John and I used 50pts for our game, but we could add a few more.

Weirdo · « **Reply #181 on:** 28 April 2017, 08:03:54 »

I'm not picky, I just need to know beforehand, since building my entry is impossible otherwise and I don't want to waste people's time by making them wait while I figure one out at the store.

sevengates · « **Reply #182 on:** 29 April 2017, 02:03:06 »

Well, I had a pretty decent Kylo Upsilon with 50pts; how about 55pts (for spice)?

Weirdo · « **Reply #183 on:** 29 April 2017, 06:59:26 »

Spicy it is. 8)

Weirdo could you bring my combat cards and counters for Robotech RPG tactics?

For those who didn't make it to Gen X today, the game was called on account of TWO tournaments being run. (ironically one was X-wing). It also looks like there is a Star Wars Armada tournament next Sunday. So, Terence and I discussed the possibility of playing Alpha Strike at Madness.

MADNESS!?!? :D

We're playing Alpha Strike at Madness Comics? Please confirm because I am coming this Sunday.
If so yippie!

Weirdo · « **Reply #188 on:** 06 May 2017, 11:03:32 »

I'll certainly be there, with a 400-point force. :)

sevengates · « **Reply #189 on:** 06 May 2017, 17:48:59 »

I will be there as well, just need to make sure I have all my sheets.

AchanhiArusa · « **Reply #190 on:** 07 May 2017, 13:16:56 »

Not up to the drive. Hopefully next week. Have fun guys.

For those curious, here was the trailer from "The Hitman's Bodyguard". Warning: it IS Samuel Jackson so salty language is a constant. Aside from that I see this as a head canon prequel of Nick Fury, I don't care what reality says otherwise.

sevengates · « **Reply #192 on:** 09 May 2017, 01:56:41 »

SWEET......also found the trailer for "The Defenders" that followed to be amusing (though I don't watch Netflix)

Vice_Grip · « **Reply #193 on:** 15 May 2017, 22:15:09 »

Miss read the calendar. I will be at the comic book store this week.

In other news I have purchased the last of my SG1 fleet for now. Including the F-302's from Bergstrom.

Weirdo · « **Reply #194 on:** 15 May 2017, 22:27:05 »

What's the plan for this weekend? I vote Mario Kart, or an Epic X-Wing flight, but I'm flexible. :)

sevengates · « **Reply #195 on:** 16 May 2017, 02:02:27 »

Are you thinking of the Gozanti campaign? I'll pull out my sheets and read up on it. (maybe run a duel Epic with the Rebel transport)

Weirdo · « **Reply #196 on:** 16 May 2017, 09:50:55 »

I would very much like to play that sometime, but I was thinking more of a basic brawl to get the hang of the big ships first.

sevengates · « **Reply #197 on:** 17 May 2017, 02:04:02 »

OH....so you want me run the Ghost again? Let me see what I can put together.

Weirdo · « **Reply #198 on:** 17 May 2017, 06:45:05 »

You can run whatever you want. I'm just saying I'd like to pay an Epic game if others are up for it. Apparently the point values for Epic are 300 per side, or 200 per player if it's more than one-on-one.

sevengates · « **Reply #199 on:** 18 May 2017, 01:58:59 »

so, let's see........200 - 118 = O0

sevengates · « **Reply #200 on:** 20 May 2017, 02:00:02 »

well frak....looks like I need to scrap the Ghost build (for now). On the other hand, the Corvette build is done and the Transport is in progress; hmmm, what to do with 138 points.

Weirdo · « **Reply #201 on:** 21 May 2017, 19:29:49 »

...my range ruler was on my dining table the whole time. :-[

sevengates · « **Reply #202 on:** 21 May 2017, 21:04:20 »

......then it's possible that it is my second ruler that is missing at the store; also, we may have mixed our target locks during clean-up because I have a some singles that I didn't have before.

Weirdo · « **Reply #203 on:** 22 May 2017, 14:13:23 »

I'll take a look through all my tarlocks when I get the chance.

We talked about either Starmada or Naval Command this next weekend, right? In either case, what point value?

Speaking of Naval Command, I took a look at the various pdfs. The standalone US fleet list does give the Charles F Adams-class an EW rating of 4+, but the fleet cards off and core rulebook both say 4+, which makes much more sense for a destroyer from the early sixties. 7+ really looks like it requires 21st century tech to achieve(or at least 90s), and I suspect it's a typo in the fleet list pdf.

Vice_Grip · « **Reply #204 on:** 23 May 2017, 15:35:21 »

I might have been looking at an older stat line for the C. F. Adams. It doesn't carry any helicopters were the Knox does. It could simply be using that extra space for more decoys.

As far as point values go, I would need to check and I am at work right now. I know I have the Essex, 2 Belknaps, 2 C. F. Adams, and 2 Knox.

On Starmada, Bergstrom and Shapeways both delivered. So I have all 6 cruisers pretty much ready to rock. The B model with ZPM is probably tje definitive version so I was thinking of running those. I think they were 880 pts each. That comes out to 5280pts max.

I think we should play some where in the reagion of 2000 pts per fleet and include 4 fleets so we can get more people to play. But if its just the two of us, 4000pts sounds better.

What do you think?

Weirdo · « **Reply #205 on:** 23 May 2017, 18:25:43 »

Those come out to 27 points, so I'll see what I can work up on that end. What kind of scenario sounds good to you?

And 4k for Starmada sounds good to me.

Vice_Grip · « **Reply #206 on:** 23 May 2017, 20:15:51 »

For Naval Command, I think a search and rescue game type or sub hunt might be fun. We could pull a Down Periscope and combine the sub hunt idea with a target. You sink my carrier, I sink your subs, or something like that.

For Starmada, I have that planet I am working on. We could do an attack/defense scenario centered on that.

Weirdo · « **Reply #207 on:** 24 May 2017, 06:46:27 »

Works for me. :)

AchanhiArusa · « **Reply #208 on:** 26 May 2017, 23:08:39 »

I was thinking about proxies for Phase II Robotech Pieces and I can up with a few using Mechwarrior Age of Destruction (I've also spent a lot of, maybe too much, time at http://www.robotechresearch.com looking at semi-canon units):

Gilouza Glaug = Marauder IIC
Queadlunn-Rau = Neanderthal (the -Gult unit would be that with a few cannons glued on)
Nousjaedel-Ger = Crimson Hawk
Nousgarma-Ger = Jade Hawk
Tolver Malgrin = Thunder Fox

I guess I can use and maybe work on the extra Crimson Skies planes I have to turn them into something approximating the Gnerl fighter pod.
