Final Results

yup. 1 pt per model.

no its a good question, its just how we agreed to do them today as its the first time we had a tie

It's none of my beeswax, but wouldn't victory points be a better tiebreaker? My all-infantry Imperial Guard force does not like your method...

this is true, and some of the games will give a certain faction points for making a draw. it was actually bear himself that suggested kill points, and then realized that shot himself in the foot when we added it up. i think a point for each unit destroyed would have been better and doesnt descriminate against troop heavy armies.

I think IA:9 recommended 1 KP/model, but IC and walkers and the like are 5KP's each. But then I think they are assuming Muh-reens vs Muh-reens (which this was), and several other stuff. (The Deck level mission actually recommends smaller games, with a recommended max of 25 models/side. It also recommends a more or less Kill-team set-up that ignore coherency, etc. Basically each model fights independantly.) A Ship Vault board (think 4x4 CoD) is actually the default set-up. The Deck mission is just a lot of fun.

That said, if it were say Nids or IG or Orks vs DW or GK I think it would need to be std kill points.

Robyn: you planning on playing tomorrow?

I know EXACTLY what you mean. My wife isn't terribly happy most game nights, b'c I'm home from work for a couple of hours, and by the time I'm home the kids are in bed. Although having the campaign in my basement seems to help, as I can run up if she needs a hand. Tournament days usually don't start well tho.

The month after June 20th will be a lot better for games. My wife's going to see her folks in Ontario and taking the kids. So I can stay up late, eat bad food, paint mini's by the batch, and have friends over to discuss the key differences between the 4th and 5th ed Vehicle Damage Charts.....

Hall pass.......

that's all i'm say.

The key diference here, is I spend my time reading comics books, painting toy soldiers and robots, and putting a new coat of laquer on my DM's screen:) I think I'm a bit more "Big Bang Theory" than Owen Wilson:)

You know what would be 100,000 times cooler than playing on white pieces of paper? The Space Hulk Board game, if you don't own it buy it. It's one of the greatest board games ever produced. It comes with sweet figs and all the tiles seem to be exactly what the white paper mission needs. Plus it has doors and all kinds of =I=censor=I=, it's awesome.

We're using the SH tiles for the games at my place. They work fantastic, other than the rooms are a little small, for what is described. The bigger issue is the whole set does ONE Deck Level board. *grumblegrumblegrumble* I'm looking for second set (just the tiles) on Ebay.

So far all I've found is a Smurf TV tray...

When I bought mine, I literally got it just for the mini's. $100 for 2 squads of termies, a libby, and a captain? Sign me up. I had to get some extra termies to make them legal, but now I've got a SWEET looking BA Termie Army. Well, sweet other than the "no paint" bit.

How did the results go last night.. are the loyalists still cleaning up? I'll have to get the Worldeaters involved here and show those loyalists what a hulk full of berserkers can do..

Playing tonight @ 7. At least 2 games, hopefully 4. That'll double the results so far, and hopefully the seccessionist can make a game of this month.

heheh, sorry to burst your bubble there.

On the bright side, you just avoided an odd conversation about why you aren't at work with your boss and/or wife.
