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. :-)

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 ;-)

Firestorm Armada Missions will resemble these Adepticon Primer Missions here:

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!'
