ACTA Tournament -Saturday 20th Feb 2010

[McKickaha]

Didn't you switch to FA scale hiff? They don't make as good weapons

Some might argue, (not me of course), that on balance, even in FA scale, they are liable to do more damage when used in such a "support / off table artillery role" than when being on the table.

Course not in the same league as the Adira.

ooh i sense a challenge

I'm sure that something could be arranged matey... I don't think we've ever - properly - played against each other. I won't count the encounter in the Earth/Centauri War, when your Amu Mothership failed to help Richard's boys against my Minbari... oh, OK, I will! :twisted: :twisted:

 

[H]

now then.
I have advised the missus, but I need to check if I am on call at work, That said i can "probably" get cover for the day.

but one issue, I have not played S+P, and I'm not sure where my PDF is even, and you know what, after skimming it I have never properly read the rules. and, oh my, my daft daughter is eating a baby wipe...

 

[Burger]

P&P isn't a lot different to standard 2e, really

 

[G Quan]

Where precisely is this house in Northamshire and where is the next airport with Ryan Air base?
Can´t find the house with Microsoft Car Route planer :?

 

[Da Boss]

go here - there is the postcode and maps

http://www.boughtonhouse.org.uk/htm/visiting/visiting.htm

if easier pm me with you email and I 'll send you a map

 

[G Quan]

PM is send.
Will check the way, the cost of the trip and if I may my fleet cases as hand bags at Rayn Air flights - I don´t will give them out of my hands and put them into the cargo room of the airplane. :lol:

 

[Star-Lynx]

hey I'm for it, just need to know date so to find out i'm working or not and if i am book it off. Then get andy on board for lift.

I try to get other warlords interested in it too.

 

[Da Boss]

Excellent news - could be a good sized gathering 8)

 

[H]

question...
does a fleet have to exist all through the tourney. ie my 5 point skirmish, do all those ships have to then be present on my battle and war fleets? I've seen this done before so just checking... oh, and any ship restictions, say for instance stopping me taking 60 odd shokov cutters....

 

[TGT]

do we have a confirmed date yet?

Usually not these days, especially with the 1 war ship restriction, but I guess that's down to Da Boss

any ship restictions, say for instance stopping me taking 60 odd shokov cutters....

Well just the FAP splits... at 5pt skirmish you could take 20 sho'kov, at 2pt battle you could take 20 also, at 3pt War with 1 war level ship you could take 32. And I think you'd get beaten quite heinously in all of those games, those little buggers give away VPs at an astounding rate.

 

[Da Boss]

@ Hiffano - good question - what do people think?

two main options in my view:

1) You have a fleet pool from which you choose your detachment for each scenario.

2) You choose your fleet(and race?) for each game freely.

I kinda like b) maybe with some ISD restrictions again

re date: ok lets go for: Saturday 20th February

I'll have a think about scnearios at lunchtime

 

[H]

I prefer A myself, leads to people having to choose a more balanced fleet knowing some ships will have to appear in 2 or more scenarios. mind you either way, people can easily come unstuck by meeting their nemesis race which is amusing for the player with shadow scouts against whitestars..

 

[Clanger]

I am definately up for that count me in.

 

[Clanger]

I think having choosing different fleets per game with ISD rstrictions each Game.

Also I think an 8 ship limit with the following differences 10 for Drazi (due to Boresight) and 10 for Drakh including carried ships.

mm, so you will always get outsinked against those races, look, my G'Vrahn can never line up it's beam on that enemy warship... ok it can get it's mag gun on it though

Track That Target? :lol:

 

[H]

well i don't know what that means having misplaced my P+P and having skimmed it once, when it came out lol.

and if it involves CQ checks in any way, I will fail!

 

[KennyBoy]

I'm easy with either format... but we can discuss it some more at the club...
