Sherbert

2800pts. If you are ok with using one of the OFCC scenarios that would be great. 

played a couple of games on this the other day after I recovered from my bike crash. Miles you really outdid yourself, it was great to play on and all of the terrain that works for Saga looks fantastic on the board. The pictures really dont do it justice. 

I really need a game of fantasy. Especially after not going last Tuesday.

dont tell me how to live my life!

P.S. I have Pauls money for the tourny.

Ill be playing Empire and my friend is Paul G. I think he will be playing empire as well but im not sure.

ill try and remember to bring cash for tuesday. My friend from Seattle also wants to play but doesnt want to deal with paypal. I will see him after tuesday and give you his money the following tuesday.

can I just give you money or do I need to use paypal?

I got to play against my friend from Seattle who used his Irish yesterday. The Irish are a good mix between the Welsh and a more combat based warband. They have units of 1 called champions that act like mini warlords. At first I thought they would be easy to deal with but the Irish also have several abilities that buff both the champions and warlords making them a real pain in the ass. We played battle at the ford and while I had some good rolling and early successes, I ended up getting bogged down and wasn't able to cause enough early damage. Our warlords did kill each other in a epic fashion on the bridge which is always cool. I think the main reason I lost was because I took a levy unit when we were only playing 5 points. If I had taken another warrior unit I would have had 6 saga dice a turn and a couple more bodies to eat up all his shooting. 

I still think Saga is a good game. It seems to be all about setting up powerful counter punches while taking your opponents strikes on the chin. If your units cant support each other than you are going to lose. Also there are a lot of ways to manipulate the 4 inch push back after winning a combat that can really add to the strategy of the game. 

im looking for some ofcc fantasy practice, any takers?

"shuts eyes and covers ears while falling into the fetal position." cries... cries more... cries lots.

hey Jim, if its not too much trouble could I have two female elf heads? I want to make a couple of shield maidens for Saga.

Saga would be awesome! I really want to try out the dice you gave me and use the jomsvikings.

I would settle for Saga instead of Fantasy, but seriously I need some fantasy.

still looking for practice games for ofcc.

I can't wait for WHFB to finally get allies too

NOOOOO!! YOU FOOL OF A TUKE!

I need a fantasy game for ofcc.

yeah, Im sure Nathaniel would love some sort of event like that. Once im done with work I would love to have some Saga peeps come up to bham and get some games in.

I like the color contrasts and scaling of the shield patterns...it will make the subtle stuff stand out even from across the table.  The red-on-black raven really catches my eye; there are more ornate shields, but that one stands out.

 

You should bring them up to Olympic Cards & Comics this Saturday for Saga Smash I so I can take a closer look!

I would love to come to a Saga event but unfortunately I work on the weekends for the next three weeks. After that classes will start again and I will have a little more flexibility. How often are there Saga events in the area?  

Sherbert will be crushed beneath the inexorable treads (or was it flowers?) of Athel Loren.

 

That is, he's playing Fantasy with me.

try again forest scum, my steam tank will burn down your forests and mash your puny elven bones. Behold the power of industry, bow down to your new lords of war.

I like it so far. 

I am strongly in favor for closed lists, they provide a tactical challenge and can make things more of a mind [big bad swear word] for opponents. There are also several abilities and spells that become useless with open lists. 

The special characters is difficult, I personally really like the idea of no special characters but I have always hated them.

the half points for fleeing units and units below half starting value I think will work. I have heard of tournaments on the east coast doing similar things. 

I demand SAGA! 

I demand more Saga! Come forth puny opponents and face your end!
