Sleeping In light Tournament Questions

Important Question

Is P+P going to be out (and distributed) prior to the weekend so people know what to expect / additional ships etc they can field / face? What new rules are likely to bein effect

Esdevium have it on today's list for being in store's next week, but we'll see how true that is.

Matt said he expected the copies to be at the Mongoose office next week when he got back (from GAMA I assumed, though he didn't specify)

Having copies in the office doesn't really help with fleet selection beforehand! Not to mention the need to assemble and paint miniatures (for some people ) and pick a fleet with ships that complement each other. This is made more troublesome with the need to take at least four ships of Raid PL or below and no more than eight in total!

Anyone taking shadows?

No, but it does help with getting them mailed out to people, and what is this painting and assembly of which you speak, such strange customs on this planet :lol:

[Dralafi]

There has to be, seems that people are abit shy with what they're playing, it's ok though. We'll know soon enough.

Blimey - All these questions about the tourney!

Has anyone asked the most important question yet?

Where are we going to get pissed in the evening? :twisted:

 

[Dralafi]

Now that IS an important question.

Who said we have to wait until the evening, why not just get wasted during the games themselves... I've done it during a 40K tourney once and it was great fun. During my final game we both had four pints and we still played most of a Blood Angels vs Guard game in two hours!

 

[KennyBoy]

Right, i'll bring a keg with me then

 

[Digger]

Triggy - Sounds like an excellent idea!

Mines a pint!

I'm currently brewing a half-barrell, it should be ready in the few days before the event...

Well I do need to relabel some NIals as Shials perhaps,.

Couple of thoughts I had today on questions about the tourney rules:

1) Reinforcements

a) It doesn't explicitly state (unless I'm missing it) that only the winning side may send reinforcements, can the loser reinforce their alies as well?
b) Each reinforcer can only send one ship, but there is a 2 ship limit in being sent to eachtable as reinforcements. Is that 2 ships per side or 2 ships total per table? i.e. if Chaos sends reinforcements from 2 tables to the same table does that mean Order can't receive any reinforcements at that table?

2) Fighter detached duty: Can fighters carried in larger ships be sent for detached duty in games where the mother ship is not present, being pade for out of the FAP for that battle as if bought seperately. Obviously they would have the VP value of said seperate purchased flights and be unable to earn XP if this were allowed?

I've already asked that, Matt has clarified that it is 2 ships per side. See the 4th post in this thread

If it follows the campaign rules I think the ship dispatching the fighters also must have the carrier trait?

 

[Burger]

Should also mention that you don't get XP at all this weekend. You get a refit on one surviving ship. So you can't save XP dice to use for rerolls or other duties etc.

 

[MongooseMatt]

And no detaching of fighters anyway

Thanks Burger, apologies for asking a redundant question.

And I knew about XP not being in the campaign pack, but my rules lawyer subprocessor was kicking in :lol:

Thanks Matt for the answer on fighter detached duty, I figured you might say that, hope there aren't too many low value games then.
