just fyi, we get 4000km free on the rental, and then its 0.18/km after that. i'm fairly sure we can get it done in under 4k km unless we somehow end up in vegas on the way back.

Thanks Mike and Mark for doing all the finding of vehicles and whatnot. I am with Mark that we should be find with the sedan and the insurance is indeed a no-brainer. I think you are correct on the $95 entry fee Mark for the tournament.

Clearly we also need to do a day or two of practice games with their mission sets. Razz

Well i wont have all the models i need for awhile though i suppose i could proxy, just lemme know when you guys are down to try out a few scenarios Smile

Also thanks Mike and Mark for arranging/looking into those things, both sounds right on the money to me.

Getting excited guys. Put together a wave serpent with scatterlasers, star engines (from the fireprism kit) and holofields Very Happy

Soon the painting will commence! Though i should probably finish the test guardian first to make sure the color scheme/technique i had planned out works.

Please do Dan. What are our different route options?

We've gone the edmonton route on the past. Its a bit.longer.. But i found traffic alot quieter. Hard to say now though.. That was ten years ago.

Rhaevyn Wed Jun 26, 2013 10:13 am

Edmonton route is less stressful as its divided highway a good portion of the way. I'm ok with either. I'll probably do a majority of the driving unless someone else wants it.
My longest stint is driving from Saskatoon to Canora ontario in one day. (and one tank of fuel, i'll miss that car)

I don't mind taking a driving shift if you get tired.

System Commander Wed Jun 26, 2013 10:26 am

One tank.. Yowza!

Yeah.. That makes.sense now on the edmonton route. My friend lived in vancouver for about five years and would come home.occasionally for weekend trips. She'd do it.non stop in one trip and always take the edmonton route.

Ive got no personal experience though.. Im a turn a one day trip into 3 kinda guy.. Smile

Goodn luck though guys.. Sounds like a ton o fun.

IA units allowed at Astronimcon?

under warlord traits, they list this tidbit :

EXCEPTION: Zhufor the Impaler, Lord of the Skulltakers (IA7: The Siege of Vraks – Part Three, p.174) Select a different Warlord Trait from the Personal Traits table in the main Rulebook.

but nowhere else does it list what is and isnt allowed for play.

If IA is allowed, then i have a completly different list in mind.

Deadlytoaster Mon Jul 01, 2013 1:52 am

Click on the tournament rules tab on the top of the page, scroll down. Those books listed are allowed. http://www.astronomi-con.com/ So yes looks like most IA is allowed.

Rhaevyn Mon Jul 01, 2013 1:55 am

heh. i faill at internets. i kept thinking that i had to use one of the drop-down menus. never actually clicked on rules

Planes Mon Jul 01, 2013 10:02 am

Fall of Orpheus is allowed? That's an attention getter right there!

Rhaevyn Mon Jul 01, 2013 3:28 pm

Looks like they are even allowing experimental rules, as they provided a link to the FW page.

Shiney. Tom if you are interested that would potentially make 6 of us. We could do that in a van or 2 cars.
