Tournament Coverage - NSW Masters

Australia has yet to have a national invitational masters event. Last year was the closest with a New South Wales invitational. This year the masters was open to all but attracted a field of good players from various parts of NSW.

The event was a 5 round 1625 Late War open event. Each player could bring two lists which would be chosen in secret each round by players. The list had to be from the same briefing and had to have the same HQ teams.

As always, the Games Cube was a great host providing top quality tables, terrain and prizes. The store was also jam packed with Team Yankee and Flames of War figures. Scott did a terrific job as To and bye player. Sadly his Churchill's had a tough weekend!

Here are the photos - with commentary - I took of the action over 2 days. I hope you enjoy.
