Discussion for this January event begins here.

Date: January 11th

Start time: Arrive at 12:30AM--Games starts by 1pm.

Location: TBD
Most likely somewhere in Shawnee, OK

Format: Rolling Rumble, 2v2. Each player brings a pair of armies. Before each game, each team rolls the d20. Whichever team rolls higher picks one of the army pairs. One player on that team will play one army, the other player will play the other army. Then the other team will also pick one army pair from among the other three remaining army pairs.

Armies: Each player brings a pair of armies totaling up to 690 points and up to 28 spaces. Each army cannot be less than 310 points or more than 380 points.
Hasbro Marvel units of 240 points or less are allowed.
Valhalla Customs units are allowed. I have a large VC collection. If you are interested in borrowing some VC units for your army, just let me know.
As this event is fairly casual, Heroes of Star Wars Scape units will also be allowed.
Reasonable proxies will also be permitted; just contact me or wbdhoc beforehand to confirm them.

Prizes: We will have a side table--if you bring something for the side table, you will be able to take something home from the prize table.

Map Pool: TBD

Attending:
1. capsocrates
2. wbdhoc
3-5. wbdhoc's friends

Maybe Attending:
1-2. caps' friends

Looks like Yogo is coming in from Arkansas, and wbdhoc are both bringing some friends. Is anyone else planning to make this event?

I'm starting to wonder if attendance will be too low for a team event.

Anyone interested in doing an event in the next few months?

[caps]

I'm planning to go to the event in Richardson, TX on May 31. As long as they don't reach their 20-person cap, any of you are welcome to carpool down there or meet me there. The TX guys are a fun bunch and very friendly.

--

How about an Oklahoma event in June or July?

I'd like to do a GenCon practice once the format is announced. It would also be fun to have one other event: I'm thinking of something crazy but a conventional tourney would be fun also.

Date:
11th or 25th of October - post your preference!

Start time:
TBA

Location:
TBA

Armies:
For this event, each player will bring two armies of 300-points with no more than 16 figures. The two armies cannot share any figures. These will be the two armies you bring to every game. (C3V/SoV and Marvel allowed. Each army must have at least 250 points of figures that can be placed.)

I have a large VC collection. If you are interested in borrowing some VC units for your army, just let me know.
Reasonable proxies will also be permitted; just contact me or wbdhoc beforehand to confirm them.

Format:

• Rolling Rumble. Players will be paired at the beginning of the event. As players finish their games they will be paired, based on record, with other players who have finished, so each game should be played to a reasonable conclusion. However, the Event Organizers may call a game at their discretion if it runs longer than a reasonable amount of time.
• Before each game, there will be a dice-off. The winner of the dice-off chooses either choice of the two armies used, or first choice between the two armies.
• Whoever has choice of the two armies used will choose which two of the four armies will be used in that game.
• The other player will then choose which of the two armies they want to play, leaving the other one for their opponent to play.
• The loser of the diceoff will then choose whether to place his army first or second.

Prizes:
We will have a side table--if you bring something for the side table, you will be able to take something home from the prize table.

Map Pool:
TBD

Attending:
1. capsocrates

Maybe Attending:

Sound off! Any preferences on date, time, and location? @wbdhoc and I plan to have everything decided by this Sunday, hopefully.

In the interest of making things easier on players less familiar with the metagame, and also enabling players to always pick one of the armies they brought, the format has been changed to regular Take 2, as in previous years.
