TALAMANIA Poll
« on: April 15, 2007, 06:20:06 PM »
Folks, the only reason I am throwing this poll up here is that I want to be considerate to all involved.  I, myself, prefer a bit of structure, even if it isn't a "tourney."  There will be at least one computer with Army Builder on it to design armies on the fly.  I know that others are showing up just to have fun with folks with whom they like to game.

That said, I want you all to know that I am showing up, and will play whichever way we all decide to throw it down.  My foremost desire is to get together with you, all, and have a fantastic time playing, shooting the breeze, and telling stories afterwards.

Thanks.

I'm not overly fond of the environmental rules since I watched them screw a guy at Origins a couple of years ago.

Hello.

Structure to the event means we have more fun because of less confusion. I personally will have a 750. 1000, and a 1500 point bauhaus romanov list ready for the event. And should have my devout ready by then with as many lists.

I have been "screwed" like that, but still enjoy the rules.  We can, of course, have several tables setup with no environmental rules - plenty of fighting occurs over obtaining choice pieces of real estate!  ;D

Having things set up but with environmental rules optional would work. Have the enviro rules set but then leave it to the players to decide on using them or severity of the enviro rules would be cool

Ill play anyway. Im just looking forward to throwing dice with some great guys and having a good time. The enviro rules add a bit of flavor, like a soulslayer being able to close on a vulkan without getting chewed thanks to a timely FAILED enviro roll  ;D

I have to admit, having your opponent fail an environmental, yet it became an advantage for him, truly, sucked.

PhillySniper and I were doing a cavern fight.  His DL: Muawijhe force against my Bauhaus.  My Vulkans had night vision gear, but were blinded when Bryon failed his enviro roll - critically!  The ground opened up and spewed lava, ash and steam in a 8" radius on his squad leader (a squad of Soulslayers).  My Vulkans couldn't see a thing - except for the claws reaching out of the smoke to kill them (yeah, the soulslayers made their ATS saves).  One of my Vulkans managed a CC kill of one of the Soulslayers, but that was it for me - Bryon won that one, "handily," by blowing an enviro roll, no less!

I won't even get into why one should never take Vulkans underground.
