Threejacks Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 Would like to do a Saturday evening again.My preference would be the 30th,but I could do next weekend as well(the 2nd) The only weekend that probably wont work well for GG is the 15th as I think its a MTG prerelease weekend...that and my oldest boy will probably be playing in it either there or at Epic in Milwaukie. We had a nice table setup in the main area last session 4x12 even and the place wasn't too crowded for a Saturday evening. 4x12 table I mean,lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakithe Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 I'll try to come out with the wife. Just to watch for now since we don't have a large force built up...and we have to navigate around our 2yr old lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Saturday evening works really well for me, especially at GG. I'll be there. See you on the 2nd. I think we should start a weekly league, if GG allows it. We could play with reduced space if GG needs more room (free for all on a smaller table....).

Malakithe Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 I live in St. Helens so GG is the closest option for me. I work graveyard so Saturdays are the best days for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill put in a request for a table then:) We will bring 80 wound builds from your latest comp and see how that goes.Try for a 1.5 hr time limit. I can probably do every other Saturday,ill ask them about that next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 Talked to a WE player at GG today. One of those Ordo members that doesn't post. Mentioned the group, might show up. Seemed interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malakithe Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 How did the game go? Insights? Learn some things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threejacks Posted January 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 We made it to the end of turn 2 and there was plenty of carnage table wide by that time lol. The scenario was really not bad at all in terms of gameplay.It could probably use some secondary objectives to spice things up though. Being a four player game,I wanted to see how the base rule victory conditions would fare in this case,those being the "force loss percentage" system. This probably isn't totally accurate but this is what I came up with- Me-61% casualties Colin(my son)-62% casualties Steel Angel-68% casualties Paxmiles-77% casualties Even though the game only lasted for 2 turns before the time limit was met,being a 4 player scenario there was actually a total of 8 combat phases resulting in some very nasty losses on all parties.Also I used the literal translation of models being summoned/added to the game counting as casualties suffered when they come in and I even counted the 4 models I brought in as casualties(after Steel Angel pointed that out) and even still it was a pretty close fight for a 4 player battle. Paxmile took a big hit when his large unit of Chaos Dwarves got wiped out by some Protectors and Steel Angel and Colin both got knocked off the top spots when myself and Pax went after their larger blocks of troops during turn 2. Overall,when these loss percentage victory conditions are in effect,it really favors the more elite armies. Next time we do this kind of scenario we will probably reduce the army sizes by 30% or so and maybe use a couple of realmgates to teleport across the field with:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakithe Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 A wider table might help too. Everyone was in charge range of at least one other person and yes secondary objectives would have helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 A wider table might help too. Everyone was in charge range of at least one other person and yes secondary objectives would have helped We would have ran out of time with a bigger table. As is, we only barely completed 2 rounds.

Malakithe Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Yeah true...I'm thinking a 2v2 would have been a better set up instead of FFA. Deploy on opposite sides and would have probably been a little faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Really not a fan of team battles, as it always seems like one team just works better together than the other team (like Order+Order vs Chaos+Death...). I liked the free for all, but I think a 4'x4' and half size armies would have gone a long way to speeding things up. I also think that mission wasn't very well designed for speed, as it included things like variable turn order per round and such, which just added time to the game.

Malakithe Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Variable turn order per round is in the base rules I thought? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Variable turn order per round is in the base rules I thought? I'd have to check, but with 4 players it didn't seem to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 I'd love to do it again, 5-9:30pm on Saturday. That day and time works very well for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakithe Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Yeah I would probably show up again too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Hey RCNjack. Your son, Collin, he had that Beast that kept healing itself. I thought the model looked odd. He was using a Vargheist model to represent a Vargulf. And easy honest mistake. Vargheists are the new plastic ones and should be a bit smaller. Vargulf is metal/resin and should be on a bit larger base. Anyway, doesn't matter if he want's to continue using it as the other, just wasn't sure if he knew.

Threejacks Posted January 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Yeah I told him he could do that,,actually I was told when I bought them last fall by Tyler,who runs our GW store here in town that a lot of people use the varghiest "Champ" model as a vargulf.Its a bit smaller and on a 40mm square instead of the 50mm. But yeah,waiting for the VC Sigmar stuff to buy the proper model so I can get the oval(or round) base along with it,heh. Actually I bought those 2 years ago when End times came out.

Threejacks Posted January 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Naa..wife works this weekend so I cant really get out on Saturday. And the following weekend is an MTG prerelease event so probably not a good time. I do plan to reserve again on the 30th though:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 That's my plan. I'd love to do it again, 5-9:30pm on Saturday. That day and time works very well for me. Though I've been rather slow this week, so I might just show up and do some painting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
