In the new rules, the fleet composition rules first call for all players to first agree on Core Force Type (Air, Land, Sea), the Max Points, and Theater of Engagement (primarily Land or Water terrain).
Minimum force requirements still apply. At least one Large or Massive, one Medium, and one Small squadron from the Core Force Type. Attachments don't count towards this minimum.
Percentages have been added. You must have at least 60% of your points allocated towards the Core Force Type. In addition, there are Max percentages for each size category. No more than 60% towards Large and Massive, no more than 60% towards Mediums, and no more than 40% towards Smalls.
Allies are allowed with player agreement, but cannot be more than 40% of the total fleet points. Page 190 of the rule book lists ally options.
You still get 10 free wings of Support Aircraft (Tiny Flyers).

To double-check, this Saturday we're using V2.0 of the rules. How about planning for 1000pts each? I'm bringing Prussians. Dale is bringing FSA. I have loaner French and CoA fleets that I can bring, though I don't have any of the more recent releases for them.
Do we want to plan for any scenarios so it's not just "line up and shoot"? I'd be good with picking something from Hurricane Season.

I'm only free Sat since I have a Baptism to go to on Sunday afternoon. Dale, his friend, and I will be there Sat one way or another.

Yes, I was hoping to play 2.0. I called Collectormania and this Sat is Pathfinder day, so they said it might be cramped, but we should be good to get some tables. They open at 10am and I'm probably going to show up then to grab tables, review rules, make fleets, etc. Dale and a friend of his from TempleCon that's visiting Denver will try to show up early too since they have to cut out to DIA by about 2pm.

I didn't see that bit about placement, good to know.
Did you note the LoS is changed and is now 2-way? Used to be that a big firing model could see over intervening models if the firing model was two sizes larger than the intervening model. Now, that is still true AND a small firing model can see over intervening models so long as the target is 2 sizes larger than the intervening.

I'm good for the 26/27th weekend and Dale has expressed an interest in coming up. I'm open to suggestions for the venue.

I thought I 'd open this discussion to let people compare notes on V2.0. When 1.5 came out I found that there were lots of little aspects of the rules that individually folks had looked over and it wasn't until we'd compared notes that the full set of changes became apparent.
I'll kick it off by noting that Linked Fire now works a lot like Firestorm Armada, but with the distinction that halves round UP. So, now Linking is:
<focus weapon's AD> + <ROUNDUP(sum of all supporting weapons' AD / 2)>

I can't do the 19th since I've got my daughters that weekend, but I could do something 26th/27th if anyone is interested. I haven't played 2.0 yet, but I've been looking over the rules in prep.

DWCO Events / Tacticon 2014
« on: June 04, 2014, 06:21:08 pm »
So, what are everyone's thoughts on going after a Tacticon event? I could probably re-run the War of the Worlds event, but I'm thinking some kind of open play of DW would go over better. We could put together some good terrain tables and just use it as a chance for folks to get to know each other and play against a wide range of fleets.
Thoughts?
