8am Saturday morning I should get the door open.

Sign me up. I'll be there and can bring East Germans T55 tanks. Or 4 hinds. I'm reading over the packet.

Was just getting ready to email everyone but will answer here. All, Yes please, if you desire to bring terrain for a table please do so as it is much appreciated; not required but sure helps. Email me at pdxwar@gmail.com to let me know for sure that you are bringing it. Such as, an entire table worth including grass mat or just terrain. Thanks.

thanks for getting me into a game tonight

Didn't notice this one listed yet. Dark Sword Miniatures - Stephanie Law Masterworks Expansion Ends tomorrow 5pm CST. May 5th. Something like 34 total minis with 18+ character miniatures just in the core set for $110 shipped to the US. Lots of discounted add-ons.

anything along the lines of these painting contests Crystal Brush, or ReaperCon Open Paint Contest or Historicon Painting Contest or Lock and Load would be great too.

No specific list yet but I do have some NVA join the fight. Ready to invade: 15x T-55AM2 2x mi-24 hinds 2x mot-schutzen kompanies In process of adding: 24x BMP-1 or BMP-2 transports (really, is there table space for all these?) 2x mi-24 hinds 4x su-25 frogfoot 10x T-72M

thanks for sharing the interesting reads. Wonder if v3 will have staying power like d&d 3.5/pathfinder whereas v4 is more like d&d 4th and go to v5 sooner than planned.

details added on the official thread here regards, SteveM

I'm in with Japanese. Doesn't matter to me on lunch format.

I received confirmation today that we get the State room again all day for Flames of War tournament. So we can also do Team Yankee (barca?) in Period E which is 7pm til 11pm after the FOW tournament if desired. regards, SteveM.

barca is correct; And info will be posted after format review and space confirmation by convention staff. regards.

I'm looking forward to barca being FOW HOG for OFCC 2017. I'll support you in any capacity. It will be a great event this year. regards, SteveM.

for item #2, this is/was the idea of having FoW at OFCC. It works for the other game systems.

In the past events, we always had unequal numbers on the two teams. The size of the smaller team would dictate the number of scores from the larger team that would count. For example, Team A has 4 players, Team B has 6 players. Only the top four scores on each team counted when the final scores at the end of the event were reviewed. Also since the teams were unequal size, the two bottom players on Team B would end up playing each other. It worked well enough in the past as the team captains made sure the matches were fair for both teams. No one wanted to see a blow out match or charity points. I did always have a problem with the non-equal team sizes and would have preferred fixed team sizes. Smaller fixed team sizes provide a means that other regions could be included in a team challenge event; Like OFCC does with other game systems but maybe it is not doable with the numbers.
