Prepair for war......in SPACE!

[Jonathan]

Sounds like you guys had a great game!  I'm glad there are other players of this game out there.

So, Rob, interested in a game on Wednesday (23JUL08)?  As I said earlier, I have a game of A&A Minis with Rick planned for that night, but if we start early enough, I can play both.  We could plan for 1,000 points?  Who knows, maybe Jonathan will find his stuff and finally join in.

Jonathan, if you do find your stuff, I could assemble the escorts for you if you like.

Talk to you soon.

   John

No luck with me yet.  It may take awhile to find the stuff but I'm determined to lay a hand on it all.

John: My friend Steve D. has a Space Marine fleet and has been wanting to play.  Not sure of his work schedule, he works a lot during the week, but I think he said he has this Monday off.  Maybe you guys can arrange something, dunno.

Any thoughts about possibly doing a BFG warm up for the Apocalypse battle next year? There will be an Apocalypse battle, right? Please? I think it would make an interesting start, maybe even fight over the same city, see if Chaos can get its poop in a group and crush the scurge on the galaxy that calls itself the Imperium of Man.

[Commissar Grey]

I wouldn't mind doing that.  My chances of participating this year is much better if BFG is played as I have a rather large collection of ships from the Imperium, Chaos and Ork fleets.  Do you play BFG, and if so, which fleet(s)?

uh, i was wondering if someone could explain to me BFG because im very intrsested and possibly start into it.

If you check out my previous post: http://www.battlegroundgames.com/forum/index.php?topic=63.msg698#msg698 you'll find a link to the official website with the rules (rulebook is FREE) and a link to the GW Online Store showing all the models for the fleets.

There is also a Wikipedia article that gives a broad overview (search for Battlefleet Gothic).

However, your best bet is to speak in person with someone who knows how to play or even play a demo game yourself.  I'll be at the store this Wednesday but I don't have my stuff with me (still tracking it down).

I don't want to volunteer anyone but maybe John would be willing to show you or tell you about the game?  He'll be at the store this Wednesday as well.

   In a nut shell, it is a turn based spaceship combat game set in the 40K universe.  Like 40K, you set a points limit to your fleet build with each race choosing from their respective fleet list.  The field of battle will have asteroid fields, dust/gas clouds, planet(s) and moons for terrain.  There are rules for different scenarios so each game will have its own set of victory conditions.

   I'm planning on being at BG this Wednesday (23JUL08) with an ETA of 5-5:30.  If you are around and would like to play a demo or talk about it, let me know.

I'm afraid to play against you?  You're the one only daring to show your face once every two weeks since I'm there so often.

Yeah, but my fleet will still kick your fleet's butt when I'm there.  Sooo, how was Warped Tour?  Hope you had a good time.  Interested in a game?

The brave are the ones who remain steadfast, forcing the enemy to retreat through sheer repetitiveness.  Warped Tour was great, a little wet/tornadoish, but great.  I'm quite interested in playing a game.

[Commissar Grey]

Excellent!!  I'll be there Wednesday in 2 weeks (06AUG08).  Hopefully your fleet will be ready.  How many points would you like to do?  Also, are you available on Mondays?

   John

[Rob S]

Well, I'm getting together another Merchant class, so I can bump my points up a bit.  Probably no more than 1200 or 1300, but it's getting there.  I'll be sure to be there.

And yes, I am generally able to come Mondays.

[Commissar Grey]

Good.  Want to do 1,200 points?

[Rob S]

Sounds like a plan.

[Commissar Grey]

Plan on going against the Imperium.  What time do you think you will arrive?  I'm planning for 5:30 myself.

[Rob S]

I'll make sure I am there before 5:30.  I usually am, anyway.

Imperium, you say?  Well then, it's time to show you the greater good that your emperor cannot understand.

My order is in and the Pirate Raiders have begun refit.
