Re: Florida Frenzy 5.0
I do hope to attend.
I definately would say NO CUSTOMS. Point wise? I like the 555 number. It just feels right for this event.

Re: Florida Frenzy 5.0
It seems 500 point armies are most preferred, but a couple people wanted a non-standard number. I think we can oblige all camps by having a 505 point total. Is this OK with everyone?
I have contacted Books-A-Million, and they have nothing going on 10/22/2011, so we should be all set. That will be the location unless I find an actual game shop which could give us prize support (speaking of which, we may be getting some if we get enough people, so please tell you friends to come!). The only thing left is to determine maps. As in the past, I think we should have 4-6 maps, each one brought 2-3 times. We need at least one snow/ice map. Please post your suggestions! I want the maps finalized when September ends. |

Just a warning, it does have a couple of small problems: it uses a few extra shadow tiles (I think that some of Mika's fell into the mix), and there are a couple spots near the middle of the map where a carefully positioned 1-hex ranged figure can't be reached by a 2-hex melee figure. I've been meaning to fix both those issues for a while, and I think that this is finally the impetus to do it. Expect to see a new-and-improved version for your consideration by Wednesday. |

Re: Florida Frenzy 5.0
My updates to Stony Pass are coming along really well (I opened up some new paths, made moving out of the start zones quicker, fixed the number of shadow tiles, and fixed the problem with access for double hex units), but I want to give it another couple days of study/tweaking before I post it, so it won't be up 'til Wednesday.

Re: Florida Frenzy 5.0
Gratuitous triple post alert.
Updates to Stony Pass are complete. It's a much more tournament-ready map now. My design thoughts are here. |

Re: Florida Frenzy 5.0
Good to hear, Torog. Thanks for the map suggestions, Filthy the Clown. I would love to play on Stony Pass, but I only have one RttFF. As long as someone can make it, we can have it.
The same goes for lava/snow maps. We need to make sure we have enough tiles to make them, and that they are not too big to fit on the tables. I like Polaris and Juniour's Thaelenk Pass, but it may be a little long for our tables. Here are a few more possibilities: Typhon2222's QUICKSILVER FANE (tournament version) Uses: 1 RotV, 1 FotA, 1 RttFF (road tiles only), 1 TJ. Glyphs: 2 Download: here Map: Bring Your Boots by Bengi Requirements: 1 SotM, 1 TJ Glyphs: Optional, multiple good locations Map: Cold Conflict by Bengi Requirements: 1 RotV, 1 TT, Heavy Snow, Slippery Ice yagyuninja's Ekstrom Tunnel 1 RotV, 1 FotA yagyuninja's Oxbow Road 1 ROTV, 1 RttFF Velenne's Shadow of the Mountain: Dungeon tiles and glaciers split the map in twain as armies battle across the borders and in the gaps. 1BftU/1TT The CEE's Redvale Crossing Requires: RotV x1 and RttFF x1 SuperflyTNT's Tourney Map - The Forbidden Temple ( added 9-26-08 ) PDF Construction Guide: http://www.heroscapers.com/community...d=854&act=down Required Materials: 1 ROTV, 2 Forest, 1 Castle, and 1 Lexan Grasslands Map (or another Master Set) rym's Download Overgrown here.

Re: Florida Frenzy 5.0
Just letting you guys know, A Heated Engagement is a really fun map to play on, especially of both players are using melee armies. It's pretty easy to clog up with rats though... Q bros hate the lava placement, but Braxas kills.

Re: Florida Frenzy 5.0
Burny, do you have dimensions for the table? or at least an approximate? Perhaps that would aid in deciding which maps to use.

Re: Florida Frenzy 5.0
Here are the tables:
Books-A-Million Books-A-Million (Cafe) Last year we put some of the maps on large cardboard and put those on the tables. I think each small table is like 2' x 2.5', but we can move and combine them as necessary. Was anyone planning on a 505 point army? Or only 500? |

Re: Florida Frenzy 5.0
Hello All,
Sorry for the late response, Torog just notified me of the thread today. I will definitely be attending so you can put me down for 1. My wife should be coming too but she'll be spectating rather than playing. I have to check with Rennix to see what his schedule looks like but I assume he'll be able to make it too. I'll be sure to let you know if I get anymore newcomers, I have a couple people in mind. Sincerely, ~Zealot ---- Let's all be honest here ---- ---- This is what you thought of when you saw my name wasn't it? |
