Didn't we say 200 pts because 100 pts was too restrictive?

As for the schedule (sorry stuff has happened this week):

5/6  Axis and Allies Miniatures
5/13: Starmada
5/20: Alpha strike
5/27: Naval Command
6/3: Crimson Skies
6/10: X-wing
6/17: Battletech
6/24: Axis and Allies Minis
7/1: Starmada

"Rich Berg once responded to gamers comments about one of his games, "I make this ****** up, so can you.""

"Back in MY day we played Battletech with figures made of LEAD! POISONED LEAD! And the only PAINT we had was RADIOACTIVE! Why, we lost at least THREE or FOUR dear friends every YEAR to BATTLETECH POISONING! But we didn't know any better, and we LIKED IT!
And we rolled DICE for HOURS to play our games! There was none of this plastic clicky nonsense! Our DICE were radioactive TOO! And we had to roll them for hours and hours and hours to track EVERY SINGLE MISSILE! Why, my some of my friends are STILL rolling dice for their last turn when I left Norman THREE YEARS ago! And I don't plan to move back for at least five years and it STILL won't be my turn! But we didn't know any better, and we LIKED IT.

200 points it is, then.

I was just checking, because we haven't played A&A often enough to have formalized a regular point value.

Since a lot of us won't be there this Sunday, are we pushing Starmada back to the 20th, or skipping straight to Alpha Strike?

(I'm good for either.)

Any preferences/requests for the Starmada game, or should I just build something using the fleets of my choice?

Got my Alpha Strike force rest for this weekend.

Four Starmada next weekend, how do people feel about the Neu Swabian League versus the Star League? We could do a standard space brawl, or maybe a planetary assault?

Either sounds good to me. I may have a friend joining us, so it may be best to just do a standard brawl. I plan to field my new Covenant fleet, as I need to test them. If my friend joins us I will be lending him either my UNSC fleet or my SGC fleet.

What point value will we be playing?

Cool, I'll prep something along those lines.

BTW, I am currently preparing to order an Imperial Navy (40k) fleet. Trying to get some conversions done and figure out what ships I want to buy.

Were we all okay with paying point values for better pilots in Alpha Strike? I don't recall.
It's not about winning or losing, no it's all about how many chapters have you added to the rule books after your crazy antics.

I'm okay with it. Keep in mind that like our TW games we usually bump up everybody's skill a level for free, so if you want a 3 pilot you don't need to spend any points, and I guess if you want a 2, spend the points that would normally make them a 3.

Should I let Stina know that your presence is likely on the 27th? :)

Alpha Strike this weekend. If I kept with the flow of chat right.
But yeah, probably going to be just me. I had planned on seeing how a Staterbook force translates into AS.
