when prepping for events.

As to the event itself, here are the results;

The top three positions are perhaps not entirely unexpected, with tourney veterans bringing home the bacon again.  What was nice to see however was the mix of old and new faces at this event.  The eagle eyes among you will also notices the number of ladies present - a 300% increase on most events.  The new faces present regardless of gender added a refreshing level of intrigue to the build up and disproved the nonsense spouted by some that 9th would wither in the vine with the introduction of AoS.

Regarding the tourney build up - the punditry was hilarious.  There is all too little of this these days at events and I would certainly like to see more in the future!
