Figured you guys might like to see the trophies we're using for a local Alpha Strike tournament this coming Saturday, 4/18/2026; the Iron Gauntlet III AS350 Tournament over at Noble Knight.

IRON GAUNTLET II

So we had the Iron Gauntlet II WolfNet Alpha Strike 350 Tournament this past Saturday, the ninth, over at Noble Night.

We had six contestants and ran through three rounds; I managed to take third place.

Lessons I think we took away from that were that Indirect Fire can be easily cheesed and the physical/melee is a great way to still deal damage while trying to cool down(physical/melee attacks do not generate heat; therefore if you're overheated and feeling vindictive bonk someone on the head).

After we got done with the tournament, we decided to get crazy-go-nuts and ran a game of Three-on-Three Bunkers.

All in all, a great time. Here are pictures me and the guy by the handle of Warpig took of the whole thing with more after the break.

So this week's local game was a riff on the Capture the Flag scenario from the Wolfnet AS350 tournament format. However it had one special boy...

THE FIREBALL XF!

It certainly was one of the best units to be grabbing flags but that was not the highlight for night.

No. THAT WAS THE 40 HEX CHARGE AGAINST A HUNCHBACK C.

WHICH WAS SUCCESSFUL.

AMMO GONE DAMAGE DONE PILOT EPPY

So despite all logic and reason, I somehow took First place at the Sub Zero Shootout WolfNet 350 Alpha Strike Tournament.

All told I was one of four people competing so I don't feel I did anything too impressive. We had three 80 minute rounds.

Here were the Early Republic Clan Ghost Bear Omega Galaxy Forces I took.

Here was my competition, all painted up by the same guy.

Round one was Capture the Flag. This one was a loss for me, but it was mostly due to some particularly bad rolls.

Round 2 was Overrun. This was a victory for me, mostly by way of objectives. Although I was particularly proud of overcooking my opponents Stormcrow Echo to the point it could no longer move after taking a motive hit. Unfortunately I didn't reallt take any good pictures once we got underway.

The third and final round was domination. I won this match by way of objective points and fighting like Marshall Zhukov. It the end of the match all I had left was my Balac attack helicopter but I had successfully removed all of my opponents fast movers rendering his force irrelevant.

I'm still surprised and confused that I won.

I celebrated with a meal of Shrimp and Cheddar Grits.

As far as lesson's learned goes... Perhaps taking that Eldingar was unnecessary, I didn't take it to field once. Then again I mostly took it as an insurance policy against C3, which no one brought. I will also say once again Heat weapons are BOSS. While they don't necessarily do all that much damage, they do certainly help you dictate terms and make your opponent sweat out the decisions they have to make.

All and all good times and fine dining
