Strong Gaming

Last week I wrote up my experiences in the Big Base Brawl, which took place on the first day of the Bokur Brawl.  Today I will attempt to recall my games in the Team Event.  I started playing in the Team Event last year and had such a great time I came back.  This year, I was playing on Team Meat with Mark Howard, Keith Baker, Kat Royer and Mike Ireland.  I was listed on the paper as the team captain, but I was really just handling the paperwork between rounds.  Mike Ireland took care of the pairing process for us.  We were bringing Menoth (Mark), Retribution (Kat), Mercs (Mike), Cygnar (Keith) and Cryx (myself).
