Gathering in the Desert Operation Scorpion Coverage

So,

GitD2014 is in the books, we had no major issues and everyone seemed to have a great time. I would like to thank a few people, first, the GitD Staff (Shannon, Mike, Ted, Jerry and Rob). Secondly thanks to Darren at Imperial Outpost, our site for this years GitD, in fact Imperial Outpost has hosted 4 out of 6 years. I would also like to thank Dave over at Crusaders Retreat as well as Warlord games. Also a big thank you to Gorgon Studios for the awesome miniatures they supplied. And lastly to all the players that came out for this event! GitD dosn't happen unless the players come and play, so thank you!

One thing I would like to mention, you will notice that the Battle scores are rather low compared to the other scores. Warlord Tournament packet that they released last year has wins being three points, ties being one point and a loss being zero points. I had a feeling these may be a bit low and I was right. But since this was the first year I ran with it but I will be making some changes in future events.

I will be posting up pictures later this week, but if you want to see some videos, one of the players Randy Burnett posted some video coverage on Youtube here:
Day One

Day Two

So stay tuned for pictures...
