Re: M.A.R.S. at Mechanicon NHSD Event
I will try to see if I can get some Ohio people to carpool down there, as our NHSD will most likely be three weeks earlier October 15 in Columbus. It would be a 6 1/2 hour trip each way though, so I'd have to seriously think about it
You guys should also get Battleship Galaxies events going too. It fits the theme of the con, and I am sure if you added it to the scheduled event listing, people outside of Heroscapers.com and BattleshipGalaxians.com would sign up.

Battleship Galaxies will be present but probably not in an official capacity, unless someone else wants to run it. I'm not sure how to work it into the schedule at the moment. But we're planning for down time and I know several copies will be present. |

One last thing, can we get the thread title changed to read "M.A.R.S. at Mechanicon NHSD Multi-Day Event". It may help to get some more people outside of our region to click on the thread. |

Re: M.A.R.S. at Mechanicon NHSD Event
I'm good with the 400 pt. total for General Wars, I understand the reasoning behind it perfectly.
I love the idea of achievements for the event. That could really make for a great addition to a fun weekend. If I am there on one of the nights I would love some Battlestar Galactica, that game is the bomb (If Tom plays, assume he is a Cylon) I would love to see the Ohio contingent come out so if you can make it happen Lefton4ya, make it so! Does it make sense to have Mad_Wookie and Tom be the primary suppliers of maps for this event? The reason why I ask is that it would seem to be easier and less likely for there to be mixed up map pieces if just 2 people are supplying them as opposed to our normal 4 or 5 map builders. As far as trophies are concerned, we have 2 out there that never made their way back home. The Golden Deathwalker (The original trophy in our region) is with Kalislord somewhere and the one for last years NHSD is gone as well. I imagine that we can come up with something new for this though @ Tom, I changed the thread title, hope your happy!

Re: M.A.R.S. at Mechanicon Multi-Day NHSD Event
in the... OH! Bye The Way category... I never got around to hosting a tournament in Monmouth County (on the North Jersey Shore) as I wanted to, because I couldn't find a suitable (& afforadable) location and then my house was up for sale and the wife said I couldn't use it either -BUT- in my spare time I just happened to build THREE HeroSpace TROPHIES (for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place), which (now that I've moved to the South Jersey Shore [and down-sized considerably]) my wife would be glad if I donated them to this EVENT.

Re: M.A.R.S. at Mechanicon Multi-Day NHSD Event
I'd love it if the Ohio guys could come out and throw down with us!
As far as playing other games with you guys, "oh hells yes!" I still want to play Monsterpocolypse with you guys. (I blame Tom and Mad Wookie for getting me interested.) I hear the folks from Privateer Press (makers of said MonPoc) will be there. So perhaps they might have an event going. (Of course it looks like my days will be filled with scape, which isn't a bad thing.) EDIT: Even the football goods are with me. The Ravens don't play until Sunday Night at 8:20 on the 6th! Now I don't have to choose between scape and football. 73 tournaments. 175 - 145 - 1 overall record. 6 tournament wins. Last edited by clancampbell; August 1st, 2011 at 10:24 PM. |

Re: M.A.R.S. at Mechanicon Multi-Day NHSD Event
Final formats below:
Friday, Nov 4, 5pm - 9pm - Assassin's Guild: Players bring a pre-drafted 450 point Heroscape army containing at least one unique/uncommon hero, no Marvel. Army cannot exceed 24 hexes. Each player must also bring one Brandar's Chest glyph that will be given to a hero in that player's army at the start of the game. A player wins the game immediately if he or she controls both Brandar's Chest glyphs at the end of any turn; eliminating an opposing army will still result in a victory as normal. Four matches of 50 minutes. Saturday, Nov 5, 10am - 2pm - General Wars: Players bring a pre-drafted 400 point Heroscape army, no Marvel. Army cannot exceed 24 hexes. All Army Cards MUST be from the same Valkyrie General. Valkrill units will be classified as Utgar for this event. Four matches of 50 minutes. Saturday, Nov 5, 4pm - 9pm - MARS Throwdown: Players bring a pre-drafted 520 point Heroscape army, no Marvel. Army cannot exceed 24 hexes. Five matches of 50 minutes. Sunday, Nov 6, 10am - 3 pm - Heroes Only: Players bring a pre-drafted 550 point Heroscape army that does not include squad units. Marvel allowed. Army cannot exceed 12 hexes. Five matches of 50 minutes. Last edited by mad_wookiee; August 1st, 2011 at 11:13 PM. |

Re: M.A.R.S. at Mechanicon Multi-Day NHSD Event
@ Johngee - I was reading about Shadows Over Camelot last night, and I would be interested in learning how to play.
In addition, I have heard a lot about MonPoc and I would like to learn how to play that game as well. We can bring Summoner Wars and/or Munchkin from our collection as well. |

This sounds like a great event. My personal preference is to minimize glyph usage. What do you need in terms of volunteer work?
