Panzerschreck XVII Report

Panzerschreck XVII Report with Tom Robertson.
This year the 17th Flames of War tournament ran Early War using the new 4th Edition rules. 16 teams played 5 games over the Saturday and Sunday, in the usual beautiful Manawatu weather - sunshine! The same could not be said for the few days leading up to the weekend with roads closed due to a country-wide storm, with snow and ice, resulting in some interesting detours & extended travel times for those brave enough to still attend.

Congratulations to all the Place Winners and their prizes were all well deserved. The armies were painted to a high standard overall but there was the odd semi finished army - I wonder if the players ran out of "last night before tourny" time to complete their armies?!
Determining the winning Best Painted Army was not an easy task though, as so many were of such a high standard.

The organisers supplied the usual war gaming tournament food of pies, bacon sandwiches, steak sandwiches and sausages and bread plus lots of free coffee and tea, oh and chocolate bars. The only hiccup was late Saturday when the event toilets blocked up, requiring some multi-phone work to get sorted, which it was thank goodness!

The Manawatu Duellists would like to thank Battlefront for their generous support again this year with some great prizes and also a thank you to Scott Bowman from Paraparaumu Beach Pharmacy (they sell toy soldiers too!) for some gift vouchers, which I believe were promptly spent back at Scott’s stall. So another great tournament despite the weather and the plumbings best efforts to derail us, so now it is onto planning for next year and the XVIII Games…
~ Tom.
