On November 6-7, 2010, I played in the second annual Bilbo's Birthday Bash Indy GT. The tournament gets its name from the fact that on its first year, it was held around Bilbo Baggins' birthday of September 22. This year, my buddy Brent Sinclair was hosting it in November due to personal convenience and Keith Hruska's stealing his date in September. The BBB as it's called is held in the Chicago area at the GW Battle Bunker.
This tournament was not part of the official GW circuit, so I decided to do something entirely new. I decided to bring a dwarven army which I had never played in any major tournament before. I also helped Brent with some setup of the event, and we had a little time to plan our work on the Adepticon Singles (I am assisting Brent in running that) and in planning our army for the Adepticon Team Tournament.
Brent picked me up at the airport on Friday and we headed over to the Bunker. Jamie met us there and we did table and terrain setup for the event. I had never been to the Chicago Bunker, but it was an excellent venue. We had our own area in the event room, and were able to set up a variety of terrain on the spacious tables. I did much of the terrain setup and made sure to balance the tables with symmetrical setup.
I knew that mobility scenarios were going to be an issue for me, and that turned out to be the case. Still, I managed to get 2 major wins, I minor win and 2 draws in the event, tying for second in battle and third overall. That nasty Tim Hixon stole my Best General award with the tie-breaker.
