Like told Iron panda "play, have fun, paint along the way"
What level of Arctic conditions are we going to use?
Serge
If you want a real deal on the stuff call in on the Saturday before and get John to leave a note for me. I'll then give you whatever you two agreed on in terms of discount.
Hey Iron Panda
let me know how many points your army adds up to.
I'll have something ready by the 8th to play against.
still want to face the peacekeepers or should I bring something else to play
I might try the Dogs of War again, or put together those Mishima, to see how they work out
this reminds me of a old world war 2 movie where GI's come up with a plan to steal nazi gold from a german bank.
Quotethis reminds me of a old world war 2 movie where GI's come up with a plan to steal nazi gold from a german bank.Kelly's Heroes! A funny war movie with a great cast of characters. Gotta check out Donald Sutherland, he's blasted out of his skull in that one.
I look forward to watching this game and injecting much smacktalk.
800pts it is
unless someone objects.
just re-read my post.
It is kinds like watching saturday morning cartoon.
Right, keep all 3 armies busy by while staying alive myself. :o Sure, no problem.I believe you can do it
SERGE
I think Demnogonis would be a good army to beat on the maiden Mishima. :)
*tries to hide his disinfectant and secret bleach launchers*
Yes, come into my beautiful web, filthy one!
Drop Pod? you sure it is not Drop Pods? Just 1 pod?
The school of magic taught me that if u can use 1 then 4 is even better... unfortunately, it would be difficult to field 4 drop pods in a 1000 pt game. I would probably go with 3 and I cleaned out John's drop pods... :P
I actually wrote a scenario based on the fluff story of the Zephyr. I called the scenario "An Ill Wind" and it involved the Zephyr re-entering the solar system. It turned out that the computer virus caused the ship's computer to think it was a Nepharite and it created it's robot legions to defend itself. If everyone would like I can post it.
LOS meets WARZONE
would be.....I really dont have the words.
it..it would just rock
question: the machines would fit very nicely into the warzone framework but how would the other armys play being that everyone is in power armor or is just easier to drop the whole power armor angle.
I always thought a kool edition to warzone gaming engine would be a LOS rulebook.
Worlds dont have to meet in the fluff but both would use the same rules (cant you tell I'm a bit of old LOS fan)
1. Mom and her baby carriage running away from slavering necromuntants and getting back in their path, while being ignored.
2. A cameraman crushed by a paradeploying Praetorian Stalker. His last footage was a huge metal shod boot getting bigger and bigger....
3. A brave female marketing exec fending off blows from same Stalker and living to tell the tale.
Don't forget the two little children looking to COBRA for protection...
I got a silly question.
Does maplewood hobby do online orders ???
What's the address ??
Thanks,
Jim A.
I sent an e-mail asking about some mini's i was looking for, but got no response.

I would love to go there and play some warzone......but it's a really long drive in my non existant car from san diego (CA). ;D
but if you could PM me the store's phone number i'll be happy to phone in an order after i get paid on monday.
Not to mention someone wouldn't share their love... Making me go after them really is a pain especially when someone is under a time constraint...

Chronopia will be next...
That game rocks! the DL really gave the corporates a good thrashing. Quick highlights: the Voice of Demnogonis popped out of the rubble and made a squad of Imperials doubt the validity of their existence causing havoc and panic checks all around. Hordes of Praetorian Stalkers dropping down near enemy lines and decimating both Imperials and Capitols. (Man! I love those Stalkers!!)
Awesome game! Definitely more to come!QuoteChronopia will be next...
How about it guys? A Maplewood Hobby Chronopia campaign sounds good.
You forgot about the Hurricane Walker was about to stump on your Stalkers... Not to mention the DL player was very cruel to dogs... SIGH, those monsters...
Do not worry. Soon we will rescue our beloved Baroness, and then take over the World(s)!
Hey archer you want in this
you final can play that brotherhood force. ;D

I am going to be in Reading this weekend cleaning the house to move in. Otherwise I would soooooooooo be in for this.
'Hood or maybe some special cargo in the hold of the ship... of the kind that has lots of claws. :) Btw- you want the (adjusted) stats on those guys again?
( I know jibba and john will be there, they are always there :P )
I'm seeing if serge wants to play. (hell he has to be there to open the store).
if not either me, you, or john (depending how early he can make it) could beat scotts army silly
""From the Darkest night they Come"
thanks to the spy station " The Rock " the base was given full warning.
Lock down and load up. Dark Legion is coming and their coming Tonight!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
ok when Dark Legion lost the battle "between the rock and a dark place" they lost the ability to land a surpise attack on mars. knowing this the legion is attacking at night hoping to use the darkness to their advantage, But the base knows their coming is able to quickly prepare defences.
Forces: Dark Legion (iron panda) Captiol(philly) or if philly cant make it which ever army scott wants to play with :P
rules: night fighting and scenerio one: Hold the line.
changes: defender 900pts
attacker 1400pts. Reason for the point change is I feel night rules swings to the attackers favor..Of course I could use some input on this.
also inside the base night rules are ignored due to spot lights
setup 2/3 rds little cover, open ground. 1/3rd is defenders base set up sandbags and makeshift barriers with a base building or two.
tell me what you guys think.
I think the defender should get night vision gear for free since they know they are going to be hit. ;D
I dont mind not using the NVGs. I just hope his Stalkers are up to a little tsate of Orca power ;D After reading the scenario over, The defender gets hard cover as long as he is in the fortress is that correct?

If you are going to negate night rules with spotlights in the camp then that would limit or ruin the effectiveness of the night vision equipment for troops in or near the camp. The troops using them would be in effect snow blind as the NVG's would gather in all the available light and white out.
I'd suggest using trip flares or if those aren't in the rules (been too long since my last night fight) combining the rules for flares and minefields to represent trip flares. These little booby traps would cause the approaching enemy to reveal their position - when triggered they would fire a flare that would illuminate the position.
Allow the defender to set ambushes. If you are using deployment cards then allow an extra dummy for each ambush set. If not have the defender note and show to the Judge a diagram the planned ambush. A tree or other nonthreatening terrain piece could represent the ambush point. When the ambush is triggered then set the troops in and let 'em rip. To represent the ambushers advantage allow the ambushers to deploy on wait.
I'll re-add it to the list....too much to do - I may have to quit my job to keep all my hobby commitments ;D
LOS/Warzone would be cool !!!
Do you happen to have the forces from Planetstorm, or is it just the LOS box ??
I ask because I have a good size selection of Infranites.

All this smack talk's riling up my Stalkers! They will be bringing more friends into the scenario...
And also, the beautiful CSA-404, favourite close combat weapon of the Mirrormen, has residual damage only against mortal models. Against a corporate foe, it is not a problem, but the Praetorian Stalkers are necrobiotic creatures.
Hello,
Were you playing with special home rules? I ask the question because I noticed that there are only Elite troops in the Cybertronic army, which is not legal in a normal game.
Congratulation to all the players involved in the saga, and special thanks for Masherking for the background of each battle. I hope to read you soon.
Yes, the story is great... almost to much...
first the bad guys win shock and now this utterly horrible "cultural thing".. sharp story
I got Buahaus. 600 or 650? Why Bauhaus tho? The only thing that I dont have is the cartel. I can help out with Cobra or Dark Legion.
Can you survive the terrible traps and perils of, THE TERRORDROME!?!?!!
(I actually have a cunning plan for this scenario, I'll explain it further on Sunday)
What happens at THE TERRORDROME stays at THE TERRORDROME.
damn straight
I need to get my Assault marines together, since I really want to try them out.
Sure thing. I'll play Bauhaus. I guess I have no choice but to play the jungle commandos... 600 or 650 pts?
Now all I have to do is convince Serge to stay away from the table.
How many times are we going to get into an arguement about CC?
I'm betting on at least 5 times.
It's for the best, really.
we don't need another nerve gas incident.
I gotta get up there for some games. Are any of you guys available other than Sat and Suns?
I was actually coming up with some vague "campaign Point" rules for the campaign.
Basically, whenever a faction (Corporation or DL faction) wins a scenario, they get a certain number of points that can be spent on future scenarios, for things like buying Barbed wire so it doesn't need to come out of your build point total, to limited contol over a scenario, reinforcements, etc. I figure with enough points, you can shift allegiences between factions, so you could build your army from different Corporations or somesuch.
(example: Capitol wins enough scenarios to be able to "buy" an alliance with Mishima. For the next few scenarios, Capitol forces [regardless of player] can take Mishima units in their army build)
I figure this, combined with the narrative connection between scenarios, would make for some interesting strategies.

yeah we missed you on sunday.
Poor iron panda was soooo looking into beating you.
bad phillysniper
bad phillysniper
thats ok we know the scenerio was too scary for you
:P
I like where your going with this.
I like buying barbed wire (and similar things ) and reinforcements.
Not sure about getting units off list (this can lead into serious game balance issues)
-though might change my mind on this...hmmmmm
wonder what people here in forum think.
how would you make this work? or drop the idea?
what do you all think?
Yeah I found out I had to work on Sunday late Sat nite. As far as Panda goes...He beat Dave because he blinded him with all that unpainted metal on the table Ill make sure to wear shades when I play him I know he was sobbing with relief when I didnt show
BEWARE!!!!!
I will rescue AGENT NICK MICHEALS
and how he will make all pay MUHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
I have great an glorious plan oh yes I do
prepare for the kind of Justice that come from Cartel agents well polish boot
OOOoohhhh YEeaahhhhh !!!!
.You might as well change your clan name to Purina.
cut deep..... like a mouth full of Milk Bone scented teeth!!!
AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!
@*&#@*^## Stupid Home Depot and DIY projects!!!!!
The scenario was so much fun!! To think, I could have unleashed my Semai Heritics and my oh-so beautiful Stalkers into the mix!!!
I'm so in for Chronopia. I'll bring the 500 pts and I'm also good for warzone for the hot DL on DL extravaganza.
What Warzone scenario are we doing? kids vs dogs vs faceless?
How about a Dark Eden scenario?
How about a Dark Eden scenario?
Just about done with my mad max army.
Then all about doing some dark eden :)
All I need is 8 more wolfbairn, 3 wolfbarin leaders , 1 to 2 head hunters. and the list should be done.
thinking of adding berserkers ( + if I have too I can proxie the needed wolfbarin). I figure one more weekend of raiding the warzone stock at the store would do it :)
In that case, let me go thru my Wolf Pack stuff and see what I need and what I have for trade. I know I could use another head hunter chieftain or is it berserker?
After you have completed your acquisition, we can do a Wolf Pack scenario.

that was the plan for next week.
I know steve is also working on a wolfpack army too.
I wanted to do scenerios on dark eden (barter town anyone :) ) and on "The Imperial held moon that I cant spell right (geadmyne??!??)".
I will be unable to attend today, as both mine, and my mothers cars are in the shop. :(
Play on, my friends, play on.
I will return, though, with a furious vengance!
Iron Panda,
I'm recalculating your force that you played today and I dont think you have 1000pt
250 = Heartguard - 6/1/1
176 = Warhounds - 8
075 = Hunter - 1
080 = Wyrd - 1
278 = Blade Maden 5/1
-----------------------------
749
I know you bought spell for the Wyrd but you still short. Unless I left something out?
Oh man, looks like a missed a bunch of good games. :(
Oh well, next week, I shall expose you all to the might of Horrorclix Cthulhu!

bro you would of loved the game John and I played.
just watching the Stalker go bat nuts and take names was to kool for words.
then the last bauhaus warrior on the table to end the game unhinged.
it was almost poetic.
I would definitely use one of the scenarios from Legions of Steel. The layouts are provided and all you have to do is put it together and deploy. Using the tiles from LoS and the rules from Warzone makes for some kick-ass indoor scenarios.
As for the prizes I would tie this scenario into the next one as you have been doing. If the Cartel wins they get Nick back before Cobra interrogators break him. If Cobra wins then Nick breaks under intense interrogation and reveals a secret that will result in Cobra having an advantage during the next game - possibly during set up. Killing Nick basically ends the campaign before it is all played out.
Possibilities for the next scenario:
- the Cartel has discovered the location of a secret meeting of Cobra bigwigs and thanks to Nick's information Cobra can reinforce the security and turn the tables on the Cartel.
- the Cartel has a top secret base where they are developing a new super weapon. Cobra now has the location and can assault the base to steal the weapon. The info Nick has provided has given them an advantage. to represent this the Cartel may not use deployment cards - they must deploy the actual figs.
- Nick revealed several of the Cartel's long range plans and Cobra is now offering these plans to any Corporation wanting to meet their price. Excellent potential for a multi-player game.
Thanks. You've inspired me to run a Warzone Campaign this fall. I need to outline the storyline and then begin arranging the scenarios.

The suspense and drama of the Maplewood Saga would be hard to even come close too but I will try.
I'm gonna bring my Warzone stuff and my BFG stuff, I'm sure I can do both.
Maybe try out my Imperial army.... Yay golden lions and their SMGs!
Kinda reminds me of the initiative system for Planetstorm
You take everyones force cards give them a good mix. Then flip the top card..thats the unit that activates. Repaeat till the deck runs out.
Some historical games do something similar and I believe its also in one of the rulebooks.
Makes for a kool game. It adds a nice touch of chaos to the turn order with no hassle and speeds up game play. I would say for people to give it a try; I like it alot.
The one about the force cards I would have really wish for was generic backs on the cards :P
Things I learned:
Stealth is neat...need to learn how to use this better.
keep my bikes back till the army is in the thick of it, then rush them in, not before. :'(
I love my headhunters. They are so sweet....maybe I'll try berserkers against Jibbas marines and see how they do.
Man I got my butt kicked in this game ouch!
First time using wolfpack troops. I think I have a bit of a learning curve with this army.
Not to take anything away from Jibba he beat me hands down.

One thing I learn about myself is I'm not use to people having more units then me :P
being out actived is something I have to get use too.
I like the wolfpack army. Plays very different from my cartel and Dark legion armies.
Need to figure out a way to use them against Jibbas very shooty Captiol....Damn marines.
Good game Jibba
Next time I'll be ready.
Did you buy any smoke grenades for your Wolfbane? or you just have the wolfbairn?
Did you buy any smoke grenades for your Wolfbane? or you just have the wolfbairn?
I had 2 squads of Wolfbairn
1 squad of headhunters
1 squad of fenris bikes
1 charcter.
hindsight beign 20/20
In playing the game I finally can see the use of SA warcry.
and smoke would have been very helpfull
How many points?
I brought 750pt with me.
2 Sqaud (1 medium, 1 small) of Wolfbanes with HMG.
1 Squad of Woflbairn.
With 2 Smoke grenades and 1 suppression grenades (point filler).
I figure I'll approach my target in stealth (half movement) mode. When I'm not, the sergent will pop smoke grenades to give me cover and hopefully that will be enough for me to get close and start the slaughering. Both Wolfbanes and Wolfbairn dont do enough damage tho. Anyway, that's my strategy.

Sounds like a workable plan.
I find wolfbairn die easily to rilfe fire so smoke is a big help.
4" move is a big help.
I think leader with warcry can be useful. HMG is a must because by themselves (wolfbarins at least) dont dish out alot of damage , except for the wolfbarin leader (I was sold with killing stroke). I think wolfpack armies backbone are their elite choices, an odd army for me because I play very grunt heavy armies. Its the elites ,damage combined with their SA, that can dish out the serious hurt. At least thats what I think after the first game.
My main wolfpack army is pack with as many bikes, necromowers and vermins I cram into my army List.
I havent played this list yet, Quite curious to see how it will do.
Looking forward to playing this army and trying to make it work.
Invest in a couple of Vermin APC's and after you form fireteam with the heavies rush them forward in the transports to a defensive position and then use them to provide overwatch for the APC's while they bring up the rest of the Wolfbanes.
Dont have an APC. Got a Grizzily tho...Invest in a couple of Vermin APC's and after you form fireteam with the heavies rush them forward in the transports to a defensive position and then use them to provide overwatch for the APC's while they bring up the rest of the Wolfbanes.
Hmmm... note to self:
Rocket Launchers
:)

Not so sure if RL will help. Since Wolf pack is close range and rocket is unusable in CC,PB and SR, flamer might be a better choice or HMG...
But you have to spot'em first...
Here is a question, if I'm MP while in Stealth, how fast am I moving?Hmmm... note to self:
Rocket Launchers

Ya darn tootin' I do.
Dont have an APC. Got a Grizzily tho...
I'm thinking of bringing the Penal Legion with me this sunday (Freedom Brigades and Free Marines... maybe A Great Grey to keep 'em in line)
Prepare for Operation: PAWN SACRIFICE.
I can play Dark Eden (Lutheran, Temlars or Crescentians) or Dark Legion. Cartel is on its own, I guess? Wait, Masher, you the only one that has cartel...
Maybe 750? I may not be able to finish 1000pt game espeically with 4 or 5 people game...
Use force card?
The Idea: Snake WayMy first thought is that forcing the attacker to assault the train while moving allows the defender to have too many advantages. Defenders will have hard cover from the train cars, and be at minuses to hit for fast moving targets. Once the attackers are onboard these advantages will be negated but it will be a bear to board.
Cobra has few camps on Dark Eden (who doesn’t) and have been using an old railroad system to move supplies, people, and weapons between them. The Locals call it "Snake Way". Some Locals/Corporations get in there head to rob the train between camps.
My thoughts:
1. The terrain would be set up like a train with inside map of the cars and outside map of on top of the cars. The train is motion the whole time.
2. If you fight on the roof and suffer a knock down affect (some weapons and abilities can do this) you might fall off and die.Actually any weapon hit would cause a check for falling. Balance on a train would be tricky and the impact of high caliber rounds even if it bounces off would be a severe hazard. I’d recommend a LD check as it would measure if the fig reacted fast enough to grab onto something and save himself. Failure would be falling off the train which regardless of survival would put them out of the game.
3. Loot counters you can escape safe off the train with or kill everyone onboard, stopping the train and unload at your leisure. Or you could drive up a transport and throw the loot over to it while the train is moving.Good idea – it gives a reason to assault the train.
4. Maybe a turn limit. The train route is only so long before it makes it to the Cobra base.A turn limit could work but I would probably run this as a variation of the Convoy Scenario provided in the UWZ book. Put 2 or 3 tables together lengthwise and assign the train a movement value. These tables represent the area where the train can safely be assaulted. While in this area the train is too far from a Cobra checkpoint to receive support. At the end of every turn move the train marker that many inches to the far table edge. When the train reaches the far edge of the board the assault must be broken off.
I don’t know but I think this would fun. What do guys think?Excellent scenario. Please be sure to include it in the Maplewood Saga Reports. May I run it around here – giving you the writing credit of course?

Defenders will have hard cover from the train cars, and be at minuses to hit for fast moving targets. Once the attackers are onboard these advantages will be negated but it will be a bear to board.
The obvious answer is to find a way to level the playing field. Possibilities would include:
- Having the troops board from a trestle or bridge as the train goes under it
- Having them jump aboard as the train comes out a tunnel.
- Having the troops in a ravine near a steep upgrade and rush the train while it slowed.
o greasing the rails would help

Alas sooooo many games soooooo little time. having that necromunda itch lately isnt helping
The train idea is sweet!
When will the scenario be set up?QuoteAlas sooooo many games soooooo little time. having that necromunda itch lately isnt helping
Yup! I know the feeling. I'm having that gaming itch lately after some time off. As for Necromunda, my Goliaths are busy hitting the gym and practicing their Schwarzenneger accents.
Come to think of it, Saturday and Sunday gaming extravaganza once a month at Maplewood would rock!

I'm sure we can find a way.
I still need to come up with the Warzone chariot rules.
Can't you just adapt the rules for chariots from Chronopia?

So far the rules seem pretty coherent - I'm thinking of putting together two teams and giving them a complete run thru and if the gang catches on to them I'll start running it at Cons.

"The individual known as Destro is an independant arms dealer whom the Cartel suspects has been providing weapons to malcontents and insurgents all over the Solar System, although to date, none of this can be proved. His full name is James McCullen Destro XXIV. He is the 24th Laird of Clan Destro, a small family once aligned with Imperail until it was discovered that a member of the family was supplying weapons to both sides of the civil conflict now referred to in Imperial circles as the Sad Struggle. That member was forced to wear a painful mask. Subsequent generations have taken to wearing the mask upon inheriting the title of Laird as a badge of honor rather than discrace. In addition, the current Destro has formed his own organizaiton, The Iron Grenadiers. He is thought to have ties to the baroness. This is the only known picture:"

Not to speak for JJW but when I asked him for the parameters for the figure he wanted it to have an M-89 (or similar) so that it could be an Assault Marine Captain. The Iron Grenediers are probably going to be Assault Marines. Bear in mind the core list is based off of Capitol.
Destro: independant arms dealer , brotherhood inquisitor, cobra 2nd in commanded and baroness main squeeze...who says you cant have it all ;)perhaps you should drop the brotherhood inquisitor..
either that or Dr. Mindbender.....hmmmmm mindbender with access to the arts.
What was the Destro converted from and what is the big honkin gun he is holding?
no flatscreen? ;)
Hmmm.... Major Bludd, eh? He could work as a Grey Ghost, perhaps....
It's ok. I'm a font of useless GI Joe Trivia. :)
...sad really.

Quick Test - Who supplied the voice for Flint's little brother who was a member of the Joe Team and given to Sgt Slaughter to straighten out?
On a lark... 'cause I am bored...
General Lawrence J Flagg- original CO. Bludd whacked him during escape.
Admiral Evertt "Keel-Haul" Colby
General "Iron Butt" Austin
General Joseph "GI JOE" Colton- the Original GI Joe and current commander of the GI Joe Team
Brigadier General Clayton "Hawk" Abernathy - Former commander of Team.
Chief Warrant Officer 2 Dashiell "Flint" Faireborn
Chief Warrant Officer 3 William F. "Wild Bill" Hardy - Mr "I can't fly a chopper with out wrecking it."
Col. Brekhov- CO of the Oktober Guard (KIA)
LT Gorky- Traitor turned repentant. (KIA)
Karma and my pen bowed in respect!
Man, I can't believe I forgot Flint was an officer. He's been pretty grubby since Lady Jaye got gakked.
Yeah, she got stabbed through her diaphram by a member of the Red Shadows (Hey look, we're more EEEEEVIL then COBRA) with a piece of car wreckage. It was definately one of those moments where you realized that GI Joe was a pretty gritty world. (Until the latest Snake Eyes [Boo Hiss] storyline)
God I hate Snake Eyes.
Which one is Snake Eyes - Is he the ninja dude who is either a brother or best friend to the COBRA ninja way back when they were both students at the dojo ala countless sappy Kung Phooey flix?
By the by, I always had the hots for Lady Jay.
Hello.
Car wreckage would suggest an explosion, she may have been stunned at the time. It would be a real shame if she was killed by some stupid "right in front of you" crud.
wmeredith.
Sounds more like a morality story about road rage. The kind of thing that at the end someone would say "and now we know" and a bleeding and dying Lady Jayne croaks "and knowing is half the ba...*"
I figured since we like playing on the Urban board, might as well give us a fluff reason to fight. :)
Okay guys-how about a frakin' update? Did Nick Michaels ever get rescued?Yes he did battle report on page 30.
Will Cobra Commander get his revenge?Theres been no word on the Commander.....hmmmmmmmmm
What about Lord Humongous and that Brotherhood Renegade on Dark Eden?
[li]Honestly didnt think people were still waiting for updates...i also liked your campain. since it was going on it felt like a "scene" of wz players..
Are you guys doing anything this Sunday at maplewood?
Are you running any of your scenarios?
What would work well and how many points?
What point range are you looking for?
I know I am speaking for Lord H when I say
"Paint is not required for their death!"
Hello.
Then we shall show the filthy gaijin our spirit and steel.

Hello.

wmeredith
You got that right -- they will see your spirits leave your bodies and your steel shall be take as war trophies and displayed on their walls. ;D
You're getting in after 30+ pages - you are way behind the smack power curve so I thought I'd give an assist. :D
Doh!,
Just got into the bloodbowl frame of mind and have an entire team primed! Oh well, THE WARZONE MAPLEWOOD SAGA awaits!
Hmmm, DL, Bauhaus, or Cartel...(yes, Cartel! Got a whole background for them. Cross between, http://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/originals/the_shield/ and http://www.delta-green.com/home.html. More on the former, though, don't want them to get all geeky, though)
If you have a senario thats jungle/underground/interior of ship I have a 1200 pt Mauwijhe Monster army Karno's, Soulslayer's, Slaughter Master, Ezoghoul's or I can bring a 1000 to 2000 pt Semai Inflitration Force whole army infiltrates except support units which Stalk. I will also have up to 1400 pts of Cartel. Plus I will have Bloodbowl with me.

Smack talk? I am just giving out some friendly taps is all . Later comes smake talk after I flay lord humungus and hang his hide on the gates of my estate. I would cut his hands off but Panda already did that.
wmeredith. :P
Sounds Sweet! If there are composition problems, I'm sure they can be bent if all agree for the sake of a good story.
My max Monster Army contains 28 Karnophages, 10 Soulslayers, 2 Slaughter Masters and 2 Ezoghouls. It's more like a force from an Alien Movie.
Must...have...battle...reports! :o
Must...have...battle...reports! :o

I can do a rematch with you to Panda. Jibba and Masherking aren't the only players up at maplewood. I can come up sunday for a game. Just tell me how many points you want and I can bring my bauhas up.

Hmmm...
***
"Mace?!?"
"What?"
"Do you have that Tactical team of yours operational yet?"
A snort. "Sure do.. Why?"
"Get to the motor pool and take a 'hawk to the following location- there was a crash of some sort of fightercraft being fired on and it appears some corporations are interested. See if you can get to it before them."
"Right."
***
If I can make it on sunday or next weekend, I will. Otherwise... Evening of Talamania I. Sound fair?
Coral Beach will be making an appearance on sunday. 8) 8) 8)
I think your non-warzone battle report is great but I notice you did'nt post 1 here. ;) Coral Beaches Cybertronic Force destroyed the Child Army oy Illian. Only 1 Panicked Child survived by running off the table. :'( It was a Fun and Funny Great game. Both teams had a little over 1000 pts: The Cybertronic Force consisted of:
Coral Beach
Cyril Dent
Dr. Diane
Surveiller
Chasseurs:1Sgt+5Troop+1RL w/AP Squad had Steelskin
Chassuers:1Sgt+5Troop+1Sniper Squad had Steelskin and laser optics
Mirrormen: 7 Troop with Steelskin and Torso Enhancement
Attila: 3 Troop+1 Scorpion w/AP
Masher will have to post his Army.

You could bring them, but I don't know if you're ready to start being humiliated again.

All n' All I see alot warzone being played ;D
