Re: Mid-Atlantic Regional 'Scapers (MARS) Event Thread
Thanks for chiming in, it helps us gage the level of interest. It would be great to see you and game with you again, but I've been to MD enough times to know just how "too far away" it really is (~~lol~~)

Re: Mid-Atlantic Regional 'Scapers (MARS) Event Thread
@Man_At_Arms -
Hi Chuck, I think it would be better to continue this conversation on this thread, so as not to cause confusion on D_S's November 19th, 2016 Savage, MD Event. Quote:

But my intentions are: #1. to avoid playing "Squad-Scape," #2. to avoid the same old "A+ Units" dominating the battlefields, and #3. to encourage more variety of characters seeing action. The LINY group tried some event where only Less Than B+ rated units were allowed and I thought it was less than convenient to research those stats. I'm considering declaring ALL UNITS as "unique." Therefore every one can bring any unit, but only ONE (1) card of that unit. Absolutely no duplicates of common squads or common and uncommon heroes. This would require each of those three 400 point Armies to be completely different from one another. Quote:

Meanwhile if a participant has lost two out of three or all three games (or even if they've narrowly won two or three games), as long as they can do not have 400 points worth of surviving units, only then can they resurrect any units from their "Graveyard" bag of dead guys to reconstitute another 400 point army to continue playing in the final rounds. I hope this make sense. We can tweak in in so many ways.

Re: Mid-Atlantic Regional 'Scapers (MARS) Event Thread
Hey my name is Eric and I just moved to northern Virginia. None of my friends play Heroscape here so I'd be totally interested in coming up to NJ or even PA. I just rediscovered my collection after getting rid of my storage container.

Re: Mid-Atlantic Regional 'Scapers (MARS) Event Thread
Welcome back! It looks like you saw the thread for Dad_Scaper's event on November 19. You should definitely try to make it. There is always a decent turnout, and he runs an excellent low stress tournament. It should be lots of fun.

I'm sorry that I've been so pessimistic the past two weeks. I didn't want to be disappointed again after putting in a lot of work the past two events and getting very little response. But now it looks like there will be at least FOUR of us, maybe 5 or 6, wanting to play some HeroScape ALL day. So I guess it looks like we're a *GO* for Saturday, October 15, 2016 at Park Church, in Tinton Falls, NJ and I will plan on it. Do you want to refresh the Hamilton Event thread with new information or start a totally new one to possibly gain a bigger audience? For the FORMAT: Forget the "graveyard" thing I was blathering about above. Let's keep it simple. I like the traditional "Kill them all" with partial card scoring with *NO* Marvel, C3G, HoSS, HoME, or personal customes allowed. But ALL C3V units that have been 'semi-officially' approved and published on this HeroScapeRs site will be accepted. I've been thinking that each player should bring FOUR (4x) totally separate Armies (in that no character figure can be duplicated in another Army). Each army should be no more than 500 points that fit on to no more than 24 hexes. The total point value comes to 2,000. No one will use the same army twice unless more player show up and we then have to go to a Fifth Game playoff. This way we will get to see a lot of different units in action, both in our own armies and in our opponents. You can even play the same person multiple times since you would both have a different army. I will bring a dozen different armies in case someone needs to borrow one or an onlooker wants to join in without having their own. Regarding how much SPACE is available: The foyer / lobby of the church is plenty big enough. I was planning on TWO (2) 6' x 30" tables just for HS. They accommodate TWO (2) standard HS BoV type maps each. But I can even bring an extra table just in case. 2 tables x 2 maps each will allow up to 8 players simultaneously. Let's arbitrarily say each game is limited to 50 minutes. I will definitely bring at least two maps and if each of you bring one map or tiles to build one on the fly, that should be plenty. The player with the highest score will get the first choice of the available prizes (i.e. maybe cookies, etc.). Reiterating . . . LOCATION: The PARK CHURCH at #31 Park Road, Tinton Falls, NJ. DIRECTIONS: If you come off the Garden State Parkway (Northbound OR Southbound) at Exit #105 for Eatontown, take the jug handle ramp on the right to make the left turn onto Hope Road heading north. At the first light (1/10th mile) turn LEFT at the Applebee's and continue 100 yards to #31 on the right. IMHO: it's very easy to get to. DATE & TIME: Saturday, October 15th, 2016 - arrive and set up 11:00 AM Hope to be rolling dice by 12:00 NOON to play FOUR consecutive games of 45 - 50 minutes each with 10 minute breaks in between to tally scores and partake of refreshments. The church is providing some snacks and pizzas will be ordered at 5 o'clock-ish to then be sold by the slice. COST: Since the church is "suggesting" a $10.oo per person donation, which will go toward the Easter Seals Foundation (one of our gamer friends in this Exit 105 Group, has this disease and is confined to a wheelchair - she's an amazing lady, I hope you get to meet her), ... I do not want to ask for any additional money, unless everyone was will to chip in another dollar or two. I have some extra figures I can donate as prize support (i.e. a Grimnak or Mimring, perhaps - haha - and some more C3V customs, maybe some lollipops too, etc.) ACCOMODATIONS: There's an Applebee's across the street, a Mariott on the corner, a 7-11 around the block, Chinese Take-Out, and a Bogart's 1/4 mile away; and Monmouth Mall with over 100 stores, a huge food court and a dozen other restaurants is less than 2 miles away. If you need any other information Post a query here or P.M. me and I'll get back to you. Cheers. ~ John G.

Bumping this thread, which I see I overlooked the last couple of times. We are up again in Savage, on 7/1. See some of you there!
