For those that don't already know over the course of this weekend is the European Team Championships in both warhammer and 40k which in turn sees, some of the best players from countries all over the world competing to become champions.
Although reports for our own team are a bit sketchy at the minute it appears that in our first game against Austria we managed a very reasonable draw which was a fantastic result considering we have never won a complete round at the ETC before, so I'm sure Johnny and the guys will be very pleased.
In game 2 it appears that we have been up against a lot tougher opponent being Sweden which unfortunately meant it looks like we lost.
In game 3 we were paired up against European team since there was an odd number of teams taking part players volunteered to form another team to fill in the gap, again it looks like this stage we took another loss.
Below is the standings after day 1 and by no means are we last
1. Germany 6 (+184)
2. Poland 6 (+144)
3. Sweden 5 (+162)
4. Italy 5 (+68)
5. USA 4 (+100)
6. Spain 4 (+46)
7. England 4 (+40)
8. Latvia 4 (+34)
9. Wales 4 (+20)
10. France 4 (-6)
11. Czech Republic 3 (+36)
12. Euro Merc Team 3 (0)
13. Switzerland 3 (-10)
14. Belgium 3 (-28)
15. Republic of Ireland 3 (-58)
16. Denmark 2 (-12)
17. Scotland 2 (-16)
18. Finland 2 (-56)
19. Norway 2 (-94)
20. Belarus 1 (-38)
21. Austria 1 (-52)
22. Northern Ireland 1 (-144)
23. Greece 0 (-180)
24. Russia 0 (-1140)
That was pretty much the end of day 1 pairings for day 2 were already posted up at the close of play and it looks like Russia is next.
Hopefully today Team NI get off to a good start with Russia and who knows even possibly get our first round win, that in itself would mean so much to the guys, and hopefully compensate all the hard work and effort that they have put in over recent months and weeks, after all were not Brazil we are Northern Ireland.
