Welsh Open 2013 AAR & Photo Dump

Hello All

The weekend just gone myself, Adam and Winner Dave together with 49 other gamers went to the Welsh Open at Firestorm Games in Cardiff. The tournament was Mid War 1550pts with 5 games.

This would be Adam and myself's first MW tournament and Winner Dave's Second. Overall this was a good showing for the Bournemouth gamers (or Frenchies as we are called on the UK tournament seen) with 5 of us making the top 20. We have a special AAR coming up in a post on Tuesday, but here are the results and a photo dump.
