I'll either have to call in the legions from their off-world assignments, or I'll just have to proxy the models, but, if you want to taste the VAoD, bring some MSG - it'll make it go down a bit better.

Dave you better be bringing some Chinese for dinner, I just want to let you know that General Tsao's chicken and fried rice will do just fine. If you want to throw in some beer that would be excellent too. 

Now how many points should I be building my army for to take down the VaoD?

Steve, you got the VAoD's little brother, the VSoP (Vulkan Squad of Papercuts).  Meanwhile, you brought the MIB, Mr. Smith (and his copies) and the Albino Twins.  Needless to say, I got my arse handed to me.  However, if you, sir, would like your force pixelated - bring it!  The VAoD never runs out of ammo!

As for you...
150 points, artic, blinding snowstorm. ;D
I take no pity on the enemies of Bauhaus freezing their jingle bells off.  If you're thinking that the steam from the Vulkans will keep you warm like a Taun-taun, you'd best hope Han comes looking for you before I find you... :P

well...you know that there are web sites devoted to things like that...

and you can't blur the face out...that just takes all of the shame out of things.
all the same, if you do lose, that means no blurring for you either.

Challenge made and accepted so the fight is on. That being said go out and bust chops rather than depending on luck and the environment to do it for you. I suggest that the level of environmental effects represents a sliding scale of the participant's stones or lack thereof.   :o :P

Game on.  I'll fight that.  I'm just counting on the blinding snowstorm and cold temps to mess with your targeting computers.   :P   The question is should I attack from unseen with my Mishima or bring out the figs with great plummage, Sons of Rasputin, to thrash you accordingly.  ;)

Wow...I thought that this army had had its way with not only players, but the community.  I did not realize as how much of a challenge some have taken it.

Well met, then.  Any and all, here is my projected schedule.

Every first and third Saturdays, I am at the Rogue's Den (www.roguesden.com (http://www.roguesden.com)) from about 2:00 pm on...Every Wednesday, I try to be there as well, in the evening. As for battles in or near Philly, name it, and I will try to attend.

I will always field as many Vulkans as I can for the points, but I leave a little flexibility for the expected terrain/environment.

<----------------(right there, man)   All of the ways to contact me are listed under my avatar.

Question: What enviorment do you want to see used battle VaOD?  (Voting closes: 31 October 2005, 21:58:41)

No effects  1 (9.1%)
Jungle  6 (54.5%)
Arctic  1 (9.1%)
Desert  3 (27.3%)
 
Total Votes: 11
 
There is a huge conception that I hate fighting in the jungle...whod've thought that?  Dodger?  Are you telling folks that I hate the jungle?

You are the one who posted a thread on the old boards "JUNGLE SUCKS!" I leave it to the rest of the people here to translate that. To me, Dessert is a bigger enemy, as you can (and probably will) jam. A jam on those vulcans is NOT a good thing. With jungle, when people appear out of the fog, they are already in optimal range of the vulcans.

All i know, is I'll be there with a camera or 2, and WILL be taking pictures! What I need to know, though, is who's taking odds?

Good Luck to both combatants sounds like it going to be a great game with lots of spectators. I may have to try to get there myself. Should be a close range bloodbath.

I am still waiting on a PC and environment.  Sometimes, it's worth it to spend points on extras, or on upgrading accompanying troops.  When I fought Archer with the VAoD, I had a few medics hanging aroung the Vulkans.  It was great when Archer plugged my Vulkan Sarge with his sniper, only to have my Sarge rise from the dead.

Question:  Vulkans can neither Minimize Presence, nor go Prone.  When they "die" and a medic "revives" them, are they forced to waste an AC to "get up?"

Dave,

I've built my army list for 1000 pts. I suggest you do the same. As for the enviorment we'll see what the polling tells us. And decide from there.

Ah, the VAoD1K - memories...very well, the 4th VALkyries are more than willing.  File the necessary paperwork with the Cartel and make sure that your next of kin are notified (why waste our time doing it for you?).

Hey Andrew! I'll post that battle report on thursday!

Hopefully you'll do better tomorrow than you did with me on Saturday.   :D

Title: Re: Calling out the Vulcan Army of Death
Post by: dmcgee1 on November 01, 2005, 02:18:43 PM
Looks like the polling is telling us that we'll be playing in the Jungle - "and you're gonna diiiiiiieeeeeeeee! In the Jungle, welcome to jungle. It's gonna bring you - down! Huwhuh!"

Okay, then - what Level?  1? 2? 3? Higher?

Let me know...I have tweaking to do before tomorrow night.

@WarlordtheFT  Yes Mark i hope better things come against the Vaod then that debacle that I had with my Capitol against your Cybertronic. All going to say about that battle is Yeah.


And for the rest of you.  The last few things have been ironed out and here's the setting for battle VaoD.

JUNGLE!!! Level 4.

And it's going to be kill them all.  No holds barred..


Let the blood bath commence

Post by: WarlordtheFT on November 01, 2005, 07:52:39 PM
I thought you said each vote for terrain was 1 level. So in this case level 8. Don those portable AC units, Hazmat and rebreather gear!!!  ;D

ALso, I'd expect the venusian rangers to make a showing!!!

That was before we looked at how bad level 8 jungle effects really are.

Ugh...it is with much disdain and disappointment that I inform you all that the battle did not go off.  Unfortunately, I got caught at work, and was unable to show.  My deepest apologies to Andrew (UrbanShocker) and to you all for writing cheks with my trash-talk, only to have work give me an insufficient funds notice.

Andrew, you are welcome to reschedule for anytime you find yourself in the area.  I will request the day off in advance.

Again, my apologies, bud.
