  1. Portland Dropzone/Fleet is the name, yep. Decent number of people in the group, just need to pester them. ;)
  2. Cheers! Also, since last message, I've discovered there's a Portland DZC/DFC Facebook group. It's not amazingly hopping, but it's a fair way to nudge folk. ;)
  3. Thanks for the swap! Also, I found those additional rules; they were originally released as experimental, and then made official, hence not being on the errata page. That said, fleet assembly has begun!
  4. Oh! Also, Brett posted in the Facebook group about having time for play tomorrow. If he's not sought you out, nudge him? (unless you're Brett, in which case, don't nudge yourself? ;) )
  5. A lunch-time swap would certainly work. I'm actually currently taking a break to work on house/yard stuffs (we've got some major projects in the offing!), so have some flexibility given enough forewarning. Remind me; which sprues were we trading, like-for-like? Also, a heads-up; Brett in the FB group indicated he had some time free for a game?
  6. bugger! Currently have Sunday slated for some serious yard work, so I won't be free. :/ What's more, I still need to assemble at least one fleet. :x
  7. Thanks to Lyraeus for today's demo/training game! As you'd figure, it ended with rather a few burning ships on my part, and rather few burning ships on his part. ;) Having little experience with BFG and rather more with FOW, the mobility and limited terrain were both a challenge. We'll see how I develop on this front. ;) Cheers!
  8. Hey, Korvre! I get the impression there are players in the area, but it's a bit fragmented at the moment. I've got an old UCM army and an old PHR army that I need to dust off, as I've just moved up from Eugene, get stuck into the scene. Where've you been checking, and where are you thinking to play?
  9. Given the rarity, I'm not inclined to sell the Basilisk. ;) Trading it for a different BC, though... And gotcha on the meta answers!
  10. Alrighty, then! In that case, I'll still have my Basilisk and a Scourge starter kit for trade, and will be looking either for a Leonidas or an Adamant for the BC, and either a Shaltari or PHR starter kit for the Scourge one. And gotcha on the 1250! Can definitely hit that. Lastly, some more meta questions. How useful are the commanders for DFC? And how heavy on drop assets are most players at the 1250 and 900 points values? Are we talking vast hordes of dropships, or a group or two, or...?
  11. Hey, Nick! Interested, indeed! Still need to sort and assemble this all, mind. ;) Whereabouts in Portland are you guys? And didn't know about the Portland Game Store! Awesome! It's a lot easier for me to get to than Guardian, it looks like. As for trades, I'm still sorting through. I'd been planning to keep Scourge, PHR, and UCM, and drop my Shaltari, but if there's noone playing Shaltari I'd happily, say, trade Scourge like-for-like for Shaltari or PHR. I've got the usual Kickstarter stuff for Shaltari and Scourge, along with the Basilisk BC for the Scourge. Meta-wise, how many are there of each faction? And what sorts of points ranges are people usually in? I'm debating how quickly I'll need to fill out with a command deck, battleships, corvettes, etc.
  12. Still active? :3 Just unboxed my pledge stuff, reading the rules, and would love to join you all!
  13. Hm. Anything new in there, or is it just compilation/update of existing material?
  14. Glad it was fun, and sorry I missed it! Ended up doing a lot of hauling-crap-around yesterday, so today was a rest-and-recover day for me. :/
  15. Alright. I can foresee no difficulty. Again, I'll try to be there. (ugh.)
  16. Crraaaaap. Something came up. :/ SOON.
  17. By god, this Thursday I'll make it! We just finished moving up; obviously a lot of work to be done yet, but the models and I are up for the duration. Will bring my LW Germans, but am keen to just hang out, learn Team Yankee stuff, or have a go at it. :3
  18. Sorry about missing it! :( House shenanigans took longer than expected.
  19. Hey, folks! Should be able to make Thursday with LW Germans in tow. Unfortunately, I haven't had time to update my Soviet stuff since my absence.
  20. Cheers, Taran! Zero; will definitely show up, then! Just reviewed my stuff, and I've got plenty of painted LW Germans and Soviets, so will be there with kit in tow. ;) Zeke; awesome! 1420-and-around-there sounds like it's messy enough to promote lists that have to make compromises. Not difficult for my Sicherungs list, but y'know how that is. ;) barca; gotcha on the space! I'm not necessarily going to go hard-core on the idea, but it's easy enough to get some 6x4 plywood, sawhorses, and terrain. I've always loved terrain-dense boards, so the terrain's a high priority either way. :3
  21. Hey, folks! Evan here, a FoW player from Eugene! I dropped off the radar a while ago due to some real-life shenanigans, but am dusting off the minis as I move north. So, questions! What sorts of points and eras do people play at GG Thursday evenings? I dropped off the radar just after the Bulge books, so my collection is LW-dominated, Soviet and German. If I show up unannounced with LW, are odds good on a game? How large is the crowd for the various eras? I could be convinced on a number of them, though the burnt-out formations of the late late late war period are my favorites. I played way too much Sperrverband and Sicherungs back in the day, and am now filling out with Volkssturm, Hitlerjugend, and eyeing those reluctant veteran 1945-pattern Grenadier armies I see. How's the terrain? Anything I should work on? Also, is there any need or want for more space? I'll have a garage and a basement both at the new place, and I'm sure I can bat my eyes at the miss enough to ensure at least four tables if it came down to it. Anywho, looking forward to playing with you all! Cheers, Evan
