Any Players in Bay Area/SF?

[timdp]

Well that was fun! Gaming was a huge improvement over how my day had been going...
We had 8 players and had four 1500 point games.  Most of us are noobs, so games took longer than they needed to, but at least we we all learned a lot.

Yeah we need to go ship to ship, don't forget though my strike cruiser are undefeated and havent tasted the voids cold touch either. My hunters on the other hand die like crazy. If you ever come up for some casting lesson's we will set some time aside for a void battle too.

Yay pics! Thanks Gun!

Welcome PzKpfwCrusader. Next game probably will not happen until after the holidays, perhaps early January. Info and updates will be posted here.

For the last battle we used  “standard rulebook from GW (1.5) + FAQ 2010 & Compendium”.  Are we going to move to BFG:R or continue to use that rule set?

Ah yes, rules... That did not work out terribly well. Need to do more research. The only parts of the BFG:R rules that are done and/or are being worked on are the fleet lists. The rules part is in limbo development wise. Dave found a more developed version. I will get the URL from him and post it here and we can discuss what we want to do.

Sounds like a grand plan Boss!  I'd like to get a idea on a good rule set so we can learn it and have consistency.  Welcome PZK, hopefully you can link up wif us after dis year ends.  It's a good group of Lads.

Happy New Year everyone!

My schedule has been and continues to be pretty crazy till well into February but there are a couple of things I wanted to mention.

Saw this on DAKKA:

Subject: Teaching Battlefleet Gothic (1/24, SF Bay Area)
I will be teaching Battlefleet Gothic at Game Kastle Santa Clara at 1:00 pm on Saturday, 1/24. There will be some old hands at it, along with a few newbies. If you've always wanted to learn BFG, or if you're already a pro looking for a game, swing by.

I won't be around, but it might be useful for someone to go and make contact with this group for networking purposes and enlarging the Bay Area BFG group.

Next up is Dundracon, coming up Feb 13-15 in San Ramon (http://www.dundracon.com/).
There is one BFG event on the schedule, and if we brought BFG stuff we could probably get a few games done in the the Open Gaming room. Dave, Greg and I will be there, we just need to decide whether to bring BFG stuff or not.
