Barca,

I don't think I agree that a pinned unit is a moving unit. I think this would be an excellent question to Phil to be answered in LFTF.

I think you inferring that because a pinned unit uses its moving rate of fire then it is a moving unit. But you can be pinned and not move and stay gone to ground. If being pinned meant that you were being treated as a moving unit then you could not stay gone to ground because you have to stay still and not move to be gone to ground.

I didn't see Phil's email that he takes these questions on but if anyone knows please chime in.

Zeke, a question on hosting a table. I offered to host an eastern front late war table. Do I need to provide forces for both sides or do you just want terrain?

This campaign system looks fun. I never really looked to deeply into the V3 aces campaigns. I plan on making some of these dates. Will it be a problem if someone with limited time does not make all the dates?

Hey Barca,

I'll step up and host some games. Is there a particular month you were thinking in particular?

I think #1 is best. I don't think I could craft a better one 🙂

As soon as I can manage I'm heading over to Geeks and Games to pick the book up and the command cards! Unfortunately the games store in Salem decided not to stock any new FoW items. They are set on selling the mid war stuff they still have on the shelves.

Guy was a pathfinder. Great stories

My opponent is bringing ALL tanks. So that would not be a good measure of how the mission is balanced. I will have to wait for another opportunity to test the air assault mission.

I'm going to try and attempt the airborne mission tomorrow. I'll give feed back. Wish me luck!

I painted up a V3 Fallshirmjager company a couple of years ago and only played them a limited amount so I am really looking forward to fielding them in V4. The Fallshirmjager stug company could be interesting.

NOTE: The recent change in GG store alcohol policy means that minors can participate in this tournament.

I made the decision that 14+ was the appropriate age restriction for appropriate maturity and behavior in this competetive event.

Good news on the store policy. We need to be able to have people who are younger than 21 be able to participate at all of our events.

Thanks for Organizing Barca!

Nm I think I missed your point. These are just for reference. Good links.

This would be to large for flames would it not? I thought 15mm scale was between 1:100 and 1:76 yes?

I can host a table for Flames of War, late war, eastern front.

I'm hoping to get back in to playing more one of these days.  Part of the problem is I have a lot of stuff going on now that's taking the time I'd be spending on Flames of War - my son's a Boy Scout now, and I'm trying to support him.  Also, I've had a run of bad luck with scheduling conflicts for major events.  

I'm still writing and proofreading for Battlefront.  I wrote some of the Oil Wars text, a lot of the new Fate of a Nation text, I'm in the MW German books as well.  

Looking back, though, I miss coming out to play and there being 8, 10, or more players on gaming night or in the playtest group.

I hear you completely. I dont get regular games in at all. I'm more of an event or 1 time scheduled game here and there.

If you ever do want to meet up for a game just let me know and I'll put it on my calendar and drive up to Portland.

I think perception can be very different from reality based on your own experiences. Our group here has been hosting events last year and this year, all of which have been mid war. We have had new players participate. Barca also has a regular demo session which has introduced new players to the game. I have personally had the experience of tutoring a new player in one of these games who had already started collecting but did not have a full force to game with.

It appears to me that you think flames is dead and for you that may be true because you dont play it. All you would need to do is start getting games in. There are plenty of opportunities here to organize and participate. I hope you do because it has been a long time since I played Mike in a game and it was a blast. I dont know if I have had the opportunity to meet brother glacius.

I wont be able to make this event. 

I think defense in general can be boring because you are just sitting there trying to hold. But that is not necessarily true for everyone. Some people prefer to play defensively.

Thx Barca, I had a good time seeing what US airborne can do. They are fairly tough but I think any infantry benefits from having some form of tank support.

I'm working on singly based airborne for Chain of Command so when I get that done I'll be inviting you down for that!

I'll be coming up to the oregon city store!

Reviewing possible accommodations in the area. This far north I can make it but driving back down that night makes for a long day from Salem.

Thank you to all who came out. I hope everyone had a good time trying something a little different.

Feedback is welcome, message me if you'd like to share some.

CITY FIGHT PDF has been updated after play testing and feedback.

Also for those who are kindly bringing a table of terrain. Oregon City Geeks and Games has given the ok for tables to be set up Friday night the 28th so we don't have to set up all tables the morning of the event.

Updated rules on capturing an objective are a help as well as that will stop a game from dragging on.

Attached is the mission that will be used for the city fights for the event. This is intended to be a fair mission for each side and as simple as possible.

Please let me know if you have any questions on how the city fights will work. 

CITY FIGHT.pdf

After discussing their findings (Barca and Phyfor88) on testing out the city fight rules we have decided to just have the city fight tables played with standard rules. In addition we will craft a basic scenario for use on the city fight tables that will be similar to a fair fight mission where attacker/defender are on equal footing. Please stand by for specifics on the mission for the city fight tables.

Thanks to James and Nelson for testing out the city fight rules.
