A Break From the Usual Programing + ETC wrap up

The blog will be a bit quiet for the next 6 weeks as I am off holidaying in Europe.

ETC has been played and won by Germany. Congrats go out to them. Our Team NZ where close behind them in 26th place, just being nudged out by the Aussies...

ETC was an awsome experience and I highly recommend anyone who has the opportunity to go take up the challenge.

I finished the weekend with a 14, 11, 10, 10, 9, and a 0!
I managed to loose a K'daai Destroyer and Sorcerer Prophet on Bale Taurus (both undamaged) to a single Skullcannon in my match vs Denmark. The Prophet also managed to fluff all his and the Tuarus's attacks and then fail his break test on 9 to be caught vs Malta, both games turning big wins to draws/losses...
My best match was vs the Netherlands Dark Elves player Evilmonkeylord. Easily the most enjoyable gaming experience I have had in a long time. The game resulted in a draw with 0 vp difference. The Ceczh Republic was a great team to play against as well, as where all our games.

Serbia was a great host nation. The event was organized extremly well and I m told it is the best yet by others. Met a bunch of new friends whom I hope to meet maybe next year. Loved the 0.50 1 litre beers as did all.

I am off to Prague now so may not be posting for a while.

Team Kiwi is up bright and early today. No hangovers to speak of and it has nothing to do with the 30 degreeheat in the mornings...
