Cool! And many thanks!

Scenario work still in work ...

I'll check registrations tonight too, see how many we expect.

Five including me for the DW Scenarios

Four including me for Planetfall

Zip for Firestorm :-( I'll need to canvas for games Saturday Night! Open for any of the usual's, even X-Wing, STAW or Armada or boardgames. Or I could always join a Savage Worlds game... one of my old CMU alumni classmates is running a Star Wars themed session IIRC

Greg looks good for the HALO event. I'll play if I don't make the Warmachine Finals (i.e. highly like I'll play HALO)

I checked this morning, I've got two for Halo on Sunday, one of whom is Zorper. Dale, you're welcome to come join in the fun if you fall out of the Warmachine event.

If no one is signed up for Firestorm Armada on Saturday night, and you already have the tables reserved for the game, we could just use it for open gaming. My last Firefly game is scheduled to run until 7, but it may end earlier than that. I didn't register for the Firestorm event because of the Firefly game and because I didn't want to play in a tournament, but I'd be happy to throw my ships on the table for a casual game after 7.

Got any room in the Firefly game? When does it start?

I kinda want to play Star Wars Armada if no firestorm, but I don't own it yet...

I'm running two Firefly games on Saturday, 11-2 and 4-7. Last I checked there was room in both. The second game, 4-7, is technically for experienced players only...it's a homebrew scenario I've cooked up where the players are all competing for a position in Niska's criminal empire. Which means they have to do some bad things to gain favor with Niska. If you've gotten at least a few games under your belt and you feel comfortable with the rules, then you'd probably do fine.

Does anyone have a copy yet of Star Trek: Ascendancy? That might be fun to play later that evening during the Firestorm slot (assuming no Firestorm players show up).

I'd be happy to play either of those. I hear Rebellion is a very good game.

Rules for the Tacticon Patrol Fleet Tourney! Saturday evening 5Pm til close

http://tacticoncolorado.com/

Cause they're awesome, I'm just borrowing Ryjak's rules from his Patrol Event  (see his page http://ops-center.weebly.com/)

Fleet List: 600pts, single list

Game Rules: All the standard rules the 2.0 Rulebook, plus all current FAQs/Errata/Fleet Guides.

Event Rules: Battleships, Battle Stations, Battle Carriers, Assault Carriers, and Heavy Carriers will not be allowed to fill your Tier 1 slot. For factions with no other Tier 1 options, you may either take your faction’s Tier 2’s as your Tier 1, or take a legal Ally’s Tier 1 ship.  Please note you must have a Tier 1, which will cost you -4 Battlelog when destroyed.

No Admirals will be assigned, so no TAC cards.  All Disorder tests use 3d6.

Tournament Scoring: Normal rules for Battle Log will be used during each Mission.  When the game reaches its natural conclusion, or is called for time, players will compare their Battle Log to determine their Tournament Points, using the Margin of Victory Table from page 84 in the Rulebook:

Difference
Leading Player Tournament Points
Trailing Player’s Tournament Points
0 to 4
Draw; 5 points
Draw; 5 points
5 to 9
Marginal Success; 7 points
Marginal Loss; 4 points
10 to 14
Major Triumph; 9 points
Major Defeat; 2 points
15+
Landslide Victory; 11 points
Complete Rout; 0 points

If a player is forced to Emergency Shunt Out (page 83), then this will be considered a Landslide Victory for their opponent (11 points) and a Complete Rout for them (0 points), regardless of Battle Log.

Planetfall Rules for Friday 9 to 4!

Bring you best 3000pts, single Battle-Group, but plan for no more than 12 activations per side (not counting transports). This will keep things fast and furious, while still allowing for larger model inclusions!
Custom scenarios based on the Adepticon events, but the Zero Hour Tracker will still start at 30!

Greg, could we borrow your sea mat for the DW event?

I still need to rustle up terrain for Planetfall...

Oh, and if you need my space mat for HALO on Sunday, let me know. About 90% chance I'll be playing Malifaux, but I can lend the mat.

No problem on the sea mat. I'm planning to leave work around 1500 on Friday, I only work a few exits up 25 from the convention center, so I'll just bring it with me.

Thanks for the offer on the space mat, but I'll use the one I used at our Spartan day back in April.

@Dale

I've got at least two tables worth of terrain for PlanetFall.  I'll bring all my stuff Friday morning.

Awesome! Thanks Tod!
I won't break myself assembling terrain tonight :-)
