Also on the general wars, what are the army alliances. Idk if they changed from last year and a little clarification would help

Games do not have to be shorter; allow 6 hours instead of 5.

The whole point of the new General Wars is that you basically get to pick your own alliance.

Official GenCon event listing for General Wars does not have specifics -- no point totals at all

Yeah - they changed the number of participants in the event and somehow overwrote the details. I'm working with them to get his resolved.

How about that new General Wars, huh? Doors are wide open for what you can bring; no more being able to say, “this is the best army for this general or specific pair of generals”.

I will try to provide what I can for folks for the C3G event.
I do not have all the figures but I can probably find a decent proxy for just about anything. Just PM me and we can work it out.
I will probably play myself if possible. Will be running my go to testing army of Frankenstein, Dragon Man and Wendigo. Hmmm, now I am considering a Dinosaur build, I guess that will depend on what I can finish by then.

I promise I will get them there on time this year as well.

I will have some prizes as well, including what will be recently released designs.
Eject! Eject!

The biggest main event change (besides getting rid of the 3-2 bring cheese hope to win tiebreakers which imo wasn't a big deal) is that now there are an even number of games with and against your army for the first time in RtW history. There's always been more with your own army. So I expect army builds will continue to get weaker. You still have to win games with your own army to have any chance at winning the event so builds shouldn't get to be problematically weak ever

Just take Moresbane and hope no one shows for one game.

Well it's not really about lack of sleep its more about safety. Violence downtown has escalated the last month. There have been 3 shootings in 4 weeks, the last one being 2 Circuit Court Judges being gunned down outside of White Castle. Sadly downtown is no longer a safe place after dark. On top of that for me the drive home has not gotten any better. I have to about 40 blocks straight north until I get out of the "bad part" of town.

Am I a *****?...hell no but the folks at Gen Con say I can't carry my legally licensed gun with me. And no having a gun does not make me invincible but gods for bid I ever had to use it I would like to have it on me

Jeter says I'm scaring everyone so I've removed it

It is terrible thing to live in fear. I will be exploring downtown Indy at night, gun free.

It's not fear it's just disgust. 2 dudes aka Judges should be feel safe going to White Castle at 2:30 AM...instead of being shot.

It was the mass shooting under the "snow globe" at Circle Center that is most disturbing. Basically a drive by into a large crowd of "yutes" 1 of the 4 shot was a guy attending a wedding he just happened to be walking down the street. The City just needs to get their **** together before they start loosing Cons
