That's not how it gets burned.

MIF was the second tourney i've ever been too and i had a blast.

Liked;

pre-released missions, no nasty surprises
playing 6 great opponents, 4 of which were people i didn't know
playing 2 girls, great to see the opposite sex getting involved.
throwing chocolates

Having a ten man guard squad kill Logan grimnar in H2H

The last game of the weekend, 5 turns, not one kill point scored for either of us (surprisingly one of the funnest games i've ever played). Thanks Matt

Disliked;
playing on the same table twice, especially when there was wayyyy too much terrain on the table.
nerd diet
Lack of sleep (my fault)
having to name each unit and squad leader in a guard army with 9 infantry units ( i gave up in the end)


All in all i had a blast, great weekend and i cant wait to do it all again in a years time

wow, that is some effort

[Heff]

Great weekend, much like it was last year and will be there again next year.

Likes were:
-The missions. Weren't over the top and alot of fun
-Players and just people involved. There were little if not any douchebags, which was a welcome change. And vans and cars didnt get smashed like at arc.
-Screaming 'WAAAAUUUUGGGHHHH" at the top of my lungs and the entire hall going silent.

Dislikes:
-The lack of room. Found my table was being invaded by other players chairs and I couldn't sit or stand comfortably around my table because of other players being everywhere.

Thats it really

Painting judging done with conversation

Opponents playing too slow, thus,
Not enough time for lunch.

Is 3 x 1500 pt games too much?

Cheers,

Heard a lot of reports of games ending on turn 3. No excuse for that really, the time allocated was sufficient.

[Cron Lord]

Likes: Panel Comp which obviously worked.
Whole atmosphere of the event.
Venue, close to food and drink of all kinds, Chadstone up the road had a salad bar (Although, I didn't make use of it....)

Dislikes: Day 2 ending meaning Monday and the working week arriving!
Theme - Its too subjective to mark and holds nothing for the game. Painting theme may be a better option?
Space, maybe needed more? As you said on day 1, game 1. The space shrinks when 126 gamers enter the nenue with all their associated paraphenalia...

Yeah, the time was enough for me. Only 1 game was cut short after 5 turns, the rest were rolled for normally. But i was pushing to get through them.. prodding my opponents to move along a little. Don't know what that does to a sports score though.

Missions Pre-released for playtesting and then feedback being taken on board to make better missions.

A great atmosphere without a single asshat in sight.

Ryland falling for the old 'Whats That' as Papa Stu pointed at his name badge and smacked him in the chops when he looked.

Great opponents, great terrain, great opponents


Dislikes

People playing on the table behind me touching my arse.....I'm looking at you Wyrm!!! A little more space would be good.

[Ruleslawyer]

Had an excellent time. MIF is one of my favourite tourneys.
Likes-
Everything

Dislikes-
My one complaint was myself. Just felt a little flat on the first day( ) but the great guys I played made me feel much better( ).


As for the complaints about subjective things like painting,comp and theme, just follow the TO's guidelines and you should score well enough. Not neccessarily max but well.

Liked:

Missions - all missions kicked arse
Opponents - 5/6 of my opponents were great to play against
Proximity of the venue to the city - makes it much less of a trek compared to a couple of outer suburbs venues which are half way to Sydney
Panel comp - peer is not the way to go
Missions pre-released for discussion - removes the clunkiness
My dice - ALL WEEKEND

Disliked:

Tight game times - makes playing an Ork army a disadvantage
Theme - It's a waste of time
Finishing 25th when I didn't lose a game

Sook. I named every model in my guard army!

well, the scandinavian name generator named them all for you.....

[cmdr_roy]

The time allocated to play the games was plenty, some people just need to be more decisive and start planning their turn a little before, or dont bring 150 minis that need moving every turn.

I liked it all overall, good prizes and well run in general.

Issues that need some thought, space in the main hall was squishy between tables, being bigger doesnt necessarily mean better, set a player cap based on space and budget accordingly.
Food, its always an issues no matter what, at least the drinks were cold which i liked and the cafe food was alright once you got service (at least waiting wasnt an eye strain).
Mission wise i thought most of them were ok, however the 1st one with all area terrain blocking LOS was a bit too random based on various tables, mine was a cityfight style and it shut down large areas of the board, not good when you are facing an assault army that just pops around a corner etc.
I think there were too many missions with multiple objectives, some hidden and some not, trying to cover multiple small + primary + killing HQ and taking out enemy units just lends itself to making assault armies that rely of wiping out the opponent, not capturing objectives, just found myself way to stretched in too many missions with too many options, really plays to the strength of marines with multiple tactical squads.

Stu, subtle.

Pft, I named all my guardsmen, plus gave each of them a family tree and a paragraph of back story.

Likes
-The big sports/battle sheets (im easily amused)
-Assasinate being an mission option you get to choose yourself (not by the enemy
-Panel comp (very happy here)
-Blizzard mission (that was epic win)
-Imperial armour (loved using this.)

Dislikes
-Having to fix my models, which always break when i use them


As for time, only issue I had was round one, it I find strange, Deathwing vs MechSOB should be a fast paced game. I assume its a combination of slowly getting into it and having to use the toilet

[Dies Irae]

I also liked the winter mission.
