Re: Big Game January 17th
Re: Mike's tables -
We currently have 8 committed, plus myself. I expect at least 1 optional to show and so we will probably play 5 on 5.
I was planning on merging 4 of Joels tables into a big map with multiple deployment zones for each side.
If enough peeps show early, then we will adjust. Either adding 2 more for 6 or breaking into 2x4 for 2 large games.
I'm scrapping the roaming monster idea as there will be plenty of models on the table to fight.
What is the final say on points per player? 1000 or 1500?
No duplication of Fortunes/Fates, but one each?

Re: Big Game January 17th
I'm not sure how well using Joels tables will work Bill. I don't know if you've been there recently but he put elevated borders on all the tables. While they look much nicer, it pretty much makes it impossible to put them together. If you want a larger table you would have to put the 2 long card game tables together.
Re: Big Game January 17th
Grrrrrrrrr -
I remember him talking about that now.
I don't know if the 2 long card tables are big enough so let's go with plan B and use your tables Mike.
Sux - cause I didn't want to make you haul them out.
I'll be there at noon to help you bring them in and set them up.

Re: Big Game January 17th
We can fiddle with it to make it work. I also have several folding tables that make a 6x4 if I need to bring them.
I suggest 1000 pts. With this many people it will be big, and with players having a smaller point size, we won't have any many duplicates.
Will post more when I've got more time.
Oh, and Gondor players, Imrail is mine. End of story.

Re: Big Game January 17th
I rather play 1500 points, if someone on a side cant make 1500, then one of his partners could compensate for the difference.
Someone mentioned they had a Minas tirith city ?? it woud lbe cool if he brought it.

Re: Big Game January 17th
1500 points per player - 9k per side. No duplications of EHs or LFs.
1 UNIQUE Fate/Fortunes per player.
We will use a big board, but we also have a limit to space so expect to deploy in stacks. Expect @40% terrain coverage of various types.
Any formations that can't "At the Double" are probably best for defense.
Remeber - 1 artillery formation per player gets to use the ambush rule.
I have assigned everyone to a team, but we may adjust depending on actual attendence.
Plan accordingly.
=====================================================
I'll be in Orlando all next week with limited access to the board.
Thanks in advance to Mike, Dan, and Jerry for use to their tables, terrain, models, etc.
This is shaping up to be a monster of a battle. Looking forward to it next weekend!

Re: Big Game January 17th
I'll be brining all of Jerrys stuff. Feel free to use whatever you like.
BTW... maybe we should only deploy a portion of our models to start and the re-enforce later. Maybe even have strategic objectives points that need to be held to bring out re-enforcements ?

Re: Big Game January 17th
Considering the Epic scale of it, having reinforcements might not be a bad idea. Having so many units out at the is going to look like a train wreck IMO. Then again how insane do you guys want this too be?
I'll go with whatever you guys want, but If we are having a capture and hold scenario, reinforcements would be a great idea I think.

Re: Big Game January 17th

Give you some ideas of what to do and what not to do.

Re: Big Game January 17th
Indeed, though Hard Boyz is 2000 pts, which is gonna be a bit crazy...
I'm down for whatever, because my armies are always tiny. The only other person to make an army smaller then me was when Eddy played his elves, and he actually was smaller then my army.

Re: Big Game January 17th
I plan to design the map so that everything fits and is not packed in.
It will be BIG
If it looks tighter than I expect, we can certainly use the reinforcement idea.

Re: Big Game January 17th
'Ard Boyz will be 1500 points also from my understanding.
Luis there be at least free gay sex provided by Tau King. His is such a A-hole that you can stuff a chair up there.
JerryB
That is incorrect. 'Ard Boys is 2K lists. You can view the documentation on the GW site.
No prizes for the Epic Battle - this is just for fun.

Re: Big Game January 17th
I will drop off the two Minas Tirith castles and two battle matts so you can have 4 x 12 playing area if you want (if you push two table together and layout the matts).
Also I bring all of the Ents, five total. And Eagle...
