What should I take to Adepticon this year?

[Seahawk]

No, don't ever do attacker/defender, and I never advocate it.

The difference, instead, is to have a game not necessarily based on VP, but instead on objectives. Say, holding a planet, or keeping the transports alive, or something. Something 40k-ish or WFB Watchtower-ish...or even B&G-ish.

[lordgoober]

Ok.  Got it.  I have the perfect plan now. 

[lordgoober]

well.  the scenarios are designed and ready to go to the guy doing the layout and printing.  I'll do that tomorrow.  Be prepared for something different MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

[Seahawk]

Great!

Any hints?? 

[lordgoober]

nope

The only thing I can say is that the secondary objective cards from last year are not being used.  The different scenarios I'm using this year make them impractical.

[Seahawk]

Remember, don't make scenarios that dick over anything...like the one from a few years ago that saw you lose all of your ordnance if you lost a single ship that started the game in the middle of the board!

[lordgoober]

no.  I remember that scenario.  That's the scenario that made me TAKE OVER running the BFG tournament, that and the fact that the TO that year limited "named ship" upgrades to the actual named ships  in the BBB which screwed up my planned fleet for that year greatly (I think I was planning on using 3 torpedo dauntlesses when only 1 was mentioned in the BBB).  No.  the big twist is that one of the scenarios has Standard VP as the SECONDARY objective

[Seahawk]

Lovely. Can't wait!

[lordgoober]

That being said.  I need advice for the ringer fleet should it be needed as I'm focusing right now on my Flames of War stuff (which has pretty much taken over almost all of what was GW game playing time).  It's either going to be Imp Navy, Chaos or Tau.  I have at least 2 of every cruiser type for Imp Navy and one of every main battleship class I think (would have to check for the Apoc) and can do most chaos fleets and I have 4000ish points of Armada Tau.  I'd love to see a Ringer fleet by committee

Will IA X ships be allowed as reserves this year?

[lordgoober]

per the 2013 adepticon BFG rules pdf.

Imperial Armour fleet lists are NOT allowed. Individual ships (except the High Conveyor)
from Imperial Armour 10 are allowed and take up a slot in any respective fleet for the appropriate
race they are listed for with the following clarification :

The Night Hag:
Chaos Fleet.

Nicor:
Space Marine Fleet/Battlefleet Armageddon: As it's a Grand Cruiser it will require 2 other cruisers to field.

Vanguard:
Space Marine Fleet/Battlefleet Armageddon: Freely Available
as it's just a modified Strike Cruiser.

Raptorous Rex:
Space Marine Fleet/Battlefleet Armageddon: Counts as a Battle Barge for the fleet lists. As the
rules are written in IA 10, this ship may not turn as it a Battleship class ship and is given a max speed of 10cm and cannot use Burn Retros order. Battleships have to move 15cm in order to turn. The fluff describes the ship as being as large as a space hulk. Because of this, if possible to make a house rule at this point, I was going to rule that it functions like a Space Hulk with respect to movement (IE moves 10cm forward a turn and can make a 45 degree turn every 2 movement phases).

[BaronIveagh]

Ok, so it's more or less the same as previous years then.

Goober, I sent you a PM about Adepticon.
