Fri Feb 12th, 4 to 11:30 , Firestorm Armada Tourney
Sat Feb 13th, 4:30- Midnight, Planetfall Tourney
If you can make it, please let me know! Mats and terrain help is welcome!
All might be on 4x4s, but we'll scrounge for more space the day of.
Spartan Prize support is in-hand, as well as con prize support (depending on sign ups)
EDIT: Repeating my last post below:
Please signup for ALL THREE rounds for each event. Sorry for any confusion there.
Firestorm Armada Missions will resemble these Adepticon Primer Missions here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2paDUVlWcTKX2xIM2F6b0Rhems/view
Planetfall Missions will either use the pending Adepticon Primer missions (TBD) or will use scenarios similar to the forum posting here:
http://community.spartangames.co.uk/index.php?/topic/12532-planet-fall-in-20-2000pt-planetfall-intro-tournament-1502/
I am not requiring Painting to participate, but there will be Prize Certificates for Best Painted.
Regular prize support will cover Best Sportsmanship, and 3rd through 1st Places!
Plus, if we get decent turn-out, I understand there will be Con Prize support.
If you are bringing mats or terrain, please let me know!

If we get three more players I'll join the Planetfall tournament.
-
I will play as needed, so worst case, we just play a match or 2 and call it good. Ideally, I want the 8 players to make it a real event. But even a 4 Player round robin can be satisfying.
I did have one year where a fair chunk of people hadn't registered for a Warmachine event because they were each waiting to see if more people would sign up. If they'd all just signed up, we'd have had a full event. :-)
-
I think I'll be able to play in your Firstorm event Dale. I'll have to check with the wife.
-
Cool!
Depending who all's going, maybe we can plan some informal games earlier each day too.
-
Okay, I'll sign up for PlanetFall. I see that there are a few events listed. Do I sign up for all of them?

Yeah - I think they effed up and did the event as 3 sessions when I told them it was a 3 round tournament.
-
I plan on making it for the FSA game. Though 11:30 at night is a long trip back home, and almost as long as a drive back to my grandmothers in littleton. How much are the rooms a night? After all as a poor college student I be willing to split the cost with someone, a room that is.
-
I want to say Con rate is $79 a night, but check the site to be sure.
-
Myself and Chris from last year will be there to represent the USN. I can bring a 6x4 and some felt cut outs for terrain and some cruddy planetoids. May have to put in for leave on Friday as 4pm is a little early to pick up my stuff from home and truck back south to the event.
I'm a little confused by the registration on the site. It lists three FSA events, both $3. One is form 1600-1830, Another is 1830-2100. Another from 2130-2330. All say $3. Do we need to register and pay for all three? Is this intentional?
...got some painting to do. Haven't touched FSA since we started playing Kingdom Death. And Fallout 4....that happened.
-
Apologies for the event confusion. I think their site registration guy didn't understand the concept of Tourney rounds, and scheduled the event as three "sessions". Please sign up for all three. But I guess it works out, since they price full 6hr+ events at $10 ;-)

Just a reminder, we need players for both events, especially Planetfall! If you can make it at all, please attend so this can become a regular Con thing!
There are some folks coming down from Wyoming who never get to play new people, so the more variety the better!
-
Dale I will bring my asteroids but they will likely only fill one table.

Hey Dale--I can't make it to the events, I'll only be at the con on Saturday and that only for DW and Halo demos, but can you spread the word to the Wyoming folks about Man Battlestations? Not sure where they are coming from, but Cheyenne isn't that far of a drive from Denver, and if they are in that area we could certainly look at getting together every once in awhile.
Thanks!
-
Will do - I think some are on the boards already. Getting them down for a Denver Meet-up in future shouldn't be too impossible.
I *finally* finished my audiobook, so now I'm catching up on the MBS podcast. Good stuff so far!'
-
Dale,
Looks like I won't be there for either event. If you want any of my terrain and/or mat, let me know and we can figure out a way to get it to you in time for Friday's event.

Bummer :-(
I'll be heading up early Friday afternoon at the latest, likely earlier. Could I swing by your place to grab the stuff then?
(And am I still cool to crash on Friday night?)
-
Finished up the last of the terrain I'm bringing along. I don't have a lot of 3D asteroids (actually, it's a set for Star Wars Armada so it's got some ruined SW ships if that's alright). Plenty of felt templates for throwing down asteroid tokens and a decent number of gas clouds.

Awesome stuff, Don! Thanks for bringing it!
Between my own, the Haven's, and Stephan's, I should have 4 table covers, plus whatever other folks bring. I have my own asteroids, maybe some from the Haven, and a set of terrain from some another local who can't make it.
So adding in your stuff I think we're well covered for Friday night.
Now the trick will be terrain for Planetfall...
-
For Planetfall, I've got my Dropzone Commander ruined city terrain, that should be enough for one table. I have a bunch of other miscellaneous crap to probably make another table. I'll try to show up early and help you set up.
-
Just a quick plug (not trying to hijack the thread)...
I'm running a Dystopian Wars demo from 9 to 12 on Saturday morning, and a Halo demo from 1 to 4 on Saturday afternoon. Both scenarios can accommodate 4 players, and I'm providing all the models for both. Come out and have a look or stop by and say hi if you're interested. I don't know where they'll have me set up, I imagine in the main miniatures room adjacent to the dealers' hall.
-
If I get all my painting done I'll to make that Halo Demo.
-
Accident on northbound I-25 south of catlerock. I suggest an alternate route.

Yeah. That crap always happens on Friday afternoons. Good times.
-
That was a great little event Dale, thanks for hosting. Nice to play with some new folks and really cool to see an event with all painted ships.
I'll be posting a battle report based on the games I played in a little bit.
-
I actually wound up having a great time at the Planetfall Tournament. There were only four players, but I had more fun then most of the other larger tournaments I've attended. Thanks Dale for putting it together.

Wish I could have made it to day 2, but then numbers would have been uneven so I guess it doesn't matter.
I notice the deal that is the Dropzone Commander terrain wins again! I wish more folks were playing that game as well. I just bought the starter set and am about 300 in the hole due to the Dropfleet Commander kickstarter.

More pics!
In a very mixed field, Terrans won out over Relthoza, Dindrenzi, and Sorylians!

Am I missing something on how to apply the coupon codes from the event? Trying to pick up the new FS: Task Force Terran/Dindrezi starter box for myself and Chris through the web store and when I apply the code it errors out saying the codes need to be 13 characters when the codes on the certificates are 6 characters. Do we add the code as a comment on the order and the discount will be applied after checkout or am I just blind to something glaringly obvious?

I just tried a sample order with my Vanguard code in the Spartan webstore, and that worked fine; and definitely not 13 characters.
IM me which code you have, and I'll email Spartan Beth about it.
I seem to recall having this issue once before, but I can't find the email chain...
