In case no one has heard, Red Castle Games has postponed any in-store gaming until at the earliest January of 2022.

Correct, we are looking to find another venue to keep the schedule. Anyone still interested should still join the RCG server and reach out to us or here is fine!

I’ll be there!

is that the normal Red Castle discord chan? or is it for AoS only?

 

It's for the Red Castle Discord server. We have an AoS channel in there. From the server guide you can pick and choose which channels you want to see

Hello,

I've only played the previous edition starter set and am interesting in getting more into AOS. Would this be a good way to get into the game and new edition? I'm happy enough to lose but wouldn't want to drag things down as a new player.

Yeah of course! We're pretty casual players and looking to build the community. We still have time between now and when the league starts so a bunch of us are just painting our armies and getting a few games in to get familiar with the rules. If that's your speed then come join us on Red Castle Games Discord and say hi! https://discord.gg/875RwTZ

AoS Escalation League

Purpose

This league is meant to introduce new and old players to Age of Sigmar 3rd edition. It is meant to be a friendly and inviting environment for people to learn and to cultivate the AoS community. The escalation league will start on September 18th and be held at Red Castle Games. Time TBD.

Schedule

This league will be held over 6 weeks. Matches will be based on a round robin. This will allow everyone a chance to play with one another. There will be an official weekly meetup to play the match. However, if either player can not attend they may set up a day within the allotted week to play their game. Each player will coordinate either through Red Castle Discord or by other means and report the results to the event organizer by the last day of the round.

NOTE: There will be no make-up rounds in this league. All matches must be completed and reported by the Sunday of round end. Players may forfeit matches to have their opponent receive full combat points. If neither player wishes to concede, the match will be considered a tie, with each player receiving one combat point. Any league participant who does not play their match for two rounds in a row will be dropped from the league.

Round One - 600 pts: September 18th

Round Two - 750 pts: September 25th

Round Three - 1000 pts: October 2nd

Round Four - 1000 pts: October 9th

Round Five - 1500 pts: October 16th

Round Six - 1500 pts: October 30th

Scoring

Matches in each round will add to your overall score. Match scoring is as follows:

Win - 3 points

Tie - 1 point

Loss - 0 points

Scenarios

Each round, the scenario to be used for all league games will be published in the Red Castle Discord AoS channel. Rounds One and Two will be played on a 33” x 44” table, while Rounds Three - Six will be played on a 44” x 60” table.

Scenarios are considered to be Matched Play games. Pitched Battle battleplans will be the basis for each scenario.

Armies

Round 1 and 2 no restrictions to army building other than not going above the max points of your army. After round 2 we will adhere to the General Handbook 2021

Does Red Castle have any projected date as to when they will open for in-store play again?

They're hoping a little before September

Yeah, we’re targeting some time in September. It’ll give folks time to get familiar with the new rules. What we’re really waiting for is Red Castle to open up their gaming tables. We’ll probably get regular games going before the Escalation League

Hello everyone!

     With 3rd edition around the corner we have a few things planned to get new and old players together. We are planning an escalation league and paint nights! If you're interested, join us on the Red Castle Games Discord for upcoming details and updates! https://discord.gg/875RwTZ . From there you can choose which channels you'd like to see. We have an Age of Sigmar channel. Come say hi!

Another question, which is the most popular in the community.  TY or FoW? I'm looking at the FoW and it's reeeally tempting too. I'm having some decision paralysis right now. 

awesome! Sounds like everyone is in painting mode!

Hey @Fixxer, are you still doing demos on Vassal? There are a bunch of us interested in seeing it in action. Message me if you're interested! 

Yeah, I have no idea! I'm still trying to figure out which nation to go with. Leaning towards Brits perhaps?

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking of doing. Prep for when the pandemic is over. I was hoping to connect with people here and start getting to know the community a bit.

Awesome, appreciate the info!

I’m thinking of getting back into one of these games but I’ve been out of it so long and not sure how the community is. Can someone tell me which of the two games are the most popular and where are people planning on playing after Covid?

oh cool! Thought the game died. Glad it's coming back!

Ok so no problems on table space or terrain then?

I think we should be good, it's hard to determine how many people will show up each week

I am thinking about coming out tomorrow. Will I have room to play, I may bring 1 or 2 people as well? I heard you had an amazing turn out last time.

Yup, you're all welcome to come!

Oh yeah, it was pretty good. 9 people! It was really cool. I'm finding that we have a good mix of beginners and veterans. Was thinking of splitting the group into veterans and beginners to keep the vets engaged and beginners can go at a slower pace.

@Nathanvoodoo Good to see you last night! If you're looking for more games or want to chat it up with other guys come join us on discord! https://discord.me/redcastlegames. We're planning a paint party for our new toys

I’ll be there tonight- I already have 1000 points of goblins packed up but I’ll scale it back as needed.

Nice! Looking forward to meeting you tonight!

Ah ok, so no restrictions at all sounds good then?

Yup, if we encounter any issues we'll make the adjustments. The main goal is just to meet people, learn the rules, and throw some dice!

Also, we posted the battleplan and other rules on Discord. Should be a good turn out!

I may be able to come tomorrow. But did you decide on army composition at the 500 point level yet? How many heroes and how many battleline etc, thanks.

Yup, we're keeping it open to whatever you want to bring for the first month.

Ugh, so this just became a whole lot harder to attend. My wife has decided to go back to our church's choir, which has their practice on Thursday nights. That gives me caregiver duty for our daughter. So not impossible, but lots of pieces have to fall into place in order for me to make it now. Definitely has moved me into the "unlikely" category.

Not a prob! If you're ever looking for a game just hit us up!

Is your day always going to be Thursdays?

That day is unfortunately always spoken for.

For the escalation league yes. We still have paint nights and sometimes we play random games during the week. Hit us up on discord!

So are the first games classified as Skirmishes and thus the rule for those are followed?

For the two meetings at 500 pts we're going to be using the battleplans from the Pitched Battles minus scenery rules and triumphs. The table size will be modified to 3x4 to get armies to engage quicker. The goal of the first month is to try your new units and get comfortable with the rules.
