NukeCon 2020 with Greg Lockton It's certainly been a while since we were able to run a tournament here in New Zealand and especially in Auckland as a result of the most recent restrictions from Covid but this weekend past saw the inaugural running of our  new dedicated Team Yankee tournament, NukeCon!

Usually part of the bigger FlamesCon tournament, this year we decided to split the events to allow players the opportunity to participate in both systems if they wanted to. The event was a 5 round, 75 point list affair with a variety of nations being represented. We made use of the fantastic facilities at Mighty Ape and, owing to the smaller number of players and the need to operate in as much of a socially distanced environment as possible, each table was set up in its very own air conditioned room! Hows that for service!

The moment of the tournament for me (that I witnessed) was Wayne's platoon of Leopard 1's taking out Ryan's platoon of Leopard 2's even though one of them had front armour facing to the Leo 1's...

There were some great games played and very close results as well. The 75 point lists meant that most games reached a result without the need for stalling out and a lot of big tanks on display as well. Once the gunfire had settled though, there could only be one winner....

1st Place: Andrew Duncan - Mixed British and US 2nd Place: Alastair Jeffery - ANZAC 3rd Place: Ian Burgos - West German

Best Sport: Phil Yates - British Best Painted: Phil Petry - British The Spoon: Ray O'Connor - Soviet

Massive thanks to all the players for turning out and having such a fantastic time and also to Dave from Mighty Ape for hosting us.
