Fair warning: the Ares has the Command Mech quirk on top of everything else, so unless you have your own command elements, I'm going to have a +3 Initiative until the tripod drops.

Also, how do folks feel about the enhanced flamers rule from BattleMech Manual? Under that optional rule, flamers deal heat AND damage at the same time, instead of one or the other.

Post-holiday shopping was... fruitful.

523 pts of WaS stuff just showed up in the mail. 8)

Woohoo! More aquatic destruction.

Random toss out; if you are heading north and end up near Texas Toy Solider, they are going to start carrying CAV I think. I've gotten everything arranged and will know for sure when we play tomorrow evening. I may try to run some demos and games on a weekend as well.

I also believe a gentleman is running an Alpha Strike demo on the 12th out of that store...

Sweet, that's awesome!

FYI, a friend showed me this, don't know anything more about it than what's posted. An Alpha Strike demo over at Texas Toy Solider on Sunday.

Well, that's definitely confirmation. I won't be able to make it (got an appointment with an Urbieload of Urbies), but thanks for the heads up!

Got my 4k force pretty much set up for UrbieHunting this weekend. Got 12 BV left over, is it okay if I use that for a single hex of mines?

sevengates · « **Reply #968 on:** 11 January 2020, 03:11:41 »

Okay...

need to recheck my build, anyway; got sick at work Wed., so I was out of it for a bit.

AchanhiArusa · « **Reply #969 on:** 11 January 2020, 15:10:36 »

You too? I got food poisoning Tuesday night.

whistler · « **Reply #970 on:** 11 January 2020, 15:20:04 »

Let me know now if you want me to do the force and print the sheets. I figured you would have dibs but I have ideas. I just need to know by tonight.

sevengates · « **Reply #971 on:** 11 January 2020, 21:08:03 »

Actually food poisoning helped "clean the system"; feeling MUCH better now.

in regards to my force: depending on the combination of Urbie variants I choose, I can add 3 platoons of infantry at 6006bv, or 4 at 6004.

gonna head over to GHQ to see what I can grab.

and R.I.P. Neal Peart (RUSH) :'(

Posted an AAR of this weekend's game.

How do people feel about X-wing this weekend? And if yes, which version?

sevengates · « **Reply #974 on:** 14 January 2020, 03:23:41 »

I have no complaints about the game, it was quite entertaining :thumbsup:; we'll have to run it again sometime.

as for next weekend's game options, I would like to add Alpha Strike.

Weirdo · « **Reply #975 on:** 14 January 2020, 07:55:10 »

I'm up for either, just lemme know ahead of time, please.

Weirdo · « **Reply #976 on:** 15 January 2020, 14:45:38 »

Having thought about it, I'm gonna vote X-wing. What do other people want?

sevengates · « **Reply #977 on:** 16 January 2020, 02:58:30 »

I'll put both sets in the car, then worry about the math.

Weirdo · « **Reply #978 on:** 16 January 2020, 11:38:52 »

Would take way too long for me to do that, so I'll build two forces beforehand.

Refresh my memory, 1.0 is 100 points and 2.0 is 200 points, correct?

Weirdo · « **Reply #979 on:** 16 January 2020, 12:05:13 »

Just remember:

Actually, it took (uhm) less than a week? I ordered last Sat.; got a "shipped" e-mail Tues(?) and received the package yesterday(Fri).

sevengates · « **Reply #984 on:** 19 January 2020, 23:58:51 »

In regards to next week's X-wing game, I have managed to put together a 397pt force. Since I couldn't figure out the "custom" format, I made two "200"pt units: 199 and 198.

Considering the characters used, I want to see how many special abilities I can daisy-chain. ;D

Weirdo · « **Reply #985 on:** 20 January 2020, 16:05:36 »

Death by synergy!

...I think I've been to that seminar.

whistler · « **Reply #986 on:** 22 January 2020, 16:53:30 »

Sounds awesome. Are there any U-Wings in there?

I still like the notion of doing a contested landing setup. Two landing zones, two U-Wings plus escorts. Do a stop maneuver with a U-Wing to score. If a transport gets blasted you can retreat off the map to get more troops. Hell we could even use Battletech maps on the table :P

sevengates · « **Reply #987 on:** 23 January 2020, 03:19:52 »

I currently have 2 U-wings in my set up; I wish there were some "named" Blue Squadron X-wing pilots, not just the generic escort.

Over on Rebelscum.com there is a petition for more recognition (merch) for General Merrick and the Blues. :thumbsup:

sevengates · « **Reply #988 on:** 25 January 2020, 23:04:49 »

I put together a second force for tomorrow's X-wing game: 394pts and less "cheese". (though I kept the special) ;)

Weirdo · « **Reply #989 on:** 29 January 2020, 09:34:29 »

Did we want to do Imperial Assault or Mobile Suit Skirmish this weekend?
