Noland

I am bringing some Team Yankee buildings and a blister of SS mortars for prize support. I am sure we will have some other odds and ends donated. for tables, when you find out the need we can cover it all. Collectively we can do 10-12 good layouts.

@Souldier3 If it is of any help, The Tacoma group can do terrain for most of not all the tables. Let us know what your need is and we can make it happen.

Bill Noland Russian sappers (Bagration) Submitted: No Approved: No Terrain? I can dress a table

List submitted, officially throwing my lot in with the Finns

Go Marder: cheaper but very lethal. This will allow more options to field for your list where a Ferdinand is a point suck

Bill Nolad avatar: Noland nationality: can do Brits, prefer Finns list submitted (no) requesting permission to flop to Finns, will submit based on feedback list approved (no) bringing terrain? Can do two tables Registered at Enfilade with ticket

Name: Bill Noland Avatar: “Noland” Nation: British First formation: Not yet List submitted: No List approved: No [CHANGE] Bringing terrain? Heck yeah, 1 table unless more is needed

I will plan to play British Armor

The Tacoma group is getting to a regular size and frequency. I am betting we have 6-10 contenders this year. Any rumors on what this points will look like?

Alas, I will have to pass. The wait was too long and I have extended my anniversary celebration. Please front my seat to the next contender. Thanks for keeping me in the loo though.

Cool. On standby.

I just got the go to play but I hear the slots are full. Any chance I can get a seat or is this event at capacity? If I can play I would be RU Engineers at 85pt i can also set up and dress a couple tables if needed Bill Noland

Will have our crew playing the perimeters this weekend as a test

I will try and get the crew up here to practice on 100’s and let you know what the times are like.

James, If you plan to run a potential 110 points, recommend you do some playtesting. Ed and I did 90 points of pewter and 7 points of cards and closed at 3.0 hours. Another pair ran 100 points all in and ran 3.0 hours. If we want to get people to finish in time, 100+ points might be high forcing a lot of loser brackets. If this is not for a nationals run, I would not worry about the BF point list and go with what you feel will work best. 99% of us are there to have fun and connect. At days end, you are the GM and we will back your call whatever you decide. Bill Noland

James, what are you leaning to for points so we can start running some test matches up here?

100 points of miniatures is doable, people just need to be game focused and banter reduced because time will be tight. Alternative would be to give non-clock time to set the deployment areas and prepare for the match.

I will Support terrain and a mat for a North Africa table.

I have submitted my DAK list.

Not officially speaking for the northern herd but I think you would get a lot of applause on dropping the points and keeping time. The crew that was playing were all experienced gamers that just got bogged down in big slug out matches that took time to play out. Playing to 2:15 was just a bridge too far at 109pts. However, if it stays, we will work with it because we are here to game and have fun. Being the game owner is not easy and you have the challenges of being the decision maker. Respect your decision.

Last questions of the week: when are lists due for review and what is the email we send them to?

Anyone have an extra Italian M14/41 card they would be willing trade or sell?

How many tables do you want us Tacoma folk to set up? Collectively we could do 4-6 reducing the amount of stuff you have to pack up.

After action Review: We ran a six player Enfilade practice today in tacoma at 109 points per player at 2:15 per match. We ran two rotations with the Outcome of 4/6 matches could not be completed in the time allowed; one match finished on the buzzer and one finished in perimeters. Group consensus is that 109 points is too big to finish in 2:15 resulting in a lot of players finishing on losing bracket scores. Option 1: reduce points and keep time Option 2: extend time and keep points Option 3: keep as is; prod your opponent to play as fast as possible.
