Figured I'd start this thread for scheduling smaller games at stores in the Denver area--the other thread is more for planning our larger meetings.
So if you're looking for a game at Crit Castle, Collectormania, Enchanted Grounds, or any of the other game stores in the greater Denver area, go ahead and post here!
-
Looking for a game on Sunday, 25 January, in the Denver area. Dystopian Wars or Firestorm. I could play at Crit Castle or Collectormania.
-
R U going to be at crit tomorrow? If so I may stop by to introduce myself and check out a game. Let me know.
-
Eh, I wasn't planning to go hang out and wait for a game. Crit Castle doesn't carry any Spartan products, so I would assume there are likely few people who game there who know about Firestorm Armada or Dystopian Wars--so I think my chances of a pick-up game are pretty slim. But if you'd like to get together for a game there, I'd be up for that.
Or I can sit home and paint my ever-growing pile of resin. :D
-
If anyone is free this afternoon (Thurs, 1/29) and wants to meet for a game at either Crit Castle or Collectormania, my schedule has just freed up. I'm looking for a Firestorm game since I need to get solid on all the rules before we hit the Con in Feb.
-
Some rules stuff from Tuesday that we couldn't recall without looking up:
1) If a carrier has two squadrons out, and both return after attacks, it can only launch one per turn after that, correct? This proved a major limitation for the RSN carrier.
2) Can you start with SRS Squadrons launched?
3) When doing a full crit with a boarding action, and rollling a D6 on the Precision Strike Crit table, does the "Apply the Crit Effect of X..." top roll also include *another* 2 Hull points lost?
4) Are RB1 coherency effects and rear-arc shot bonuses "all or nothing"? I.e. does the entire squadron have to be in range or arc?
5) How do you measure from multi-peg big ships again? Closest peg?
I still haven't had time to follow up on these, but they're on my mind to get straight.
-
1) If a carrier has two squadrons out, and both return after attacks, it can only launch one per turn after that, correct? This proved a major limitation for the RSN carrier.
A: That's correct, a Carrier may only launch one SRS token (1-6 Wings) per Command segment (see pg 87). Also, if a Carrier becomes Disordered, all of its SRS tokens MUST immediately return to base and the Carrier cannot launch any more SRS tokens until the Disorder is removed.
2) Can you start with SRS Squadrons launched?
A: No, they must deploy embarked on their parent Carrier (see pg 86).
3) When doing a full crit with a boarding action, and rollling a D6 on the Precision Strike Crit table, does the "Apply the Crit Effect of X..." top roll also include *another* 2 Hull points lost?
A: No. Your roll on the Critical Hits table, which includes the HP (depending on which Crit is rolled), and then you roll on the Precision strike table to determine any additional critical hit effects (which don't include additional damage).
4) Are RB1 coherency effects and rear-arc shot bonuses "all or nothing"? I.e. does the entire squadron have to be in range or arc?
A: Yes, they are all or nothing. Look at pages 65 and 66. It states that ALL weapons must qualify for the effect (have the same Coherence effect AND meet the range criteria). Same thing for Vulnerable Sector, ALL ships contributing to the attack must be in the target's Aft arc. NOTE: Impeded LOS is an exception. If one ship in a squadron has impeded LoS to a target, it can contribute AD to the attack, but it must halve its AD before linking with the rest of the squadron.
5) How do you measure from multi-peg big ships again? Closest peg?
A: Correct, you measure from/to the closest peg on a multi-peg model. NOTE: when measuring to a model with no peg or an SRS, you measure to/from the center of the model.
-
Anyone up for a game of Firestorm in Denver this coming Wed (2/4)?
-
I might be able to make Crit Castle on Wednesday, if that's the location you had in mind. Gotta check my work calendar first though--will let you know for sure tomorrow.
-
Looks like I can do Wednesday. And, I should be picking up my Cerberus heavy cruiser tonight. Meet around 5?
-
Lndlbbr,
I will stop by for a bit, not sure I can make 5 though.
Where r u getting the cerberus hvy crzr from? I'd be interested in a couple of spook crzrs. :)
-
Sounds good. Just let me know how many points you want to play. Brdingpty, come by and roll some dice with us.
-
Let's go with 1000 points. I'd like to work the new heavy cruiser in, see how it does.
BrdingPrty, I ordered the Cerberus from Gamer's Haven in Colorado Springs. If you're interested in RSN ships, you might want to wait a few weeks...Spartan is releasing new all-resin sculpts for the RSN at the end of this month. The Spooks and Cerberus got a bit of a hull change as well (and the new versions will be the Shrike and Hellhound respectively, but should have the same stats as the older ships).
Here are the new boxed sets:
http://shop.spartangames.co.uk/SearchResults.asp?Cat=2031
Since I'm playing with Stephan on Wednesday, I won't be able to make it to Crit Castle on Thursday...maybe we can catch a game next week. I'd also be willing to coach you and Captain Rockman thru a game of either Dystopian Wars or Firestorm sometime. He could use my RSN and you could use your Sorylians (I think you said you have Sorylians?).
But yeah, come on by on Wednesday, meet Stephan and see his awesomely-painted Aquans and Oroshan!
-
So wed 2/3, is goin to be at crit castle? Since I have never played a game before, what constitutes a 1000 pt fleet? Should I bring my ships, or just observe? Let me know. Thanks.
-
Bring some stuff if you'd like, or you can borrow some of mine. I'll probably give you command of one of the cruiser squadrons in my fleet. One way or another we'll find a way to get you on the table and rolling some dice!
-
Sounds good.
BTW have you heard from MrkyMrk1970 lately?
-
I could play this week at Crit Castle on either Tuesday or Wednesday. Captain Rockman, Warhawk, BrdgingPrty, I'd be happy to run you all through a game of Dystopian Wars. I have plenty of models for us to split up and use for a 2-faction game (probably French against FSA again, as they are two easy factions to teach). We would need to get started around 5 or 5:15, since Crit Castle closes at 8. Reply here if you're interested!
-
Hey, I'm up for meeting if you'll have me! Wed works better for me.
-
That would be great Mark. Which of those two days would work better for you? We could get two games going, which would be good, because Captain Rockman and BrdingPrty are both still getting their feet wet (no pun intended).
-
I am hoping to make it wednesday if you guys give it a whirl that day. And maybe give the game a try.
-
Wednesday works a bit better for me.
Hope to see you there Warhawk!
-
Ok then, let's go for Wednesday the 11th. I'll be there around 5 or a little before. I'll bring my American and French Dystopian fleets. Captain Rockman and BrdingPrty, come out and join us if you can!
-
sounds good. should be there about 5 traffic being forgiving of course.
-
I'm down for Wednesday! I can make it by 5 no problem. I will bring my Russians. Want me to plan on a certain points value?
-
Warhawk, good to go.
Captain Rockman, build an 800-point fleet with naval/air units if you can, or get as close to that as possible. I'll bring 800-point fleets for the Americans and French, incorporating naval and air units. Also, make sure to bring the rules for the Russians--they should be available to download or print for free from Spartan's Resources page.
http://www.spartangames.co.uk/resources/downloads
Let's aim to be rolling dice and moving ships by about 1715, so we have time to get a few turns in.
Also, for both of you, bring your own dice and tape measures if you have them--I can help with this if need be.
-
I'll schelp something, or a few somethings, not sure what.
-
I only have one air squadron so far, but I will include it in my list. See you tomorrow.
-
Greetings everyone,
Thanks for the game tonight markymark. The exploding dice were with me, but you hit three models with one particle cannon!
So, I didn't think I would be able to get away from my mother-in-law this weekend, but it turns out I will have about 3 hours from 12-3 on Saturday. Will anyone be available for a game at the con?
-
I'll be in an ACW game at that time, and I likely won't stick around after the game is over (around 1 on the schedule).
-
Thanks for the game today. Definitly going to be bulking up the fleet to play more and bigger games.
-
Warhawk, you're quite welcome. Sorry about toasting your cruiser squadron with my Heat Lancettes, but I think your battleship avenged their deaths quite nicely. From a teaching perspective, I'm actually glad that we had at least one magazine explosion crit, so you could see how that worked. Next time we play, we'll work in SAWs/SASs so you can see how those work.
Drop a note here next time you're available to play!
-
Yea its all good. While reading through the rule book noticed i did the particle cannon wrong as it does hit everything in a line so prolly would have changed things a little bit. BUT thats what learning is for. Ordered some more models already so will be able to field some differnt stuff like flyers and carriers and such. Will be back again prolly the 4th at crit and then that weekend down in the springs if anyone is down there for that.
-
The 4th would probably work for me, I'll know as we get closer. Looking forward to taking on more of the Covenant!
-
Am planning to be at Crit Castle on Wednesday, 18 February, for some Dystopian Wars. I'll bring a couple 800-900 point fleets. Anyone interested, come on by! Obviously willing to run teaching games. Planning to be set up around 1715. Reply here if you're interested, or come on by!
-
I should be there with a Russian list, and maybe a PLC Naval list too!
I will let you know if I can't make it by tomorrow.
-
I can definitely make it. See you there!
-
I may be able to be there will see tho.
-
Warhawk,
Before the forums were restored, I had said I could make it to Crit Castle on the 4th of March. Something came up, so I won't make it that day.
Sorry dude
-
All good man. Anyone able to make it out to crit or collector tomorrow evening at all?
-
I think I could make it! Wanna fumble through a game?
I am actually off work tomorrow, so I don't have any time restrictions.
-
I am all for funbling through a game. Ill pm you my number then i can let you know as i get back into town from good ol wyoming haha.
-
Sounds good!
-
Just reading thru the past posts and wanted to see if anyone was going to Crit on Wednesday
-
Darknight
Sadly I won't make it down this Wednesday. I definitely will try for next week.
Landlubber and I are going to try for a game tomorrow at Crit Castle starting around 4. We will see if the weather cooperates.
-
Just reading thru the past posts and wanted to see if anyone was going to Crit on Wednesday
DarkKnight, I can be at Crit Castle on Wednesday. Captain Rockman and I had to cancel our plans for tomorrow night due to the weather. The store closes at 8 pm on Wednesday nights, so it's best if we can get there and start rolling dice by about 5:15. I assume Dystopian Wars? Not sure how many points you have, but let's aim for about 800, naval and air. 800 points is about right for us to get through a few turns before the store closes. Let me know if that works for you.
-
Wow that is an early.close time. I don't get off work until 5:30. So that will probably not give us a whole lot of time. Would a Friday at collector be better as they are open until 10 I believe at that time. Maybe a few more might be able to meet being the end of the week?
-
Sorry guys, I'd be there Wednesday but got to run one of the K9 kids to the vet in the afternoon.
-

Yeah, not sure what the story is there with their early close time. I can't do Collectormania during the week, it's just a bridge too far due to the store location and where I work. I can make Collectormania on the weekends, though.
Mark, no worries, I understand about vet trips.
Actually, now that I think about it, I might not be able to make it on Wednesday either--work meeting I forgot about. Will post here tomorrow after I look at my work schedule.
-
Darn real world getting in the way. I will also see if there is some way to squeeze out early Weds
-
DarkKnight, can't make it tomorrow night. Very sorry. Maybe next week, or on a weekend sometime if that works better for you.
-
Don't worry about it
-
Hey yall. Would anyone be available friday for a game of dw or fsa prolly at crit?
-
Would love to, but I'm out of town and won't be available until next week.
-
All good landlubber. Hopefully in the near future ill be aroind more often to get in games on a more regular basis
-
I would definitely be down, but I have been sick all week. I could probably play next Tuesday or Wednesday before the big game on the 21st.
-

Back in town now. Next week would work, I could do Tuesday or Wednesday, preferably Tuesday, at Crit Castle. As usually, need to start rolling dice by about 1715 due to their closing time. Would be nice to warm up my ships before the brawl on the 21st. ;)
-
Greg and I are meeting at Crit Castle today to try out the B5 rules if anyone is interested in stopping by to contribute and roll some dice.
-
So now that youre back in town landlubber you able to do a game or anyone. Tomorrow (friday) afternoon.
-

Sorry Warhawk, can't make it tonight. I'm typically in the Springs at the end of the week, which is where I am now, so gaming at Crit Castle isn't usually possible for me on Thursdays or Fridays (although I was there with Stephan last night, but that was due to a work event that kept me at the airport yesterday).
I can do Crit Castle next week on Tuesday or Wednesday, however.
-
Landlubber,
I won't make it early next week. I will be in the Springs on Tuesday and will have a game with Quickdraw. I will take Wednesday through Friday to paint up my fleet for Saturday.
-

No worry Rockman.
It actually looks like Wednesday is going to be a better day for me. So: I'll be at Crit Castle on Wednesday, 18 March, hopefully around 1630 (that's 4:30 pm for all you non-24-clock folks). I can play Dystopian Wars, X-Wing, or Firestorm Armada, but I would prefer Dystopian Wars. Happy to do a teaching game and provide fleets if needed.
-
Just tossing this out one more time. I'll be at Crit Castle tomorrow evening from about 4:45 until 8 pm. Since I haven't heard back from anyone, I'm going to bring a couple DW fleets, around 800 points. Come out and play if you can, bring your own 800 point fleet (or as close to 800 as you can) or use one of mine.
-
Anyone up for a game this Wed or Thursday at Crit Castle or Collectormania? I've got some meetings that might run past 5pm both days, but hopefully not by much. I can bring Prussians, French, or Covenant.
-
Stephan,
I can meet one of those days (still waiting to find out which one will work). I can bring Russian Naval core with PLC fliers, or just PLC. I would prefer Collectormania.
-
I can do Collectormania. Might be closer to 6 by the time I could get there, but Collectormania is open til 9 so that works. Anything you'd prefer to face on my side?
-
Ok, I'm going to have to go tentative for a game on Wed. They just changed our meeting schedules for Wed and added one from 5:30 to 6:30. It could easily change again, so I'll let you know tomorrow if Wed looks more like a yes or a no, but if you get an opportunity to play someone else, please feel free to take it.
-
Let me know what day you guys end up with as I would not mind coming and watching one to get back into the game
-
Stephen,
I am up for either night, but it sounds like Thursday is a more sure thing for you. Want to just plan on that? I wouldn't mind playing against some Prussian Naval core. I have yet to see them on the table. Do you mind if I use a mixed force (RC naval core with some PLC air support)? Also, thoughts on points?
-
Ok, lets shoot for Thursday at 5:30 at Collectormania.
-
How many points are you guys doing?
-
DarkKnight,
I figure 800 to 1000. I would be alright with you jumping in on either side if you like (and Stephan doesn't mind).
-
I'm good with it, especially if my schedule is iffy.
-
DarkKnight,
If interested, which force would you be bringing? Danes?
-
I would bring Danes, being a restart on the game I think it would be good to have a mix Prussian/Dane force so Stephen and help me thru it. I have been re-reading the rules to familiarize myself again but whatever you guys want to do I don't want to just invite myself in your guys game.
-
No worries dude. I say let's go for it.
I will bring 1000 pts of Russian Naval Core with some PLC support. Why don't you bring up to 1000 pts of Danes in case Stephan can't make it. We can always downgrade the pts when we get there. I will pm both of you with my contact info in case anyone can't make it.
-
I'm still planning to be there by 5:30. I've got my Prussians, but could swing by the house and get my Covenant if you'd like to see those on the table.
-
I have built a fleet with the Prussians/Danes in mind, but by all means go for Covenant if you prefer. I may switch my list up a bit though.
I put together 1000 pts. Does that work?
-
I'll stick to Prussians then.
-
Glory to the Imperial Bond!
-
You know the Imperial Bond are the bad guys right?
;D
-
I'll definitely be there about 5:30-ish depending on traffic.
-
You know the Imperial Bond are the bad guys right?
;D
Says the Russians who are trying to invade our soveregn waters.
-
Thanks for the game last night guys, it was a lot of fun! I always like seeing new stuff on the table, and I now have a new respect for Danish mines, PLC Heavy Flamethrowers, and that damned Iceberg generator!
-
I had a great time. Looking forward to the next game!
-
It was a fun game, I was figuring each side sunk about 250 points worth but I could totally see next turn having a couple ships prized and nearly everything except the dreadnaughts being at the bottom of the North Sea.
-
Yeah. Turn four may have felt a little more final. I wanted to see those Danish cruisers burn to the bottom of the sea.
-
Rather dark, but it would of probably happened. I think I would of lost the gunships but your dreadnaught was in trouble as well so it would of been interesting. All and all fun game.
-
Yeah. I don't think I was winning by any means. I was just happy to finally see some PLC units put out raging fire tokens like they are supposed to. It makes it pretty theatrical.
-
I know this is short notice, but I'm looking to play some DW on Tuesday or Wednesday this week at Crit Castle. Tuesday is the preferred night, but I can do either.
-
Lndlbbr,
I can make it. What time Tuesday, 5:30?
-
Would any of you fine Denver folks want to meet me halfway at Collectormania on April 10th or 11th?
-
Lndlbbr,
I can make it. What time Tuesday, 5:30?
Cool. 5:30 is a little late, since the store closes at 8:00. I can be there as early as 4:30. Let me know if that works for you.
I'm assuming you still don't have a DW fleet, right? If you do have one, bring an 800-900 point force. If not, I'll bring one for you, no worries. If possible, try to bring your own dice and tape measure! :D
-
Lndlbbr,
Tired of me jacking your dice and tape? ;) I can do 5pm if that's better. I still only have the FSA Aerial Group.
-
Lndlbbr,

Ha! No, I just feel bad because I always hog the tape measure. >:( I'll bring some FSA surface ships to go along with your airships.
5:00 tomorrow works for me. See you then!
-
Quickdraw,
I should be able to make it on the 10th. I will double check my schedule and let you know for sure in the next couple days.
-
I figure it would be good to give plenty of notice. Let me know if you can make. I'm open to the morning, afternoon, or all day.
-
Quickdraw,
I am off that day and my wife works in the morning an afternoon. I say let's get started when they open.
-
Sounds good. I'll put it on the calendar.
-
Looking for opponents for a game of either Dystopian Wars or Firestorm Armada at Crit Castle on Tuesday, 7 April. I can be there around 4:30 in the afternoon. Willing to do a teaching game, but I only have one fleet for Firestorm, so you'll have to bring your own spaceships if that's what you want to play.
Reply here if you can make it!
-
Captainrockman:
My work schedule changed on me this week and I'm no longer free on the 10th. Any possibility of doing the 11th?
-
Quickdraw,
I am planning on playing at Gamers Haven on the 11th. I am not positive if there will be tables for DW, but I know there will be lots of gaming because it is International Tabletop Day. Do you want to try to find a time to play there?
-
Sorry, I got myself real backwards when my schedule changed.
I'll be at Gamers Haven on the 11th as well
I'm planning on sitting down for some Firefly. I haven't looked at the schedule for the day but I doubt they'll have a lot of open tables.
We'll have to push it to another weekend I suppose.
-
Anyone up for a game this Wed after work at Crit Castle?
-
Stephan,
FSA or DW? I would prefer FSA. I can be there.
Gregg, can you make Wed?
-
I can do FSA. What fleet are you bringing? Any points preference?
-
Landlubber,
I can meet you tomorrow for some DW. I can be there by 5 at the latest and maybe a bit earlier.
Interested in trying some advance or flank forces? I haven't read the rules for it more than once, and I don't know how familiar you are with it. But, it could be fun to try it out.
Thoughts on points?
-

Captain Rockman-
I can actually be there between 4 and 4:30, I think. Could you swing that? We'd have a little more time to play.
Sure, we can give advanced/flanking forces a go. I think we need to have a higher point total to do that, though. "Strategic forces", which are made up of flanking, reserves, and advanced forces, cannot contain more than 40% of the total MFV, and cannot contain any large or massive models. So, let's go with 1000 points, core naval (aerial models are fine, but not required), and we can work through the advanced and flanking rules.
Cool?
-
Landlubber,
I agree to the terms of battle.
I think the earliest my boss will let me out of work is 3:30. That means I could make it over to Crit Castle by 4:30 if I get lucky in traffic. I'll let you know when I leave work.

Excellent.
To keep things interesting, and to add a "fog of war" element, let's keep our force compositions secret until they're on the board. I'm not going to tell you what I'm running in my main and strategic forces; indeed, I'm not going to tell you if I'm even going to have strategic forces. And I don't want to know those details for your fleet either. We can still go through the normal game setup in the rulebook, and we can deploy our forces on the board when they should be deployed, if you have them (so for example, we'll both still roll for flanking forces whether or not we have them, just to keep the other player guessing). I trust that you'll adhere to the force-building rules, and that any mistakes made are honest mistakes, as long as you trust the same of me.
I think this will add a little excitement to the game, not knowing what the other player is going to deploy.
If this sounds good to you, that is.
-
Landlubber,
Sounds great!
-
Landlubber,
Sounds great!
Good to go! I'll let you know when I'm on my way as well.
-
So I am thinking we should start talking about next Sunday and see who all is coming and the points we are going to do.

Agreed! So for the "big group" games, we coordinate using this thread:
http://www.manbattlestations.com/forum/index.php?topic=583.msg5027;boardseen#new
I'll get the discussion going.
-
Anyone up for a game tomorrow the 25th of dw or fsa?
-
Hey Warhawk, was just wondering if you were still around.
I can't play this weekend, but I might be able to play at Crit Castle on Tuesday (28 April). Let me know if that would work for you. I'd be up for either Firestorm or Dystopian as well.
-
Hey landlubber. work has been a pain. And sadly will be outta town again tuesday. But here after next week ill be around to play much more.
-
I'll be in the Springs on Wed this week if anyone is interested in a game.
-
I'm dying for some more Planetfall, but I'm committed to Thurs Warmachine this week. :-(
-
Stephan I'm available for a game Wednesday if you haven't scheduled anything.
-
I was able to set something up with Forrest, but thanks!
-
I need to double-check with my social coordinator, but I thought u I'd test the waters to see if anyone might be available for a game on Sunday. Any takers?
-

Possible for me. I think I've shaken this cold enough to the point where I'm no longer contagious. But I must check with my social coordinator as well. What did you have in mind to play?
-
Tis the season for Dystopian Wars!
-
I think Sunday will work. The wife is buried in homework/end of semester assignments, said she'd be happy to have me out of the house. I'd prefer Collectormania, if that would work for you.
-
I know it is last minute, but is anyone up for a game at Crit Castle or Collectormania this week?
I have Friday off, so that would be ideal. But I am happy to meet Tuesday through Thursday in the evenings too.

Hey Captain Rockman-
BrdingPrty1 (Dan) and I are meeting at Crit Castle on Wednesday (20 May) around 4:30 for some Firestorm Armada. He's still learning how to play, and I know you aren't into Firestorm yet (I think that's correct, yes?), but if you wanted to show up you could play my fleet against Dan and I could coach the both of you.
Just an idea.
-
Good Idea Gregg.
Stephan R U available?
-
Thanks for the offer, but I want to stick with DW for a bit.
-
BrdingPrty1 and I will be at Crit Castle tomorrow evening for a little RSN vs Sorylian action. Planning to get started around 4:30. Anyone who wants to come out and watch or play is welcome!
-
Anybody free for a game this afternoon? I'm free starting about 4 and can meet at either Crit Castle or Collectormania.
-
Anyone up for a game this Thursday, 8/13?
-
Beginning next week, my wife will be working Wednesday evenings, so I'll be available for gaming in Denver those nights if anyone is interested.
-
I'm going to be free most Wed evenings for the foreseeable future if anyone is interested in a game after work some time.
-
For Wednesdays, where would your preferred venue(s) be Stephan?
-
I'll be in the Springs this Thursday due to a meeting for work, but normally I could do Collectirmania or possibly even Enchanted Grounds. I'm open to suggestions however. We could even play at my place if that works better.

Stephan and Mark and anyone else out there in Denver land,
Wednesday evenings work pretty well for me too. I live 10 blocks from the Enchanted Grounds on Bowles in Littleton. So, that is an ideal location for me. But, Collectormania works fine too. Honestly, I can make almost any night work at Enchanted Grounds. Landlubber and I played there a couple weeks ago and it is a great venue.
I'm still just playing DW and want to keep it that way for now.
Let me know if you want to get a game in. I'm especially free in November and December because my wife works in retail.
Also, Stephan, I still have your FA books with all the lore and pictures. I'll bring them next time we play together.
-
It'll probably be two weeks before I can get in a game. My wife also works retail, so I'm thinking I'll have more game time as well.
-
I should have more time as well here, probably starting in Nov.
-
For Wednesdays, where would your preferred venue(s) be Stephan?
MARK, DIG OUT YOUR SHIPS SO WE CAN PLAY SOON
Seriously, why didn't you pack your minis in the last box that went in the truck?????
-
Looks like the wife will be working tomorrow (11/29) if anyone is interested in a game of something.
-
Anyone up for a game Wed or Thur this week? I may not be able to get to the game until 7 on Thurs, but I could get to a game around 5:30 on Wed.
-
Stephan. I could probably make either day. Enchanted Grounds closes at 10. So Thursday may be a shorter game.
Do you have a preference?
-
I'm good with Wed. I assume DW? How many points?
-
Let's do DW. Naval Core. 1000 pts?
-
Sounds good. I should be out of here by 4:30 tomorrow. Not sure how long the drive will be at that time of day. Which Enchanted Grounds did you want to play at?
-
The one on Bowles is very close to my place. But, Highlands Ranch is close too. Whichever one is closest for you works for me.
Am I going to have to face that giant PE Dread-bot?
-
Nah, he's an armored model, so I'd have to take a full Naval core and then try to fit him in.
During that time of day, it'll probably be quicker for me to get to the one on S Colorado.
-
alright sounds good.
-
Well Dang.
I won't be able to make it tomorrow after all. My wife has to go to the doctor tomorrow after work and we only have one car.
This just came up.
Sorry Stephan.
-
No worries, I'll catch you another time. I hope your wife is ok.
-
Hello. Thanks to Landlubber for directing me to this site. Is there a day in December anyone in Denver or Colorado Springs would like to play Planetfall? I live in Littleton and just bought my first Sorylian core box.
Thanks.
-
Hey Zorper, glad you found us! I myself am not a Planetfall player, but there are some on this site.
In the meantime, if you'd like, head over to the Roll Call thread and introduce yourself--what you play, how long you've been playing, any games you're interested in trying, where it's convenient for you to play (I'm guessing Enchanted Grounds if you live in Littleton).
Welcome aboard!
-
Zorper,
I don't play Planetfall yet. Although I think it looks really cool. I do live in Littleton though! So, if you want to try some Dystopian Wars sometime I have plenty of ships to show you what its all about.
I live really close to Enchanted Grounds on Bowles and could meet there most evenings.
-

I'm available on the 12th in the Springs at Gamer's Haven.

I would like to ty out Dystopian Wars. Some Thursday-Sunday evening at EG on Bowles would work for me. I do not have any of the models.
-
I'm available on the 12th in the Springs at Gamer's Haven.
I'll be heading down there to Gamer's Haven about 6:30 on the 12th so maybe I'll see you there. Thanks.
-
Well, Zorper had his first shot at destroying me in Dystopian Wars tonight. And he succeeded!
We played with my ships, RC (Zorper) against my PLC. About 650 points apiece. In turn three he scored a magazine explosion on one of my Podaga cruisers which ended up taking out the rest of the already damaged squadron; and putting some hurt on a gunship as well.
He learned the hard way that 10 conscripts will have a hard time against 6 elite crew when our battleships got close enough for boarding (at least he didn't shoot me). But, with a hard pounding critical effect to lower the crew down to 3 elite (from some heavy frigates), followed by another boarding from 3 cruisers (20 conscripts) he was able to prize my battleship and take the game.
Zorper joins the long list of commodores to wallop me in Dystopian Wars. A fitting welcome to the hobby!
-
Thanks for the demo, and for taking it easy on me. I'm having Enchanted Grounds try to order the Antartican naval battle group and the air support group. Hopefully they can get those in and I can start in January.
-
It was a pleasure.
Let me know if they are able to order those in.
-
Got my Antarctica naval battle group and air support in. I'll see if I can get them glued together by tomorrow.
-
I'm free Thurs evening this week if anyone is interested in a game.
-
Most Thursdays I can meet. But unfortunately it turns out that I have kid duty this week on Thursday. :(
-
Stephan.
I can play DW. Enchanted grounds?
-
I should be able to do that. The EG on S Colorado? 1000 pts?
-
either EG. 1000 pts works for me.
-
When can you make it there Stephan?
-
I'm taking the day off on New Years Eve and the wife has to work so I wanted to see if anyone would be up for a game or two. I got X-wing for Christmas so I'm interested in trying that out as well any DW/Firestorm/Planetfall anyone may want to play.
-
If I can get out of this New Mexico blizzard I am up for a game of PlanetFall on the 31st.
-
Ok. Let me know as your situation develops.
-
Hello Stephan,
I survived the snow and can meet for a game on the 31st. Where and when do you want to meet?
I bought several new Sorylian boxes, so I can do a bigger game if you want. I'll still be slow, but I am catching on.
-
How about 1 at Collectormania?
-
Sounds good. How many points? I think I can do 3000+ now if we want.
-
Lets do 2500 since that's apparently what the Adepticon tourney will be.
-
2500 it is. See you tomorrow at 1 at Collectormania.
-
I'm looking for a game of Firestorm this Thurs to try out the Adepticon primer scenarios. Fleet lists are 1000pts and a link to the scenarios is under the Adepticon 2016 thread.
-
I'm probably going to hit Collectormania after work tomorrow for X-wing night if anyone is interested.
-
Anyone interested in a game of something this evening?
-
Normally Thursday nights are good for me, but not this one in particular.
-
I'm looking to test out my PlanetFall lists now that the packet is out for Adepticon. Anyone have plans to meet up in the next couple of weeks in Denver/Colorado Springs?
-
Good question. It is probably about time to start thinking about a March meeting. I personally could do the last two weekends in March.
-
Yeah, I was thinking about that. Only days that really work for me this month are the 6th and 20th.
What does everyone think?
-
If the 26th isn't automatically too close to Adepticon, that's the only day I'm free. Other weekends have Trek Attack Wing Organized Play events - normally those are disposable, but this month is the "Doomsday Machine" event! No way I'm missing those! ;-)
-
I could do the 6th or the 20th.
-
I can do the 19th.
-
I can do the 19th.
Hey Stephan, if you want to get a PF game in on the 19th that would work for me.
-
Zorper, sounds good.
-
Anyone up for a game this Thursday?
-
Zorper, sounds good.
Scratch that. Family emergency just game up that is going to consume the weekend of the 19th. I could do the 5th or 26th if possible. Sorry.
-
Nope, sorry, I'm already committed for the 5th and the 26th.
-
Nope, sorry, I'm already committed for the 5th and the 26th.
Sorry about that.
-
Anyone up for a game this Saturday? I've got something from 11-12, but I'll be right next to Collectormania, so I could be there by 12:15 or so.
-
Stephan I could prolly make it out this sat. What would you like to play?
-
I need to practice my Firestorm fleet list, or I could do Planetfall. Sadly, I need to wait until after Adepticon to do any DW to avoid excessive rules confusion.
-
I could swing some firestorm in. how many points.
-
The tourney lists are 1000 pts.
-
sounds good. should be able to swing a 1k list.
-
Hey Stephan sadly got called to cover work tomorrow. Sorry won't be able to make it. The rsn really needed to hit the field again.
-
Understood, work happens!
-
Finally got my ocean 6x4 mat. Time to set up my next DW game.

Looks great. We need to get a game in. I promised Lubber that I'd get back into DW now that Adepticon is done, though I'm suffering from a bit of gamer ADD with all the new toys I picked up at the con.
