The Hobbytown in Hurst has some 1/700 scale naval terrain that I'm looking at purchasing. Piers, docks, S-boat/U-boat bunkers.

.....also, I have completed my C-ROC build for both 200pt and 300pt.

.....also, also....what is this big event I see being talked about; I have no desire to join Facebook (sorry)

Weirdo · « **Reply #241 on:** 20 June 2017, 08:30:45 »

It's a Monte Diablo-style world wide event. I believe it's Wolf vs Rasalhague, set during the Invasion. You can find more information up in General Discussion(once you filter out all the whining), or in the dedicated threads here in Challenges.

Just finalized the Infinity. It comes in at 5514 CRAT with its load of Frigates. 3176 without.

Only half of my weapons chart ended up filled out, did I do something wrong?

Geez, that's even higher than the Triumviron's 4745. By comparison, other monster shop point values include the Shadow Cruiser at 1560, a Borg Cube at 3382, or the Manticoran King William SDN at 4276.

Actually, how would you guys feel about a monsters clash? Bring the Infinity, I'll bring a selection of other ginormous munchships(or small squadrons of weaker stuff like the Shadows), and we have a free-for-all clash of the titans. Some ships will be at a disadvantage due to having point values hundreds of points lower than others, but the sheer lethality of the stuff we'll be throwing around means that even the highest-pointed stuff will be taking BAD hits, and often.

Sounds fun to you guys?

That sounds awesome!

In other news I bought a 3x3 hex grid star mat. It delivers in 3-5 weeks unfortunately. But it should give us some space to get some more interesting games in.

Weirdo · « **Reply #243 on:** 21 June 2017, 20:40:18 »

I've got a truly immense space mat, but the paper Battleface ones are usually just easier to work with.

AchanhiArusa · « **Reply #244 on:** 26 June 2017, 09:17:42 »

Would we benefit with a regular schedule of games? I know the regular offerings are X-wing, X-wing Mario Kart, Starmada, Alpha Strke, Battletech, and Naval Command. I personally can add Ogre/GEV, Call to Arms (Babylon 5, Starfleet, and Victory at Sea), Crimson Skies, Renegade Legion, and Robotech RPG Tactics.

Weirdo · « **Reply #245 on:** 26 June 2017, 09:43:28 »

I'd be up for a regular rotation, sure.

By the way, next weekend is looking to be Battletech, with Darrell bringing a scenario from Sorenson's Sabres(I think).

AchanhiArusa · « **Reply #246 on:** 27 June 2017, 00:22:27 »

Sweet. And yay! Battletech. I will be there barring any unforseen circumstances. Of course, this does mean I need to finally learn Starmada and Naval Command.

BOOOYAAH....THE BOARDS ARE BACK IN TOWN, THE BOARDS ARE BACK IN TOWN............ O0 O0 O0

Weirdo · « **Reply #248 on:** 14 July 2017, 00:27:40 »

So...what's the plan for this weekend? :)

Sharpnel · « **Reply #249 on:** 14 July 2017, 01:01:18 »

*Well, Weirdo, it's the same thing we do every weekend, WORLD DOMINATION!

AchanhiArusa · « **Reply #250 on:** 14 July 2017, 23:29:56 »

Oh, yeah. I was going to make a schedule or something.

sevengates · « **Reply #251 on:** 15 July 2017, 02:32:26 »

How about Mario Cart X-wing?

Weirdo · « **Reply #252 on:** 15 July 2017, 11:21:54 »

Works for me. 55 points, or something else?

sevengates · « **Reply #253 on:** 15 July 2017, 21:58:28 »

That works for me.

Phaedros · « **Reply #254 on:** 15 July 2017, 22:08:26 »

*Cue dramatic music*

I have returned! :)

What's up guys?

AchanhiArusa · « **Reply #255 on:** 16 July 2017, 22:22:07 »

So here is the schedule for gaming. It is subject to change, but for right now it should make things easier. I just am listing games, not scenarios or point values. We should later have suggestions for something occasionally new to place in.

7/23 AlphaStrike
7/30 StarMada
8/06 Crimson Skies
8/13 Naval Command
8/20 X-Wing (Also AnimeFest weekend)
8/27 Battletech (since this is a battletech board after all)

Hopefully this will help out and we can work on scenarios (maybe even tie them together, nah).

sevengates · « **Reply #256 on:** 19 July 2017, 01:57:44 »

YAY!!!!....just saw Second Succession War sourcebook on the home page.

Weirdo · « **Reply #257 on:** 19 July 2017, 06:54:20 »

Maestros de Queso! >:D

Weirdo · « **Reply #258 on:** 19 July 2017, 13:48:52 »

So Alpha Strike this weekend...the usual 400 points?

sevengates · « **Reply #259 on:** 20 July 2017, 02:09:03 »

HMMM......how many Urbies can I fit into that?

Weirdo · « **Reply #260 on:** 20 July 2017, 08:31:10 »

That tells me I need a "kill it with fire" force... >:D

sevengates · « **Reply #261 on:** 24 July 2017, 00:05:34 »

Just picked up the Battletech Manual, TRO SSW, and Tyrfing; time for some reading.

AchanhiArusa · « **Reply #262 on:** 24 July 2017, 17:32:09 »

Since Weirdo is going to the Weird City for the next two weeks, would the following schedule be acceptable?:

7/30 Crimson Skies
8/06 X-Wing
8/13 StarMada
8/20 Naval Command (Also AnimeFest weekend)
8/27 Battletech (since this is a battletech board after all)
9/03 Painting Workshop

AchanhiArusa · « **Reply #263 on:** 28 July 2017, 22:12:20 »

Something has come up and I will need to change the schedule because I won't be there Sunday (since I have all the Crimson Skies stuff):

7/30 X-Wing
8/06 Crimson Skies
8/13 StarMada
8/20 Naval Command (Also AnimeFest weekend)
8/27 Battletech (since this is a battletech board after all)
9/03 Painting Workshop

and a new JoJo's Bizarre Adventure started tonight ;D

Weirdo · « **Reply #265 on:** 04 August 2017, 15:14:20 »

I'm back earlier than originally expected. Crimson Skies this weekend?

sevengates · « **Reply #266 on:** 05 August 2017, 01:28:01 »

works for me.

Weirdo · « **Reply #267 on:** 08 August 2017, 06:47:36 »

Starmada's next up on the rotation. Any particular scenario or point values?

Weirdo · « **Reply #268 on:** 08 August 2017, 11:46:37 »

Also, can we please start using the standard movement system instead of the basic stuff? For those who don't have the rules, it can be found in the demo for Starmada Unity, under rules 3.1 through 3.4. Note, that's the demo for Unity edition, not Admiralty, so you should probably ignore everything else in that book.

Vice_Grip · « **Reply #269 on:** 08 August 2017, 14:39:56 »

I am definitely up for Starmada. As far as the fleet goes, I would like to play my UNSC fleet. All 4 Marathon class Heavy Cruisers, 4 flotillas of Paris class frigates and 2 flotills of Charon class frigates. I will have to check poins when I get home. If thats too much I can split it in half pretty easy.

As far as game type, I have 3 ideas.

1) Doomsday: One player is in command of a doomsday weapon. The other player(s) are tasked with defending a planet from the weapon.

2) Orbital Insertion: One team is tasked with defending a planet while the other team attacks the planet with marines.

3) Capture: Teams deploy in corners of the board accross tje table from each other but on the same end of the table (so corners by the window). In the middle is a civilian ship (hull 30, engines 6, sheilds 2). The civilian ship will move towards the board edge opposite the window when not under a player's control. Players gain control by having a positive number of marines onboard. Victory is achieved by getting the civilian ship off yoir board edge. If the civilian ship is destroyed or leaves of its own accord then the game ends in a draw.

What do you guys think?
