Format:
A World in Flux. The land is constantly changing, forcing armies to fight in places where they may not feel comfortable.

Round 1: Standard kill em all format
Round 2: Heat of Battle.
Players both roll a D20 and the higher roller chooses to place first or second. The players alternate placing one card at a time.
Figures are placed one card's worth at a time.
You must place all of your cards worth of figures adjacent to one another
AE & Retchets are deployed as normal via the drop/summon. Roll for drop will be after all other figures have been placed and before placing markers.
Round 3: Fog of War.
A deep fog has settled over the battlefield. All ranged units suffer from lack of visibility. -3 to all range and abilities that require line of sight. For example, the Krav Maga Agents with a normal range of 7 would now have a range of 4. Raelin (RoTV) would have an effective range of 1 for her aura and so on.
Round 4: Frozen Tundra
The land has frozen beneath your feet. All snow and ice is heavy and slippery. All water and swamp water is considered to be slippery ice.

Put me on the attending list.

[tom]

It is more likely than not that I will be there. Just can't confirm 100% until we are a little closer to the date. I will bring maps as usual.

Hope you can make it Tom.

[clancampbell]

Put me and Xanth on the possible list. Most likely we'll be able to make it, but strange things can happen in 2 months.

Likewise... I'll mark my calendar and plan on being there, but December seems far off and is usually a pretty hectic month for us, intensifying as the the hours pass and we approach the festive holidays with uncompleted tasks gnawing at our subconscious mind like pack of hungry gnids. I hope Mrs. G. doesn't have anything planned for that weekend. The 10th should be early enough for me to get away for some R&R in the middle of her honey-do's (shopping and decorating) requirements on my time. I will follow this thread and keep you posted.

[TheEpicAlpaca]

You can put TheEpicLlama and TheEpicAlpca on the possible list.

Thanks

I checked with my FLGS and they've don't carry a HeroScape Fluxx game and have never heard of one. They only have the Original Fluxx, Eco-Fluxx, Zombie-Fluxx, Priates-Fluxx, and of course my favorite Monty-Python-Fluxx. So when can we expect to see the format for this new version of yours?

Soon. This darned life thing keeps getting in the way

[Scooter72]

Put Scooter72 down as a strong possibility.

[clancampbell]

How will round 4 be handled for maps that have no snow?

We'll try and have a nice mix of snow maps in there. For those that don't we will have maps that are heavy on water/swamp water for the frozen effect.
