DW at either the GV or E&E

[CDR-G]

Mandatory home projects today. How did it go? I would love to see a balanced game. That would likely need a 2 to 1 point advantage for Earth.
I have a nice convoy scenario that seems to be working well. fast developing with some interesting dynamics.

Was a fun game! First time going up against the Invaders, and while they were pretty tough to take down the new rules make this more of a possibility than before. Balance on the forces was a little off tho, in the Human's favor. I'm sure Creon will have this all fixed up by the time of the Historicon game.

First time in quite a while for Long Nine and I there, so was very nice to see a couple familiar faces, and even better to see some new ones. We were even able to get a passer by to join us in the play test as well! There was a fair amount of chatter to getting a campaign of sorts going again as well, which would be fantastic. As long as games could be scheduled out could do about 2 weekends a month.

Anyone interested in a game on the 12th at either the Game Vault or Eagle & Empire?

[CDR-G]

Yes indeed. I need to warm up for  Historicon. It would be sweet to do it at GV. Much less pain for me.
 I am tinkering with an all air FSA, quite a selection!
What are you up for?

[Last Rites]

I have been tinkering with the FSA lists again as well! Running an air v air FSA "training" mission could be cool. Otherwise I have a KOB sub list, that would be ineffective, the Australians and Raj starter boxes. What points value did you have in mind? If we can rally some other players I'd be up for taking FSA naval with your air against some other folks.

Only problem is the 18-19 are now looking to be better days. Plans got made for me recently and don't think I'll be able to get away. Also getting down to the GV will be easier for me then. Thoughts?

[CDR-G]

Historicon will be going in Fredericksburg on the  16th through the 19th.
I have nothing scheduled there on the 19th. So could skip that day and play DW elsewhere, GV or my place.
Enough room for several people and more than one game.

This Saturday it looks like Larry and I will be at the E&E.
Anyone else?

[Last Rites]

At a going away event all day. I'll pass only the word tho, and good luck!

[CDR-G]

Venue change to Flashback comics. 1000

[Last Rites]

Never heard of this place. Neat that there is another place to play some tabletops! Let us know how it goes!

[CDR-G]

How did it go , hmm.
Larry could no longer make the time do business call ins that are nearly constant. He is out of the DW game.

I am now in the situation where I can provide a fleet to a new player.
I will be posting at the GV and at Historicon.

[Last Rites]

Larry is out of the game?! That sucks, hopefully he comes back to it soon. How is Flashback as a venue? I could be up for trying a game there as its less of a drive from where i am at.

Again I will have to postpone traveling to a game this weekend. Pops gets back from his deployment in Korea early so gaming will have to get superseded by family. Luckily, the brother and I are talking about getting in a game late Sat night. If it happens will be sure to post. Best of luck at Historicon, and please share how it went!

MadDrB suggested a demo/tourney at the Game Vault in the next few weeks.
This would provide some small (750-800-with five activations each) scenarios, heavily moderated for new players, and a small tourney (two 1250 - 1500 points with a max activation limit) games switching between two scenarios.
 I have two starter fleets, FSA and  RoF. FSA is from Shadow Hunter and the RoF Has a St. Malo, Magenta, Cherbourg, Couronne, 3 Dieppe, 5 Requin, 10 Lyons, 6 Moustiques and 15 SAWs (not 16), with three trays.
My intent is to give them to new players that will actually play and are in the area.
Ideas?

[Last Rites]

I could be interested in a tournament, and know two others that would as well. Please share the details! Not so sure we would be able to travel down there for a demo game however.

How did Historicon go?!! I haven't heard anything on it.

[CDR-G]

Tournament; I can't see getting through two games in a day. I think we need more than two games for a tournament. So first questions is when to start and extend it over two consecutive days ( better for me) or split across two weekends?
I want to do a larger point size but keep the number of activations down- a chance to bring in dreads and interesting combos.
I can supply some of the fleets if needed. so 1,500 to 2,000. Some fleets could have more than one player if desired.
Timed moves, generous but not endless.
I want to have at least one game have an Aerial core force- even if just on one side.
Depending on the number of players, say six to start, I would like to have at least three games, with one a set scenario which will accommodate different fleets. The final games will have at least four players, two playing for the win, two others for 3rd/4th.
I want prizes for all finalists and something for all participants.
Possible prizes, Bombard box sets (finalists, Copy of Admiral rules, terrain sets, playing mat, Tac cards sets for all all entrants if they wish.
Any New player entering can win either a FSA or RoF starter fleeted (painted)- by drawing (if only two then each get one). These new players could be teamed with a veteran.  otherwise these could a choice of a finalist.
When: in early August Next weekend and the following seeking
- Where, Game Vault is not a requirement, but would be a draw for new players-could look into Comics and gaming in Woodbridge, or the E&E.
