Anyone mind if people start playing before 5:30? I've noticed that a lot of folks roll in around 4 or 4:30 & we might be able to fit in two games a night or get home earlier so we can watch Housewives or whatever.

As one of the 4oclock people I'm into it

Played a great game agaubst Mike and his AstraMilitarum&Salamanders last night (7/29)
I got 9 conquest points (2 for playing and 7 for my grand warlord Trait: Cherish even the dead)

Not sure what Mike got.

Sunday, anyone gonna be around and wanna play a game? or a small one on Saturday(I have to leave by 2 on Saturday so it would be a short game)

I can't do Sunday. But if anyone was interested in a game Saturday I'm down to play.

I'm free Sunday, how big?
or do you want to try Kill Team or Zone Mortalis?

Results:

Team standings so far based on that chart
Imperium - 331(11players)
Xenos - 195(8players)
Chaos - 57(2 players)

Next week is the last week right? Let's go xenos! With point normalization with a real good week we can take it!

Lost to Alejandro but I complete my grand warlord trait. I believe he got 5 conquest points and I got 9. My dad (bob) played Chris Bradley and and only scored 3 conquest points.

Send me a PM in the morning if you want to play, I'm cool with a big game, we can do a 1v1 Apoc if you want 3K with all the toys, Lords of War, Massive Fortifications, Apoc Formations, etc

Reminder of what you're fighting for:
-most territories
-most planets with at least one tile claimed
-most entire planets conquered
-most conquest points overall
-most conquest points on winning team
-most games played
-most points losing side
Players can win more than one category. Total Prize money split between these 7 categories.

I might be missing some results on the score sheet- I've managed to take like 10-12 territories, I'm not seeing enough wins in there.

I've also got some more results in, I played Bob's Tyranids on tuesday and again today. As a reminder, I'm Chris, representing Chaos.

Date: 7-29-14
2 for playing
3 for first win in a week
1 for different teams(Xenos vs. Chaos)
Grand Trait: Crush Wills
Grand points scored: 10
Total: 16

Date: 8-4-14
2 for playing
2 for second win
1 for different teams(Xenos vs. Chaos)
Total: 5

I grabbed a couple territories on the big multicolored planet.

I got a surprise first-turn charge on Bob in the first game that shut him in him deployment zone. In the second we got dragged into a more protracted fight and he started pushing me back. If the objective cards hadn't been so dead-set on messing with him, Bob might've had me.

Hey Chris. Were the wins written on the paper score sheets or were they ones you needed to post online? We can get everything sorted tonight.

Edit it looks like you got a 5 point game week 3 Chris so well add that to your total + whatever other games are found. If you could post a list of your games and points through the campaign that would be a big help.

I won't be in tonight because I have family visiting this week, but use the photos as a record of games played. I have all the sheets that everyone has filled out also.

I'll do my best to take care of that Gil. They'll be cell phone pics but whatever. Also do you see any games that were written down for Chris Bradley that got missed on the sheets? I'd like to know where I/we all stand going into the final week.

Thanks everyone for a great campaign!! Winners were Mike B., Steve B., and Chris B… wait a minute?!

We'll start again in about a month. PM me your email address so we can use GoogleDocs this time around. Just to throw out some dates:

September 30th, October 7,14,21,28th November 4th with prizes given out November 11th.


November 11th is Veteran's Day; possible day off from work/ school?
If people are interested, I would enjoy running a multi-player scenario on Veteran's day where we fight through 4 boards.

Board #1: Void War: only flyers & drop pods as Imperial Forces attempt to land on a space hulk. No terrain other than astroids.

Board #2 Outside the Space Hulk. Drop pods land here & disembark forces trying to breach hulk. Frank offered terrain pieces & I am modeling the actual board that Frank with place his stuff on top of. It features a giant landing bay door. Xenos players can deploy any troops/ models that can breathe in the Void on this board.

Board #3 Landing Bay Big open space 3'x4' that Imperial Players try to fight across to get to Board #4

Board #4 The Corridors leading to the command deck which is the objective for the whole shebang.

This one plus one more I'm making, plus all the tiles that Frank made.

Imperials: Bring as many flyers as you have plus around 1000 points for foot walkers. Land Raiders can't really drive around the ship. (Insert BA reference here) Xenos bring flyers plus around 1500 points each. I say around because it really doesn't matter, but we don't want it to be unwieldy.

Frank, post photos & let us know what worked well for the scenario you ran yesterday.

I finally pulled my head out of my butt & created a google form for Phase 3 of the campaign:

PM me with your email address & I'll share the spreadsheet with you. Post what changes you think I should make. I'll make changes next week sometime.

I think the biggest thing about ZM is that assault units are very powerfull, because of the tight confines and the fact that there is line-of-sight blocking everywhere units like Assualt Marines,Howling Banshee's, etc can get across the board without being shot apart. You don't need an assault transport, because the terrain itself provides that cover.
I forgot my copy of IA:12 so we didn't play with the terrain effects rules, But I've used those before and they add a nice level of tention to the game (is the hull going to get blown out this turn and make every shot rending?)

one of the important things when setting it up is to consider the flow of models and where the choke points will end up. The last thing you want is a big choke point get gummed up and effectivly takes entire units the whole game to manoeuvre around. Distance is another thing to think about, you can be 6 inches away from an objective... but it's on the other side of a wall so you need to move 30 inches to get to it.
in this case we had two routes that vehicles could take though the bunker (in ZM if you can't physically turn in that space, then you can't turn)


^ one of the vehicle corridors


^overview of the board, main vehicle corridor runs left to right (razorback parked in it), and the dreadnoughts are marching though the second vehicle corridor (starts in top left, and ends near the bikers in the middle right)


^ the forces converging on the choke point where both vehicle corridor's converge.

Forgeworld has a PDF of the rules:
http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Downloads/Product/PDF/z/ZM6thUpdate.pdf
it is slightly out of date, but not enough to really matter.
The only thing there are missing is the Catastrophic Damage Table for void battles (the PDF has the table for bunkers)

Brent at BOLS just posted an article and a comment jumped out at me:
"We spend so much time practicing the game instead of spending time playing it. I hope that distinction isn't lost on you. "

I definitely fell victim to this for the past 2 years or so, but this campaign has done an excellent job of getting me back to playing for the hell of it.

FYI That's Entertainment store in Fitchburg MA is starting a Crusade of Fire Campaign on Sept. 7th. I don't any more than that. I think their FB page will have more info.

So the current campaign started last night Tuesday sept. 3rd. To those who weren't there but are planning on joining PM inquisitormack for details.

Steve this is where the wording got confusing for the vulture. It states it has twin lo lied punisher cannon*s* not cannon but it doesn't list 2x. On the vendetta right above it, it shows 2x twin linked Lascannons and then twin linked lascannon for the third lascannon that it has.
So that's where e got confused about how many punisher cannons it has because it shows plural on the description

Latest map:
There are not many folks this phase so we only deployed on a few planets.
