Brother Glacius Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Count me out unfortunately. None of the painted forces I have will fit in the time frame. Heck, my unassembled forces won't even fit in the time frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barca Posted September 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Sorry 'bout that. Lots of other opportunities coming up after the tourney. - Some discussion among local players on Firestorm Bagration - Berlin Battles (very late war, also) - Pacific War coming from BF - Cold War Gone Hot coming from BF - Mid-war N. Africa -- Thinking about starting a North Africa campaign, if there is enough interest. -- This thread generated some chatter: http://www.ordofanaticus.com/index.php?/topic/25114-want-to-play-mid-war-afrika-games/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Glacius Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 If I can find another challenger at GG, and get off my butt and put together some brit infantry stands, I might be able to roll with the nachtjager list. What is the required level of painting for the event? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taran.shannara Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 TO Ruling: If a player shows up to throw some dice for this tournament and the army isn't painted, meaning if you came with unpainted but properly based/assembled miniatures I'd still let you play in the tournament. It would just hurt the painting score but since this score is independant of the other scores you'd be ok. Our goal is to eventually get it where all people have painted armies but realize we'd rather get players out to play.For "big" convention tournaments, like Enfilade 2016, and another potential one that is in the works, there is a painting requirement but NOT for the tournament on Nov. 14th, 2015.

barca Posted September 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 laz, "penciled" you in the Axis category, since no one else wants to be there, yet. Sorry, I got 2 allied armies and no Axis Germans and Hungarians are in the painting queue, but can't fight their way to the front of the line. Must the the flood of refugees clogging the roads.

SchnellerKarl Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 I'll be there, playing Axis - probably Germans from Desperate Measures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hanaur Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 If i enter twice, I can play two armies at once, correct? One on each table? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barca Posted September 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 LH, Sure.Your options for pulling that off are:1. Cloning yourself (see Multiplicity: www.imdb.com/title/tt0117108/ )2. Get an X-Men power, like Quicksilver.3. Fit your minis with OzoBot, The Robot Game-Piece With a Brain "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aw_qJp6jm8I"4. Something equally awesome as 1-3, above.

Yes, if you played both sides of the same table, we might have some issues when you disagreed with yourself, ... ...or other weird conversations.

taran.shannara Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 I'm thinking chess masters do it for exhibition games.... possibly assign tables next to each other... and it could be pulled off.
