I'll be there. Should we post an announcement about I-Con over on the Conn. thread? Is Ogre going to be there?

I hope things roll your way. I hope that you do not need the surgery.

Hey Gang -

Bad News... a wedding announcement for april fools day from a family member in maryland that I thought was a joke turns out to be real... so I won't be there for the Marik v Wobblie game [metalhealth] [##] [tickedoff] I may not even be there for Icon at all, since my unprintable family wants to make a weekend trip out of it instead of a day trip. Will let you know what will be happening with my Icon game as soon as I know myself.

Ogre, glad to hear from you again, sorry to hear about the rest of circumstances... hope the neck surgery is not neccessary!

So what happened, you get whiplash looking at a cute chick going the other way? [drool] >:D

In all seriousness, though, I sincerely hope things improve for you. If there's anything we can do to help from out here, please let us know.

If you can't make it for the Saturday game, will there be any BT events for Saturday?

shadhawk · « **Reply #218 on:** 22 March 2012, 20:13:25 »

Crash if you will not be at I-Con let Dan know as soon as you can.

on the other end Family is fun >:D.

Hey Guys -

well, as if things weren't screwy enough already... I will be at Icon... because apparently, I wasn't invited to the wedding after all... just mom, dad and sis. >:( [madflame] [metalhealth] [skull] Wtf is that? Anyway, will be there to kill things after all; I just hope I won't be completely unpleasant to be around that weekend.

jimdigris · « **Reply #220 on:** 26 March 2012, 15:56:45 »

Maybe they knew about I-Con and wanted to give you a means of going there instead.

jimdigris · « **Reply #221 on:** 29 March 2012, 15:32:31 »

What time are we starting on Saturday?

jimdigris · « **Reply #222 on:** 03 April 2012, 15:06:01 »

Crash, do you have that information about the gaming store in Mineola?

Crash99c · « **Reply #223 on:** 05 April 2012, 15:11:38 »

Hey Gang -

Sorry I didn't get that info to you sooner, Jim. I haven't checked it out yet, but the link is www.gamerterrain.com

-C

jimdigris · « **Reply #224 on:** 06 April 2012, 06:27:32 »

Thanks, Crash. That's actually 15 minutes from me. How did you find out about this place?

Crash99c · « **Reply #225 on:** 10 April 2012, 22:15:32 »

Hey Gang -

2 things...

First, as to how I got the info on the place Jim, I was setting up the battletech thing at icon on friday and the store's owner walked by. He said "Hey, an old FASA game! Nice to see them, although I was more partial to the Renegade Legion stuff."

To which I replied "REALLY??!! So was I! Still have the RPG book and Prefect at home, but never have anyone to play against..."

So he gave me the info and said drop in and we could play centurion or something a bit.

Haven't had a chance yet; things have been hectic with easter and work and all. Have you gone down and checked the store out yet?

The second thing is that we need to finalize the campaign stuff... like when the first game will be, whether or not we will be using full aero, no aero, or the pseudo aero rules you guys had us use last time, and what the start conditions will be.

jimdigris · « **Reply #226 on:** 11 April 2012, 13:10:01 »

I haven't checked it out yet. I've been sick all week.

shadhawk · « **Reply #227 on:** 15 April 2012, 11:06:30 »

ok I have the next game setup. we have next Sunday 4/22.
I have also setup 5/20 for the next game. I know we want to start the DCMS vs CSR so we need to get some points in order. first are the DCMS going to be on the ground or are CSR going to try for a space intercept?

recon mission
all players get to pick a recon unit from the Inner Sphere faction they like best sorry no WoB they will be the OpFor.

the idea is to recon the site that will be at the other end of the field and get out. you force size will be a lance.

I will have an OpFor that will be the WoB defender.

you will need infantry .... standard infantry that is .... to check out the buildings. the more places you look at the better you score will be. as with all other games so far personal carriers and the infantry in them count as 1 unit. units with beagle probes can scan buildings but will not get as good intel as boots on the ground.

I will have a points system to see who does the best. scan of a building will be 1 point. personal a building for 2 turns will be 4 points. defender unit crippled 1 point, destroyed 2 points. recon unit that gets off home edge 3 points. recon unit destroyed -2 points.

game on

Thanks. O0
Sorry I'm missing this. I was going to suggest a game similar to this.

Crash99c · « **Reply #231 on:** 18 April 2012, 00:16:27 »

Hey guys -

Jim, I hope you feel better soon! Shadhawk, since Jim is under the weather, how do you feel about postponing it for a week so he can play?

Also, when you say standard infantry, does that include BA, or does it mean the buildings are so small the BA can't come play?

As for the campaign, the only way I will do the space intercept is if we play full aero rules, no abstract stuff. IIRC, Jim said h'd like to do CSR as defender, DCMS as drop force, game to start when DCMS units hit ground. If you go back through the thread, we pretty much defined everything, just never got it completely finalized and in one place. Jim, please confirm or deny if my impression is correct.

jimdigris · « **Reply #232 on:** 18 April 2012, 15:29:39 »

I confirm your impression.

shadhawk · « **Reply #233 on:** 18 April 2012, 18:53:01 »

I can not push it back a week .... the next week they have a turny and from what I was told the place will be SRO.

on the infantry bit yes non BA will be able to fir the hall ways. you can have BA as extra fire power/armor >:D.

now for the last part it would be a space battle .... space map and all. full dropship / fighter cat fight.
now I ask do you want this as the droppers will have you attack force and they just may get vaped in space.

jimdigris · « **Reply #234 on:** 21 April 2012, 07:20:33 »

I may be able to come tomorrow. Stay tuned...

jimdigris · « **Reply #235 on:** 21 April 2012, 15:13:47 »

I won't be able to make it after all.

Crash99c · « **Reply #236 on:** 22 April 2012, 03:27:38 »

Hey guys -

I hate to tell you this, shadhawk, but I've come down with something too... so I will not be able to play either.

jimdigris · « **Reply #237 on:** 22 April 2012, 05:43:59 »

Oh, there's a Nor'easter happening today, too. The game today seems cursed. :o :(

shadhawk · « **Reply #238 on:** 22 April 2012, 07:06:25 »

next time ... guys get better

jimdigris · « **Reply #239 on:** 29 April 2012, 07:19:19 »

Crash, I got to that gaming store you mentioned. It doesn't look promising. It smells like the inside of a locker-room. It's pretty small and looks like it's solidly booked during the weekend for card games.
