We are. Megatron works Sundays, and since Sammy and I have free time during that week we figured 'why not'? This will be an intro game, 400pts per side. Obviously the focus is on teaching the basics. But yeah if you want to join in then by all means :) I'll have all the forces and materials.

As of right now, I'll plan on being there. Never played Alpha Strike. Will update here if something changes.

The 16th? Need any more? I could probably make it if you have room.

Room can be made! Depending on numbers I may sorta GM the game rather than playing on a team. This will be, after all, something of a 'open hand' type game while the new players learn the ropes and I'm sure there will be plenty of questions.

Then I'd say it's a perfect time to learn!

Oh my god GTFO of here with your nonsense.

Weirdo · « **Reply #1416 on:** 10 March 2022, 09:33:54 »

I have no desire to be disruptive. If you want to play a specific game where ECM jamming is not allowed, just let me know beforehand and I won't bring any such units.

Psofan89 · « **Reply #1417 on:** 11 March 2022, 00:42:57 »

Seems legit to me ;D

Savage Coyote · « **Reply #1418 on:** 11 March 2022, 10:13:08 »

Due to gas prices, timing, etc, I can't make anything right now but I was toying with an Alpha Strike force that I have all the figures for. Would need to paint up a bunch but... could be fun? I'd have to figure out how NOVA worked in Alpha Strike and probably drop the Septicimia A-Z for something with more long range punch to make better use of how I imagine it will work but... who knows.

Weirdo · « **Reply #1419 on:** 11 March 2022, 10:36:29 »

Oooh, that looks like a brick and a half to have to chew through...

I really need to get back to painting my Society stuff. Right now my focus is on the Widow's Escort, some Battleforce-scale stuff, and a few unique machines.

Savage Coyote · « **Reply #1420 on:** 11 March 2022, 10:45:25 »

Yeah; the Osteon alone has twenty boxes to go through. I can get a 3050's IS company for the same cost, though most of the disappear if they get close to either Osteon Prime or Septicimia A-Z (their short range damage brackets are like, 10 and 11 respectively haha)

I have an Osteon D, Septicimia B, E, and Cephalus Prime painted. None of the vehicles are though. Be a decent chunk of work. I have an Osteon Prime and Septicima A mod that would need to be painted as well :D

Weirdo · « **Reply #1421 on:** 11 March 2022, 10:50:37 »

All I've got done are a single Cephalus and a handful of Protos so far. Hoping to eventually build it up to a full Sept of mechs and another Sept of conventional stuff.

What kind of scheme are you going for?

Savage Coyote · « **Reply #1422 on:** 11 March 2022, 10:59:30 »

I played with the Osteon D, Septicimia E, and Cephalus years ago. I remember you ran a Marik Dark Ages force, PSOfan ran some sort of Clan force, and Bryan had another Society force with a different line up. I just remember the Osteon needed 0's to hit your Anzu at 20 hexes, and the Septicimia needed 2's. I feel like we used 8k that day cause I had a couple tanks as well :rockon:

Ah, yes. THOSE jerks. ;D

:o New Rammstein album next month out of no where :o might have to make the trip down to San Antonio to go see them this September >:D

Weirdo · « **Reply #1425 on:** 16 March 2022, 08:11:38 »

Any thoughts for this Sunday?

whistler · « **Reply #1426 on:** 17 March 2022, 22:48:10 »

Gaaaas. Lands. GAAAAAAS. Lands. GAAAAAAAAS LAAAANDS.

Psofan89 · « **Reply #1429 on:** 25 March 2022, 13:56:41 »

Hey Dennis, how many urbanmechs would you say you have? Just got done reading Shrapnel #8, and I’ve got an idea for a scenario >:D

sevengates · « **Reply #1430 on:** 26 March 2022, 01:35:15 »

At least 12 metal, 5-7 plastic (new); haven't picked up Shrapnel #8 yet.

I don't know what is happening this Sunday.

whistler · « **Reply #1431 on:** 26 March 2022, 14:53:57 »

Me neither. Not sure if I'll show. Who wants to play?

Roca · « **Reply #1432 on:** 26 March 2022, 20:58:19 »

I can't this Sunday, my wife and I's 25 wedding anniversary, I think she has some plans for me.

sevengates · « **Reply #1433 on:** 26 March 2022, 21:07:26 »

If Sammy is available, I suggest Axis & Allies War at Sea or Aces High (or whatever it's called)

I could also bring The Duke.

AchanhiArusa · « **Reply #1434 on:** 26 March 2022, 23:51:43 »

Oh heck yeah! I'll set an alarm for myself.

sevengates · « **Reply #1435 on:** 27 March 2022, 00:35:56 »

I likes my Buffalos >:D

Weirdo · « **Reply #1436 on:** 30 March 2022, 12:27:48 »

Any ideas/plans for this Sunday? I might have to skip, but until it's confirmed, I'm gonna try to make it.

Psofan89 · « **Reply #1437 on:** 01 April 2022, 14:42:09 »

I’ve gone ahead and requested the 17th off of work. Are people interested in either a large alpha strike game, scenario, or grinder? I’ve got some new maps and terrain I’ve been dying to use >:D

Weirdo · « **Reply #1438 on:** 01 April 2022, 14:59:27 »

I'm in. :thumbsup:

Also, I'll be bringing both a Battletech and an Alpha Strike force this Sunday, we can see what folks want to play.

sevengates · « **Reply #1439 on:** 02 April 2022, 00:54:45 »

I'll be there.
