Fearless Veteran, 2024

Other Fearless Veteran tournaments are described here: 2017, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024.  

The 2024 SAG Fearless Veteran tournament was a great time. Turn out was low again, but we did get 4 participants, the minimum number needed for our small, friendly, club tournaments, we could have handled 8 players total. 

This year we tried something new, the tournament game was Knights and Terrors (KATS), a fantasy miniature wargame that club member Jake Nedza is writing and developing. KATS is an army level high fantasy wargame which focuses on ease of play, tactical decision making, and broad support for your existing fantasy army. It uses armies painted and build for Warhammer or similar games and it has been reasonably popular in our club. We thought acting as a play-test tournament would help Jake out. 

As always, we were playing for the trophy, the winner's name on the Fearless Veteran plaque, and club bragging rights. 

Michael Adkins was again our Fearless Veteran!

1. Michael Adkins, 3-0

2. Paul Westermeyer, 2-1

3. Robert Kendzie, 1-2

4. Justin*/Jake Nedza, 0-3 

*Jake's friend Justin was only able to play a couple games then Jake stepped in.
