I think it's less about what the application looks like and more than I can't really install any software, but thanks for the recommendations - I'll give that Swordmaster guy's reports a read :)

Excel and MSpaint! I'm making these on the clock at work so I don't have a ton of options heh.

I've been posting some battle reports on the 9th Age forums for a bit and figured I'd finally get around to sharing them over here. I started off just doing text based reports under 1.1 and was thinking of trying YouTube reports, but I think I've determined that I'm too bad at getting around to things to do that. Instead, I've settled into making diagrams and have done two 1.2 reports so far. Here is a link to the thread: VC Bloody Battle Blog Enjoy!

I was tempted to bring some Vampires to the party, but with how horrible the rest of the Undead Warband is aside from the Vampire, I couldn't justify it.

I like 3 weeks with a break personally. Here's the list I'm going to try bringing: 130 - Beastmen Chieftain: sword, shield, heavy armor 93 - Centigor: sword, mace 60 - Bestigor: greataxe 58 - Bestigor: sword, mace 51 - Beastmen Shaman: mace, mace 38 - Gor: mace, dagger 38 - Gor: mace, dagger 15 - Warhound of Chaos 15 - Warhound of Chaos TOTAL: 498

I'm gonna fight this guy to get him to play 9th Age with us on Tuesday nights. Bring on them Ogre Khans!

I have a 9th Age game against Sherbert's Orcs.

I got my first game in last night at 4500 and enjoyed it quite a bit. I'm definitely looking forward to some more games! I think the plan we're going to run with up in Bellingham is to try out 4500 for a month or so and assess how it feels and then if it seems too low, we'll go back up to 5000.

It is indeed.

Well 4500 = 2250 x 2 so we're going down a bit in points if we go to 4500, but the idea behind that is to make games move a little more quickly. Personally I'm going to start giving 4500 a go and see how it works out, which I'm thinking will be well. Honestly the only reason that we went from the 7th Edition standard of 2250 to 2500 in 8th Edition was because 25% of 2250 was a decimal and that annoyed people.

The big 1.2 update just got released! It has a lot of changes including all new Paths of Magic, a new miscast table, new categories and rules for Army Organization, and a doubling of everything's points to put the new official standard game size at 4500 points. This came along with another balance update so expect every army to have gotten a good nerf to hopefully bring about some more balance across the board. Check it out and discuss: http://www.the-ninth-age.com/index.php?simple-page/

Daaaamn

I'm assuming you're ditching all of this stuff so you can pick up The 9th Age so I support this decision.

Probably late night tonight considering they're on Europe time.

Yeahhhh I've been reading a lot of people being not terribly happy, but all of the nerfs were pretty universal and aimed at better balance so I'm cool with them. I think the best thing, especially about the new magic, is that the game is getting a lot closer to the point were they'll be able to actually have companies print high quality rule books and sell them in game stores without fear of GW lawyers. I'm going to be playing at 4500 as that's what they're officially putting in the books as the recommend game size so we'll see how that goes. Barring anything crazy I expect that to be what the December tournament will be at.

You can still field those Halflings as Skirmishing Bowmen, they just won't have Quick to Fire or +1 BS like Brigards did, but they'll be cheaper at least! This thread is now the official let Kacy calm your 1.2 fears thread as I have access to the new books :P

I wouldn't put that list away juust yet (check your PMs).

I'm going to be breaking out the 1.2 rules with Scipiano. Playing 4500 points!

I do still have it. I can bring it down to the shop whenever.

I like these reviews!

Update: It's looking like November is booked with Magic stuff so we're now looking at December 3rd. I'm stopping by the shop Sunday to talk to Nathaniel about it.

Ha ha! That works for me!

Jacob, meet Gabe. Play 9th Age together. If either of you need any extra models, I can also volunteer some proxies. I believe I'm playing Jake in our rain check game from last week.

Make that 4 threads with Joey in the title.
