Man, a lot of people don't get tournament play. It's equal parts entertaining and sad.
Stronghold is a neat addition. Super-forts, void shields and Str D are full retard, but the majority of it is nice. My main complaint with stronghold is that it's a paid errata. Stronghold fixes a lot of the problems with forts in the BRB, but you can only use the updated rules if you fork out the cash for it. If Stronghold's release was immediately followed by an online errata that updated the forts in the BRB, I'd be ok with it.
