I probably should have signed up to vote early by mail.  But I plan to hit the polls as soon as they open and then head to the GV (I think they don't open until noon anyway).  But I ordered lots of stuff, including the Storm of Steel campaign book and Blazing Sun starter box for Dystopian Legions, and I have a feeling they'll be in by then....

Hey, as far as tuesdays go, I should be able to make most evenings, it just depends on if I can swing the mornings, I ususally get out around 4 430, and get there by 5, 530 at the latest, things have been sorta crazy after the summer, and with the new job I have, I've recieved alot of responsibilities and pull 40 hour weeks now, but I will make sure I swing by the vault alittle more often!

Kyle and I are planning to play a late morning game on Sunday.

And then the demo games at the GV is the weekend after that!

Anyone up for some Dystopian Wars at Game Vault on Sunday 18 November (this coming Sunday)? i can be there when the store opens at 10.  Will most likely only come down if I have an opponent, as its a bit of a drive for me.

Reply here or send me a PM.

Well, Ian is coming over to my place on Sunday, so I'm out. You are welcome to join us, but my place is another 2 hours past the GV  :o.

You realize I'm running demo games of DW at the GV on Sunday, right?  It's the demo game weekend at the GV; any product which is related to a demo game is sold at a discount!

I'm running games from noon until 4 pm, but I'm planning to be there at opening to play some games before noon, and I may stay later.

Somehow I missed that.  Cool.  I'll be there when the store opens, and I'll stay and help you if you'd like.

Please forgive me...half my brain is in Virginia, the other half is in Colorado...or maybe all of it is in the air between here and there...

No problem.  I should be there by 10:15 on Sunday, and we should be able to get in a game before the demo properly starts at noon.  Especially if we do one of the 400 point recon scenarios from the X-Cam.  Ruckdog and I had fun with those the other day, and we managed to play through 3 of those games within 5 hours, and that was with interruptions to discuss BFG, nautical history, the Battle of Tsushima, etc.

Sounds like a plan.  Maybe my shiny new robots can get a few kills under their belts.

Was planning to come down to GV on Sunday, 2 December, for a little Dystopian Wars action, if anyone is available.  I bought the French ground forces boxed set a couple weeks ago, and now that I have a full squadron of Furieux-class airships to support my tanks, I wouldn't mind getting in some ground combat.

As always, reply here or send me a PM if you're interested--probably won't make the trip unless I have an opponent.  I'd also be up for a couple games of X-Wing, although I don't own the game.

I know it's a little bit of a hike, but come on up to Woodbridge on tuesday nights. Kind of odd that for a (primarily) 40K gaming group, we had two Warmachine tables, two DW tables and only one 40K table going last night................

I hear you Mondo Man, but so far the timing has just not worked for me.  But I will try to get there sometime soon!

Looking to get in a game or two of DW this weekend at Game Vault (5 or 6 January).  If anyone is interested, let me know--my schedule is wide open.  I'd be up for some X-Wing games as well, although I don't own the game.
Title: Re: DW at the Game Vault
Post by: MadDrB on January 02, 2013, 07:23:55 pm
I'm working through the weekend, but I'm thinking about spending some time at the GV on Friday afternoon, maybe staying into the evening, depending on finding some opponents.

The following weekend is better for me, January 12-13.

Post by: Landlubber on January 10, 2013, 06:57:20 pm
Ok, putting out the call again for anyone who wants to play some DW this coming weekend at Game Vault (12 & 13 January).  My schedule is open all weekend.  I'm open for land, air, or sea games.

This will likely be my last opportunity to play at the Game Vault.  I have FINALLY found employment in Colorado, and will be headed out in just a couple of weeks.  So after this weekend, I won't have any more time to get down there to play.

I should be able to make it to the GV this weekend for a game or two.  I need to check on plans my wife made for us this weekend, and I'll let you know something definitive Friday afternoon, Landlubber.
Title: Re: DW at the Game Vault
Post by: MadDrB on January 11, 2013, 05:27:18 pm
All right, looks like we'll be starting a game by 10:30 in the morning on Sunday the 13th!
Title: Re: DW at the Game Vault
Post by: Landlubber on January 11, 2013, 08:59:46 pm
Excellent!  Looking forward to it.  Glad we can get together again for one last hard-fought battle.  My schedule is pretty open, so I could play up to about a 1200 point game if you'd like.
Title: Re: DW at the Game Vault
Post by: MadDrB on January 12, 2013, 07:11:14 am
All right, let's do a 1200 point battle--I'll include my dreadnought in a fleet for once!  Or maybe one of the scenarios from Hurricane Season?
Title: Re: DW at the Game Vault
Post by: Landlubber on January 12, 2013, 07:09:53 pm
I haven't looked over any of those scenarios, but that's cool with me.
Title: Re: DW at the Game Vault
Post by: MadDrB on January 14, 2013, 07:10:46 pm
Thanks for meeting for a game, Landlubber.  1200 point fleets per side, and the FSA just slowly but methodically took my Blazing Sun fleet apart....

Played a 1200-point game with Greg last Sunday.  His American flying robots pummelled my Japanese battleships:

A pivotal moment--a John Henry class flying robot blew up and took out a good portion of the Japanese fleet:

And the final salvos before the Americans stormed the fortress and took control of the island:

I keep playing against opponents not registered in the X-Cam, so not even any Recon Points earned for this game....

It was a good game Aaron--great to roll dice with you one last time before I head West.  You know as well as I do that I got some lucky dice rolls (maybe my threat of dumping my dice tray along I-40 somewhere in Oklahoma made them shape up).

And I have no sympathy for you about the exploding John Henry...it was YOUR decision to shoot at it.   :)

Any takers on a game here? I have the following available, 28th, 2nd, 7th, 8th and 9th. Of course the Friday games would have to be evening ones. Though I may be able to use my Airplane autopilot to sneak out early... Depending on the day chosen I'd be bringing the Ottoman, and perhaps French, and RuS/Italian players with. Give a shout and let me know your thoughts! Looking forward to rolling dice.

I can make Friday night with my French.
When can you start?

If you guys play a X-Cam-friendly game, we can start that off as well ;).

I'm afraid this weekend is going to be a bit busy (I've got a command function to attend). I might be able to make it up on the 8th, though. I need to start lobbying the wife, though ;).

Hey CDR-G, let me shuffle some meetings round and take a look. Depending on what time I can get out and when they close may be able to get a couple games in. Will let ya know for sure.

Ruck, I still have a print out of the original X-cam we attempted with the guys up here. Are the rules staying the same? May bump the 400 game up to 5/600. Thoughts?

Just confirmed with the store. The Ottoman Player and I will be there at one. Then later in the afternoon may see the RUS/Italians

FSA FTW!! Though that prob wont happen....

Post by: CDR-G on February 25, 2014, 10:36:17 pm
I can likely make it by 4 PM. Possibly by 3:30.
If you are in a game I will watching till we can start another.
All I have at this point are some Frenchies.
How many points are you thinking?
