Midwest Rampage 6 is in the books. Thanks to everyone who came out to play 3K Warhammer for the weekend! HUGE thanks to the MWR staff, I could not do this on my own...Tom McClure, my co-host this year - Amy P and Kari G, scoring table gurus - Rique C, for general erranding and transport duties - Britney P, for taking care of photography duties - Kathy L, jumping in to be my errand runner whenever needed - Leslie P, our most awesome Paint Judge - Scott VV, Scott K, & Les C for running the Ringer Army for us. Also thanks to the attendees for pitching in to help set up and tear down!
A very big thanks go out to Gryfalia's Aerie for being extremely cool and hosting the event at their store. We absolutely could not have done it this year without the assist from them. It was a great place to hold the event and I hope the monthly events there take off big as it's a super place for a 30-ish person event.
Without further ado, here are the winners for the weekend:

Thank you again, everyone, for making this event so much fun for me to organize and run!
Also coming a bit later, some thoughts on how it all went. I will say that except for a few pretty minor glitches and a couple new lessons learned (which happens every year), this was probably the most smooth flowing one yet. Friday Magic and Saturday morning Farmer's Market cost us about a half hour of time due to setting up terrain and general negotiating the way to the store that morning but after having to push to a 9:30 start for Round 1, the rest of the day ran on schedule. Having plenty of minions was a massive help with this. It was nice to get to run the Ringer one game because I *wanted* to, instead of because I *had* to, and knowing that Tommy had hosting duties covered while I got in a game against Scott Parshall.
Awesome, awesome weekend. Expect 3K, Straight Rules again next year!!
