LITTLE WARS PRE-REGISTRATION INFORMATION!
http://www.hmgsmidwest.com/LW%20Reg.html



Event # E195 is your event for Sat at 11 am

Event name is Steam Roller Warmachine Tournament

16 player maximum

If we go over 8, there will be four rounds. Two 35 point rounds, two 50 point rounds.

If we are 8 or less, there will be three 50 point rounds.

Warmachine and Hordes players welcome.

Players should prepare:

• One 35 point list
  
• One 50 point list
  
• All models being used
  
• Most recent cards

• All templates, markers, tools used to play
  

Prizes:

• Steamroller 1st, and, and 3rd place coins
  
• One Retribution of Scyrah best in faction coin
  

I will keep a list of sign ups here and elsewhere, and I'll figure it out with the
Little Wars registration (their deadline is next week Friday). The sooner we
can get a head count the sooner we can figure out the logistics of the event.

$10 if you're a member. (Membership is $10). There are details on the Little Wars Site.

Let me know once you've snailed your registration to HMGS and I'll give you priority on the list.

Questions:

Does the 50 point list have to include the same models that the 35 point list does?

Answer: No.

I may be able to make that. I have been to LittleWars the last 2 years anyway.

Is there pre-registration on their site?

I keep forgetting there's a convention named Little Wars.

Every time someone mentions it, I think they're talking about the FLGS in Baton Rouge...

It's a mail in form, actually. The event number is listed in the description.

List is started!

Bump.

More people need to show!

I am expecting to bring at least one player with me, Saxondog from the PPForums.

He is going to contact the Little Wars staff this week, since he thought there was online registration.

I am trying to convince a few more.

No whitekong this time? Sad :(

Tentatie additios: Carnage4u and Wisconsinites.

Whitekong is one of those I am asking.
I know he is aware of it, so with luck.

I had a lot of fun at the Adepticon Midnight Madness Tournaments.
So I really am hoping we get a good number at Little Wars.

Added Chuck.

Hoping to add the whitekong and the saxoniest dog.

Added saxondog and carnage's crew.

Ok so if skrulnik is driving the whitekong is in. Are we playing sr5 or what?

Same basic Steamroller 2010 rules. I just modified the list requirements to allow us an
even chance of getting out before the cows come home.

Sounds good to me, I look forward to hanging out with you guys.

I am driving so you are in.

Hey Malfred, does the 50 point list have to include the same models that the 35 point list does? I am just wondering I would like to try some new lists and just want to build them the right way for the tourney. Thanks in advance.

Hi Malfred & the rest,

Just a couple of questions:

I've only just found out that I'm free this Saturday and I'm really thinking of heading into Lincolnshire for the tourney. However, because it's relatively last minute, I'd be registering at the door. Is that okay?

Also, I'm very new to Warmachine. No one around here (Rockford, IL) plays it that I know of unless I drive into Games Plus, and I've had little interest from my friends. I've played a couple of solo games to work through the rules and I think I've got it down enough to not go "uhhhh...?" during my turns. Though I probably would be referencing the rulebook and my cards more than a veteran.
So, with that in mind, is a Steamroller tourney welcoming to new players? I'm just looking to get some games in and meet some people who play and don't really care if I get my butt handed to me (can't learn if you don't lose). I just don't want to be "that guy" and ruin it for anyone, however.

Jeff

You're a Rockford gamer? You should talk to saxondog, whitekong, skrulnik and Colin.

Can you handle playing with a timer on you? There's an extra set of tournament rules
out there from the tournament packet. If you can take your turns in 8-10 minutes
without getting upset about running out of time, I'd say give it a go.

As for the scenarios, here's the link: http://privateerpress.com/files/Steamroller_2010_v2%283%29.pdf

This event we're running with two lists: one 35 point list and one 50 point one. The
current turnout makes it seem like we'll be playing two 35 point games and two
50 point games.

You can register at the door. That's completely fine.

Well, head into Little Wars and at least stop by to say hi if you choose not to play.
There will be four of us from Rockford there.

Good luck with playing if you choose to.

I started playing in June, and Adepticon was my first Tournament. I lost 2 games top of 2nd turn to stuff I didn't know.

The timer gets you at first.
My biggest issue was if my Revenants didn't die, I used a lot of time to make the 2 attacks each they have.

Which Faction do you play?
Definitely go low model count if you have any doubts.

One of us...

One of us...

I'm still undecided on whether I will play or not. Almost sounds just as fun to come meet and watch you guys without the pressure of trying to get through the game. Doesn't mean I won't still come with an army in hand ready to play however. Either way, I will be there!
It's great to know there's other Warmachine players in town!

skrulnik wrote:Which Faction do you play?

My original starter army for Mk.II is Retribution. I think I have enough assembled to pull together 50pts. I've started painting them and if you don't mind me shamelessly pimping my blog, I've started doing posts about painting them up.
I also have a fully painted Cygnar army that I won at the last Games Plus auction. It's easily in the 100 point region! It was an awesome score.

I'll be thinking about the tourney over the next couple of days, but as I said, I'll be there regardless. See you on Saturday!

Well Jack no one around here plays retribution so that will fit in great with our group around here, looking forward to meeting you saturday. And as far as playing in the tourney goes, whats the worst that could happen? You lose all your games.

Did I mention that there's a Retribution coin leftover as a prize from Resurgence?

is start time 11am.. or Signup 11am ?

The goal is Start Time.

I appreciate anyone who can send me lists in advance. I will try to
have candy for those people.

Especially if they can send the 35 and 50 point lists to me at my felixnation gmail account.

A few things:

The event takes place at the hotel's raquet club. They carpet the courts and run
the events there. There's a observation area where you go to registration. Before
you register, let me know you're there. The tables are in the vendor hall along one
of the walls (if they keep them in the same place they were today).

Coins are an issue, so we have gift certs incoming. If you're an out of towner,
we'll figure something out. I have other things to give out as prizes.

Here's to hoping that I don't screw things up too badly.

Hey malfred, just a quick thanks from me and the boys in rockford, we all had a great time. Thanks for taking the time to run the event!

You're welcome. It was a fun time for me as well.
