086 - Malifaux Masters 2014

So it turns out that through some strange twist of fate I managed to qualify for the UK Masters this year. I remember the 2012 UK Masters being among the most enjoyable events I've been to since I started playing Malifaux, so I excitedly accepted the invite.

I'm currently placed at 15th in the rankings, so only just squeezed into the Top 16 by a hair. Naturally then, the rest of the field is some incredibly tough opposition! And predictably, my competitive record against the majority of them isn't too great... (W/D/L)

1 Joel Henry - 0/0/0
2 James Doxey - 1/0/1
3 Jimmy Balderstone - 1/0/0
4 Luke Cocksedge - 0/0/0
5 Ant Hoult - 2/0/1
7 Craig Johnson - 0/0/3
9 Martin Wodehouse- 0/0/0
10 Rob Smith - 0/0/0
12 Nathan Chenery - 0/1/0
13 Gregory Piskosz - 0/0/1
15 Mike Taylor
16 Maria Wieland - 0/0/1
18 Tim Brown - 0/1/0
19 Jakab Sennett - 1/0/4
21 Robert Balmforth - 0/0/2
22 Matt Ledgewood -0/0/1

So overall that's 5/2/14, and four players that I'm completely untested against.With relatively few M2E games under my belt to date as well, I'm probably gearing up for a painful weekend...

On the bright side, both Joel and Rob are in my pool, so I'm guaranteed games against two players I've never played before. Rounded off with another game against Ant, which is always enjoyable, that's certainly worth travelling to a tournament for any day of the week!
