Yes. Dave and Greg run weekly RPG games there, so are familiar with store policies.

So i'm changing my list to 2 strike cruisers and 5 hunters for 490 points.

Da plan! (subject to modification by discussion)
Meet at the store around 11:30 with your lunch for meet and greet.
Basking Robbins, Donut Queen, Thai Rest., and Round table Pizza in the shopping center. Fast food restaurants are just on the other side of the freeway on Alamo Drive.

Noon: Set up tables and play
I have starfield tablecloths big enough for two tables. Would be nice if someone brought one or two more.

Bring:
Lunch
Dice & tape measures
BFG order dice and counters
Ships


Game 1: 500 points: nothing heaver than a regular cruiser, no aircraft.

Game 2: 1000 points: full game with aircraft and leaders

Game 3: To be decided

[Blindhorizon]

I have measuring sticks, but no order dice, and counters. And only 2 strike cruisers and 5 hunter proxies. I may be watching the second game, this will be my first ever playing of BFG. I have been reading the rulebook trying to understand everything, i think it will make more sense once i lose my first game.

and order dice, ordnance counters and probably enough blast markers.

And from a reply to blind's question on Dakka, here are a bunch of files for printing out the BFG paper play aids.
Cheat sheet, fleet list, planets, blast markers, torp conters etc.

So which ordinance marker size are we using? 2cmx2cm? And with the torp markers, are we using the ones in the link you posted? I'm not sure if this is printing in the right size, it might be but to confirm what is the diameter of the nova cannon template? If it is the same that i print i will assume everything is printing the right size. I measure 1.5inch template.

I'm not going to worry about ord base sizes. I have fighters and bombers on wide ones with torps and assault craft on square ones and am not likely to change them.

For torps I assume we will go to 2cm x 2cm pretty quickly (say for anything we do after this meeting), so you might want to use the 3 torp counters only. Nova cannon and bearing compass templates are 2" in diameter.


Also: everyone please have your 500 and 1000 point fleet already written up on the Fleet Registry sheets so we can start gaming immediately after setting up the tables.
