You know, something like: Absolutely one of the best RTS games ever made. Although as much as people were down on DoW II, I really liked that one, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes someone opens as early as 3pm, but usually the 40k crowd is there pretty solid around 5pm (some around 4pm). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beta makes it sound like GW hasn't fleshed it out. My thoughts are about official rules. If it's official for matched play, i'd say go for it. Else, confer with your opponent first? I won't prevent it if both players are ok with it too. Honestly, sounds fluffy and fun to me. Sacrificing movement to shoot extra is not game breaking.

Sacrificing movement to shoot extra is not game breaking. Most faq rules are Beta rules in the first place. They want information and opinions and I would love to be apart of that. If the opponent agrees can we use them for that game? As an Ork player I don't mind them. It's just more of a challenge and dem beekee's need all da help dey Kan get 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think asking first is the right way to handle it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He printed missions for us, so once you get there and an opponent arrives, feel free to start up. You don't have to wait.

Dark Trainer Posted January 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 So I'm considering ending the league at 1500 points rather than 1750. Then also running the tournament at 1500 since it sounds like there's a learning curve for some of the ITC format. By making it 1500 points, i figure some of the complexity is removed and the time to play a game is improved. I would love to hear your thoughts on this one. For the league, I would not care if people played 1500 or 1750. My main focus is to improve the March 9th tournament experience. Do you think 1500 for a tournament is too little? Thoughts?

I personally think we should add ITC elements to games so it's an easier way in. The missions are whatever you want but the base scoring is important to learn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apathy ales Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 The tournament is on a Saturday! Oh no. I totally assumed it would be on a Sunday and I can't make it now. Good grief, I was looking forward to meeting the Tuesday crowd... Well, my unput (which now only kinda matters) is that points don't matter one way or the other, but I like the idea of maybe adding some ITC aspects/elements along the way to get more comfortable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 I think 1,500 is a good size game for ITC and the tournament. As a wargamer of course I want all my toys...but slightly smaller games are just as fun as the big ones, and they don't hurt your brain as much over the course of an entire tournament. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The missions are whatever you want but the base scoring is important to learn I planned to, but I didn't want the league to be all ITC. Also, since I'm actively running 2 leagues (one for a local game store too), it's harder for me to change the mission format earlier. I planned to bring in ITC towards the last 2 missions, maybe last 3. Doing that is probably the best I can do (shy of providing ITC rules page too). That said, sounds like 1500 would be easier all around. I'll plan for 1500 now. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Week 1 (Jan 8th): 500 Week 2 (Jan 15th): 750 Week 3 (Jan 22nd): 1000 Week 4 (Jan 29th): 1000 Week 5 (Feb 5th): 1250 Week 6 (Feb 12th): 1500 Week 7 (Feb 19th): 1500 Week 8 (Feb 26th): 1750 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
