« on: August 26, 2015, 10:07:26 am »
On Saturday, October 3rd, Gamer's Haven in Colorado Springs ( 5730 Academy Blvd N 80918) will host a Firestorm Patrol Fleet Tournament!

This is a chance for experienced players to try out a new Fleet, or for brand new players to learn to play in a fun and challenging environment! There's no variety of experience like a tournament!

Start Time: Arrive at 10, play by 10:30~!

Also, now a $5 fee towards additional Prizes!

Fleets should be no more than 650pts, and confirm to Patrol Fleet construction rules.
Pairings will be Swiss style, with random initial pairings.
Rounds will be 90 minutes.
Scenarios will be selected for each round.
Painting is highly encouraged.
Prizes will be available for top scoring players! (Waiting on official kit approval)

Please post any questions here!

-Dale

I'll be the first...
Just for clarification you are talking 650 points within the patrol fleet restrictions in the fleet guide, not just a patrol fleet box -- correct?
Second, what size table are you planning on using 4x4 or 6x4?
Finally, how many rounds are you planning?

Thanks for setting cool stuff like this up  8)

650pts - if that's just a Patrol Fleet box, that's fine...

4x4 tables may be necessary, 6x4 if we have the space.

3 Rounds likely.

Just out of curiosity...why not the full 800 points allowed at the patrol fleet level?

Also, should we fold our October Denver Gamer's meetup into this event?

Most of the patrol fleet boxes sit at 500 to 550.
I just wanted to make sure, the naming conventions can be confusing.

650 will mean the games go relatively quick.

Becasue almost every Box set can come in at 650 without buying more.
800 requires further buying.

Sounds good to me!

Yeah, but...I can fit in another squadron of Spook Cruisers at 800 points, giving me 10 more spook torpedoes per turn...  ;D
