Congratulations to Queensland, winners of this year’s 40K Australian Team Challenge! Several months of preparation and practice, thousands of man-hours of gaming and painting, tens of thousands of kilometres of travel all culminated last weekend in the ATC event, and the following score board:
1 QUEENSLAND
2 VICTORIA
3 SOUTH AUSTRALIA
4 WESTERN AUSTALIA
5 TASMANIA
6 NEW SOUTH WALES
That is another solid result from what has proven to be a strong team over the years, and from all reports Queensland deserve their place as top dog of the Team Tournament scene this year.

If you’d like to see more detail, a friend of mine called Mike ‘Massaen’, is putting up a series of reports on his “Objective Secured” blog. He will be telling it from the perspective of captaining the Western Australian Team, and writes excellent battle reports that are well worth checking out.
