Was talkin' to Sammy. How you feel about War at Sea or Xwing?

I can be at Gen X tomorrow.

...btw....I have been finding discrepancies in the BVs of some elemental suits between the TROs and the MUL; which is correct?

Can you give a specific example?

sevengates · « **Reply #1262 on:** 11 September 2021, 20:54:03 »

The values in RS3058u are higher: (3058u) HMG-415, Flamer-404; (MUL) HMG-308, Flamer-300 ....stuff like that.

With my X-wing gear currently "disorganized" (or unopened), I would like to go with War at Sea please.

I will have my Battletech gear on hand as well.

The nature of the MUL software is that BA figures usually have to default to four-trooper squads. I've put in a request for them to at least put the 5 and 6-suit values in the notes, especially for Clan suits. For now, I'd stick with the values in RS 3058u unless you're running 4-man squads.

Do we have anything planned for this Sunday?

sevengates · « **Reply #1268 on:** 16 September 2021, 01:10:37 »

Nothing yet; last Sunday's War at Sea game went well at 300pts per side.

Weirdo · « **Reply #1269 on:** 16 September 2021, 08:10:02 »

How about Alpha Strike? 400pts?

whistler · « **Reply #1270 on:** 18 September 2021, 00:47:18 »

Depends on how much energy I have after working this weekend. I'll see if I can put together a force in case I can make it.

So I was putting together "Colby's Commandos" from the Intro/AGoAC novella and found a BIG inconsistency. In part one, the unit deploys 2 Locust and 1 Commando; in part two, they use 3 Commandos in a fight (no Locusts). I'm curious as to which arrangement is correct.

btw.... the unit has 8 mechs: BV w/ Locusts 7575pt; BV w/ Commandos 7793pt. I plan on using Durant Carlyle's pilot card and add a couple of specials to other mechs. (though not enough to hit 8000)

I'm working on the Kurita force.

and yes, I just pre-ordered two of the Wolf Dragoons force packs. :thumbsup:

That would be a question for the Ask the Writers forum. :)

Alright, so work is being screwy with our vacations, but I'm gonna show up on the tenth anyway. Are we gonna go ahead and schedule our swap meet for then? I can write up a post and advertise in the usual spots for us. My other question is: grinder? Alpha strike? scenario?what do we want to do? I Also have my heroscape terrain I can bring, or we can use something else, but I figure if we have an open invite, having 3d terrain would make a good impression.

Weirdo · « **Reply #1275 on:** 26 September 2021, 11:27:01 »

Grinder works for me, kinda like how we usually do our Solaris games?

Got a few more thoughts, lemme ponder them a bit and post later.

Psofan89 · « **Reply #1276 on:** 26 September 2021, 18:23:36 »

That’s what I had in mind. Plus we can add some spice with the new initiative deck >:D
I’ll write up a post tonight when I get home from work and post it here for you guys to review.

sevengates · « **Reply #1277 on:** 26 September 2021, 19:06:09 »

We used the "basic" rules for the initiative deck in our Alpha Strike game; made for a fun game. (well for some of us) :D

OOPS .... I did it again .... I picked the latest X-wing releases: the Resistance Y-wing 2-pack and the First Order Squadron set (a reworked Interceptor and 2 FO Bombers)

Psofan89 · « **Reply #1278 on:** 27 September 2021, 00:22:54 »

I'm down. I'll bring a couple sets of units, just in case anyone shows up without sheets. :thumbsup:

Psofan89 · « **Reply #1280 on:** 27 September 2021, 16:39:04 »

Cool. I'll post around the usual places then. I guess I'll bring my Heroscape Terrain. If you guys will bring the trees we used to use, that should be the only other thing we will need.
