<Bump>
Who's going to be there on Monday? I prefer Firestorm/Planetfall to practice, but I'll play whatever, even try out Taskforce
I can't make Monday, gotta pick the wife up from the airport. However, Quickdraw and I will be playing a MASSIVE Halo game on Sunday at the Haven using the new Firefight scenario. This is going to be one of those "put everything you've got on the table" kind of games, probably approaching 4000 points per side. In the "Firefight" scenario, each player deploys their flagship element towards the center of the table, then each turn you roll Halo dice to bring on additional battlegroups. For those that deploy, you have to roll to see if they come on with Vulnerable markers. AND, you have to roll for the board edge on which they deploy. So not everything goes on the table at once, and there will most likely be multiple smaller engagements all around the board while the two big guys (my
Punic and his CAS) duke it out in the middle. This will be my first deployment using the new
Orion-class assault carriers, and I have some new specialist formation cards for the
Marathon cruisers and
Paris frigates. Plus, it will be the first deployment for the
Punic-class supercarrier. Still need to think of a name for that ship.
We've budgeted the whole day for this game, so anyone who wants to come by and check it out, feel free. I will write up a battle report afterwards. Quickdraw beat up my UNSC pretty bad a couple weeks ago, so I'll be looking for some revenge...
