FloodMachine
http://www.wargamerau.com/forum/index.php?showforum=358

towards combined flood relief efforts on the eastern seaboard! Raffle
results were...
PP donated Gatorman Army major prize: Jay (NSW)
Defiant Gaming 35pt army: Rob Ansell (QLD)

and Auscon's support of the QLD Cancer Council.

Road to War
http://www.wargamerau.com/forum/index.php?showforum=343
The road may be well and truly travelled by now, but occasional new
threads are popping up - for the hobbyist, drop past and take a look!
RankingsHQ
http://www.rankingshq.com
Rankings HQ is very excited to have recently launched Warmachine &
Hordes on its tournament rankings and social networking web site.
Rankings HQ is an international rankings business that tracks and
publishes rankings for gamers around the world. There are over 1,000
tournaments and 12,000 players in the database with almost 3000
registered users maintaining their profiles, personal blogs and

Faction and Warcaster/Warlock rankings. A few tournaments have
already been imported for Australia (http://www.rankingshq.com/
rankings/pp.aspx?RegionId=1) & New Zealand (http://www.rankingshq.com/
rankings/pp.aspx?RegionId=10). We look forward to building up the data
on the site providing a great tool for players to use to enhance their
hobby.
Recently Cryx, and in particular Lich Lord Asphyxious have taken the
lead on the lists, so get out there and respresent for your faction,
and bug your TO to up the results today!
Oz Super Series
http://www.rankingshq.com/ozsuperseries/
Stolen shamelessly from the announcement thread on WargamerAU, the
team at Irresistible Force have been working behind the scenes with
Hall of Heroes and Realm of Legends to put together a new series that
will build on the burgeoning Warmachine & Hordes scene in Australia
and
provide a fantastic new tournament championship.
Tickets for events are available through the RankingsHQ website listed
above, with events in several states and possibly more to come. Forum
chatter seems heavy on the Super Series, it should be a real treat.

FINAL WORD
As always with any charity event I was both proud of and awed by our
nationas altruistic spirit. A big thank you to everyone involved in
FloodWar, and a big welcome to all the new players we seem to be
getting over the last six months. Enjoy AUSCON ladies and gentlemen,
I'd have given my left arm to be there if work had let me, but I'll
see the other 31 of you playing at Conquest on Good Friday, and maybe
anyone dropping past Battle Bunker in Melbourne on Easter Monday where
some of us will be getting our Dystopian Wars on.
As always, PLAY LIKE YOU'VE GOT A PAIR.
