Guns kill people? What a ridiculously absurd statement! Guns don't kill people, clockwork automatons EQUIPPED with guns do...

Well I havn't relly gotten on anyone, but I think cake will help to keep from anything from happening. :P

[tenehuine]

wiley agreeing with me? maybe I need to take a cheesier angle on this

Anywho... While I do miss VPs (would rather give up 60vps for a dead raider then 1kp...yeouch), I have gotten used to working with KPs. However what I think we lost focus on here, and that is what works in this particular tournament format.

Since it appears they are doing a straight W-L-D format, having the single objective in a game give extra VPs seems to be the best solution (to me at least). Not to mention the change from KPs to VPs forces people to change how the play abit and I'm always up for a challange.

And you know I know what I'm talking about cause I have never lost to Sabote in a tournament game! (well aware I have cursed myself for our next match....bring on the 1s)

And so, the post throw down had been ended, woo.

@Sabote
Cool beans. Man hug inevitable, be prepared.

@All

I was really excited when they mentioned VPs at first. Nostalgic almost...and admittedly biased because my partner is playing IG.

I remember VPs being a fair and standard way to keep tabs on the winner. However, I never participated in a tournament that had VPs, as I only started the tourney scene after 5th ed. came out.


As the missions are stated right now, we have the following:

Mission 1: The Cedar Bucket
Victory Points
700VP if you control the bucket
6 turns, fixed.

No comment, should be a fun meat grinder. (I consider this one the "Annihilation" mission, just with VPs)


Mission 2: The Squig
4 Objectives:
- Own Deployment Zone (DZ)
- Opponents' DZ
- Captured Squig
- Captured Squig in own DZ

Basic Capture and Control mission; with the Squig dynamic added

I think KPs should be added to this mission as a tie-breaker for sure, as having an even number of objectives could cause problems. Or, you could make the Squig worth 2 for capture, 3 for capture in DZ, and then up the chance and severity of the "getaway roll" results. For Example:
- Make bad things happen on 1d6 roll of a 1, or on a 2d6 roll of a double.
- If the Squig gets away, make the squad take wounds (similar to the AP1 Vehicle hit if it's being transported)
- If the Squig kills the squad that is carrying it, it teleports back to the center of the table


Mission 3: The Warp Holes
5 Objectives

Basic Seize Ground Mission; with the hazardous objective bit thrown in.

No comment here really, but the hazardous objective bit is a little too easy to avoid. Maybe make the objectives fire a flamer template (direction determined by scatter dice) at SX APX (wounds on 4, no armor save, no cover save), auto-glancing vehicles, every turn when something is in range of the template. Then, make the wounds count only for the models under the template, not standard wound allocation.

That would spice things up.


All in all, at current, we have 3 very different, very interesting missions.

LOL, LMAO, ROFL, WTF!?!?!?!

[sabote]

Yeah I took out all my post because at the end of the day the LC guys are taking the time to put this all together so who really cares, we should just look forward to gaming. It will be fun just to get out and play the game and roll the dice. Plus I really dont care that much between KP and VP.

Plus I like Serion and all this was a bit crazy

[lonewolf]

Ya ya, being crazy is.. "crazy". *crickit crickit* please tell me where gona get those bowling shirts this week. ><

[Serion]

[Bikeninja]

WOW!!! I feel like we as a group should get together and give each other a huge man hug.

I just want to say.............I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!

Even lonewolf.

Now that I have had my emotional moment I must find a criminal and bring him the to the justice he so deserves. (looks for Taser)
