ZEKE Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 A2B2C3D2E1 Potluck on prizes. Entry fee is each person bring a blister of sorts as prizes to be handed out according to rankings.

ZeroMoon17 Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 A1 11am B2 2 rounds, 3 rounds would be fun too C3 Late War D2 1420pts, this way we already have been practicing with these armies in prep from ofcc E2 Barca puts together the match ups F3 I would like the prize to be a starter set for team Yankee, to boost our numbers. But that's just my agenda haha, I would pay up to 15 bucks for two rounds and 20 for three. I1 I'll definitely be available J4 I don't want to play two fair fights, defensive battles or mobile battles. So there should be some sort of mechanic that prevents playing two types of the same mission. L1 I would be up for food before Ill be bringing 1420 pts British Cromwells from nachtjager 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
