I'm fine with options, I just need to know exactly the point value beforehand if you want to do something else, otherwise there's no way I can have a force ready in time.

After playing with the builder it seems 350 is more reasonable.

Well, this thread now goes to 11. Since the rotation spun out of control, we can try it again:
9/17 Crimson Skies
9/24 StarMada
10/1 Naval Command (Maybe I can learn it enough to translate a Harpoon Scenario)
10/8 Battletech
10/15 Alpha Strike (PV 350)
10/22 X-Wing
Not this is very much subject to change from things like accidental head explosions or surprise trips.

Just finished my Covenant fleet.
The ORS came in at 1172, CCS at 851, and SDV at 199.
So... What are we doing? Schedule says Starmada.

How about each of us bring a 3,000 point fleet. At the store, we'll split everyone into two teams, pick one of the scenarios from the core rulebook, and adjust PV accordingly. I'll bring two fleets, in case somebody needs an extra.

Okay, because of unforeseen circumstances:
9/24 StarMada
10/1 Alpha Strike (PV 400)
10/8 Battletech
10/15 Naval Command (Maybe I can learn it enough to translate a Harpoon Scenario)
10/22 X-Wing
10/28 Crimson Skies

Whelp, I'm back in the Arlington area. I will try to make it on Sundays, but I need to get some work stuff sorted out first. Hopefully everything has been going alright? Looking forward to getting some B-tech in, along with some SSSPPPAAACCCEEEEE games as well.

Yes; Sam and I played a "info raid" scenario for our Alpha Strike game using some of his German maps and some buildings.

All over the place. Google or Tumblr, mostly.
Now, back to the question of 6k
or
something else?
If anyone wanted to suggest a scenario instead of the usual smashemup, this seems like an awfully convenient time to speak up.

I'm thinking a USN carrier group vs...somebody. Could be Russians, could be anyone else, even call it a NATO exercise.
Any requests on the somebody?

I've always wanted to do Kirov vs. Iowa. So a battleship/carrier group against the Admiral Kuznetsov, Velikiy, and Nakhimov, and their support ships? I just read the rules today on the bus ride of today's field trip and I learned it enough to possible convert Command at Sea stats for (I can hear you groan) WWII ships.

That's a lot more minis than I have....
Try trimming it to between twenty and thirty points? That's how big most of our games so far have been.
Where is that ship found? Also it looks like it uses the older ruleset, not the 2.0 rules.
