The circuit just keeps on trucking and another event with a name to long. The Battle at Stones Rivers (BFSR) named after a famous Civil War battle is a one day 40k tournament at a very Civil War point level (1863) and features rifles and swords as prizes for the winners!
The reason for the event’s long name comes its location in Murfreesboro where the Battle at Stones Rivers was fought. The BFSR is also one of the largest events held in Tennessee. As for the tourney itself it had 67 players and some great looking armies. The overall winner was once again not Grey Knights, but to an army that always seems ever the bridesmaid: Blood Angels. It shouldn’t come as any real surprise if you know the player that won– Brian Crew. He is long time 40k tournament player that often keeps a low profile, but has played internationally in many major events. He is also one of the 40k old schoolers that likes to hide his army list from the Internet, but from pictures and reports I think I have been able to piece together a close proximity to the list. Here take a look…
