G Quan said:^^@Mr. Pink - You may change the fleets from game to game.
I think you will come with your Drazi (purple not green) or Psi Police 8)
I know that I can change from Mission to Mission, but my space for the flight is as limited as yours
But when I have to chose from EA (Early & 3rd), PSI, Drazi and Dilgar I´m not certain what to take. But Drazi/PSI are very Intressting choice of yours, wheres the spy who dropped that information

Will try and match up first couple of rounds a mmeber of Gregs Crew marked with (*) to vistors then Swiss Chess format for 3rd and 4th games.
Start same time as Aldershot - 10.30am gives people a chance to get brekkie on the way
Format
10am -10.30am
Sign-in - time to say hi, taunt opponents - make rash statements of victory
10.30am Game 1 (5 pt Skirmish)
Call to Arms - (terrain, no hyperspace), Max 8 ships (10 Drazi)
noon - lunch break
12.30 - 2pm, Game 2 (3 pt Raid, minimum 1 raid ship (or higher PL) )
Rescue - (terrain, no hyperspace), Max 8 ships (10 Drazi)
2.15pm - 3.45pm - Game 3 (2 pt Battle)
Assassination - both players have a target ship - highest PL ship of opponent. (One other ship of their fleet may start in hyperspace, terrain)
Max 8 ships (10 Drazi)
4pm - 5.45pm - Game 4 (3 pt War, must have at least one War(or higher) ship - this ship may not start in hyperspace)
Annihilation (One ship may start in hyperspace, terrain)
Max 10 ships (12 Drazi)
6pm - awards, final taunting and depart
All P+P rules amendments apply with the exception of Centauri Hunting Packs.
Triggy's Beam system in operation
1-2 miss
3-4 hit
5-6 hit and roll again
Fleets and races may be different for each game - just declare at the start of the tourney (and give a list to me).
Likely VP system is the one from Wallsal boys.
Only official ship stats - proxy ships are permissable but make sure oppoents fully aware of what they are at the start. I have a "large" collection of ships let me know if you want to borrow anything.
Looking forward to it

And presumably some clothes.G Quan said:
I also need to stay Saturday night, as there are no trains back to Edinburgh unless I want to leave early and miss the big game. Depending on where you're staying, I may be able to join you - maybe a final Sunday morning battle...
I should have a couple each of Xorrs, Xills, Sunhawks and Warbirds available.

I got a question. What excatctly is Triggys Beam System. Is it one of the Options in P&P (A or B possible, not C cause that would be Burgers System) ?
Serched the forum and got no satisfing result. Maybe I put the wrong quote ?
So pleas enlight me, for I´m not a frequent reader in that forum here. thx

Da Boss said:yes it is in P+P
I can't recall which one but it goes as follows
1-2 miss
3-4 hit
5-6 hit and roll again
It reduces the chances of a total miss or a run away roll and brings it closer to the balance point of beams getting roughtly 1 hit per AD.
Okay thats Option B in P&P. THX
SO maybe my Drazi get a chance of flying to england then hmmm......

It is my right wrist that is broken and i'm right handed. I'm pretty clumsy with my left hand. I'm due back to hospital to haveit looked at on feb 18th, but my wrist is full of metalwork.
May have to use counters, and/or select fleets with just a few ships for ease of play.
