It could be an unusual and interesting game.

Hey Matt,
Just something to think about...
Even the MOST compact warrior bugs are about 2"x2", and even with the fanciest of clumping, it's nearly impossible to get more them closer than taking up an average of 1.5"x1.5".
Now for math.... In Sweep and clear, you have 6"x48" deployment zone...
That's enough room for about 128 Warrior bugs if there is open terrain in the entire deployment zone, you have short legged Warriors, AND you pack them in as tight as possible. More likely, you'll have a variety, so let's say 2" is the average amount of room, and now we're down to room for only 72 Warrior bugs. Then take into account some impassable terrain taking up about 10% of the area, and we have room for 65 models, and then throw in a big bug that can be about 4"x8", and we only have room for about 55 models.
I don't know about other bug players, but my army would never fit in this area without having warriors crawling on top of my plasma bug (my main list being about 55 Workers, 10 firefries, bout a dozen hoppers, and a couple big bugs). Even my 1500pt army would have trouble on this board.
I know this is just one tournament, but just some food for thought about that scenario.

Yeah, iyts just that there was just 1. Which isnt a very good tourney is it really? 2 people.
Just make sure you actually get to Mongoose on time
And that you know the way, Great Maker, it's not like they put a map up on the website or anything :lol:

GQ 1) Can taking enough fake damage Cripple a ship?
No.
GQ 2) Do you also take fake crew loss?
No.
GQ 3) If yes to GQ 2, can you be fake Skeleton Crewed?
No.
SA 1) Does Close Blast Doors.... reduce the fake damage?
No.
SA 2) CAF doesn't have any effect does it? (No roll to hit)
Freak Boy.
SA 3) M2S, can you use this to take someone else's fake damage?
Don't see why not.
SA 4) If you can be fake Crippled or fake Skeleton Crewed, can you use Stand Down and Prepare to be Boarded?
See above.
ST 1) Adaptive Armour, GEG, Self Repair. Do they all operate as normal on this fake damage?
You get your normal trait benefits.
ST 2) Dodge and Stealth still provide the same benefits?
You get your normal trait benefits.
ST 3) Flight Computer? (if you can be fake Skeleton Crewed from GQ section above)
And once again.
ST 4) Interceptors? If there is no roll to hit, how do these come into play?
You are still hit, even if you are not rolling. . .
WT 1) AP and Super AP have no effect? (No roll to hit)
If you are not rolling. . .
WT 2) Anti Fighter, presumably counteracts Dodge if Dodge applies?
You get your normal. . . you get the idea.
WT 3) Beam is useless? (No roll to hit, so no reroll for additional hits) Or does Beam bypass Interceptors (If Interceptors apply?)
Yes and yes.
WT 4) E-Mine as notrmal, beating Stealth?
Normal benefits. . .
WT 5) Presumably Gravitic Shifter only counts if used in anger, to use it to turn a ship would constitute a real attack and so the gloves come off?
Normal trait benefits. . .
WT 6) Mini-Beam, still gets AF and non Interceptable?
And again.
WT 7) Precise/Weak now useless due to no Damage Resolution for fake Damage?
And again.
WT 8 ) Slow Loading, since you're not actuall firing can you use these weapons every turn?
And again.
WT 9) Twin Linked presumably now has no effect since no roll to hit?
And again.
>>Sorry but I really think the Scenari ocould use some more explaining.
You are trying to read too much into the scenario. All traits play as normal
No.
GQ 2) Do you also take fake crew loss?
