Tanks, guns, planes and infantry fight it out in the sands of North Africa. As a US Commander, can you restore the honor of the battered Joe's?

Souldier3 Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Barca and I are playtesting for this event in the 9th, this Sat. Down in Salem at Wild things games starting at 12:00. We could use another two playtesters if anyone can come down and help. 71pt lists for testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danimal Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 Hi, I will be there for the event. Playing for axis. I will be bringing my own army, not sure yet if germans or Italians or both. I vote for 85 points, 71 points seemed a bit sparse at enfilade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barca Posted June 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 I also vote for 85 pts. I plan on either Axis Germans, or Allied British. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souldier3 Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 After our session with the crack squad of playtestets consisting of me, Danimal, Barca, and a random homeless person. I agree, 71 points is to sparse for a mega battle scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEKE Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Sure, I can go with 85 points. Nothing wrong with another Platoon of Stuarts to go with my other 5 platoons of Stuarts :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Souldier3 Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 This event will most likely be rescheduled to July 28th and be set at 85 pts level. Can people post and give Barca and I a sense of interest in this event? Are people planning on going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barca Posted June 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Date and location updated in RED and strikethrough. Army lists are now 85 pts. Added to roster: Danimal and ZEKE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souldier3 Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Attached is the Multi table mission PDF that explains how the event will connect several tables under one mission. Please download and read prior to the event. The quick and dirty versions is that two tables will be pushed together to create one large battle zone. The outside tables are standard 6x4 size tables but are connected to the central tables and adjacent tables by entry/exit zones at one table edge. Each table's objectives are worth points for your team and can be scored every turn if you control the objective on your turn and it is uncontested. You can send units to other tables via the entry/exit zones and they will help your team and be under the command of your team member at that table.

Souldier3 Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 We will put you down as being able to play axis team or allied team. Now that we have at least 4 players this event will go forward. If we have only four we will play the central double table. Ad more players confirm we will expand to more tables until we hit the max 12 players. Anyone planning on attending it is a good idea to post your intentions on this page or to email barca at grognard_fow@yahoo.com. People who confirm before hand and sign up will be guaranteed a spot. Those who just show up the day of will go on a waiting list and get a spot after people who have signed up before hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
