Subject: The Biggest Apocalypse Battle in History! Jan. 22nd, 2011 (UK - Warhammer World)
My name is Alec Peters and I run he SoCal Apocalypse CLub out of the GWLos Angeles Battle Bunker. I also run www.apocalypse40K.com, which is a forum dedicated to, what else, Apocalypse sized games!
On January 22nd, 2011 we will be holding the biggest Apocalypse Battle ever at all 4 US Battle Bunkers (L.A., Seattle, Chicago and Memphis) as well as a few tables at Warhammer World in the UK and the Norway Apocalypse Club. All the sites will be linked into one massive game with a common narrative of a whole system under attack.
If you play Apocalypse and want to be part of it, please come and check out the info on our site. We are working with the guys from Siegeworld, the Apocalypse club from Saint Louis who started putting rules and records down for this stuff. And in case you are interested, here are the current records:
Currently, according to Siegeworld, the records are:
Most Points in a Single Game
This requires all models to participate in a continuous game on one table, interconnected or otherwise. All models must be painted (3 color) and the game must last 4+ turns over an unbroken time period (eg-with some breaks, but no "pause and come back the next day"). The record was set by Siegeworld in St. Louis MO. on 8/14/10 at 382,000 points
Most Points in a Single Battle
Similar to the above, but models don't need to be painted, and two or more disconnected tables. Anything goes so long as it is interrelated and simultaneous. Allows for multi-location play, discontinuous tables, unpainted minis, etc. No turn requirements. The record was held by Siegeworld at 433,000 points (also the first group to play a 400k game of 40k), but was surpassed in September, 2010 at GMI Games in Riverside, CA with 520,000 points.
Most Tank Models in a Single Battle
Anything with an AV, MCs, and GCs count as one, so long as they're painted. Single battlefield as per the first record and no turn limit (Siegeworld did not break this record) GW Manchester UK holds the title with 2,562 models.
Most Minis in a Single Battle
See Most Points in a Single Battle. Same restrictions apply. This record is anything goes so long as it is interrelated and simultaneous. A miniature is counted as any piece which has its own base or does not use a base. Essentially, if it can be moved on its own (thus a swarm base is a single miniature). Siegeworld is the current holder of the record, at 6,500 minis done in St. Louis MO. on 8/14/10.
So we will be going for both the biggest GAME record, as well as the biggest BATTLE record. I think we will break the MOST MINIS record as well.
If you have a game group that wants to participate, you just need a location and a group of players! Any group can participate in the records for biggest BATTLE. You don't need to have all painted minis (that is only if your location wants to try and break the biggest GAME record, which is currently 382,000 points - which is what the L.A and Seattle Battle Bunkers are going for) you just need to play 4 turns and follow our objective rules for scoring.
Chaos and its Traitor Guard will make a showing 10k

1 isn't broken. It's when you spam them that the inherent brokenness is revealed: They shut down the game. I don't mean they break it, I mean they literally shut it down as you can create a large area in which nothing is able to move, controlling your opponents' entire side of the board with enough of them, especially if they're the upgraded version.
