OldManMyke Posted January 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 To prevent any confusion I have written the rules pack for the event already. This enables folks to vote with their wallets and keeps everything clear and above board https://www.dropbox.com/s/5rqe79vg5r5afs3/Rules%20Pack%202016.pdf?dl=0 There might be slight tweaks but fundementally this is what we will be playing and how we will be playing it post any qustions here and i will do my best to answer them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oshova Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 I must say, I like the use of 3 fixed lists instead of the Trinity. Especially not knowing the Strats and Schemes beforehand. I may be tempted to try that... Although I don't know what my 3rd faction would be... Are there any plans for an organised evening event, like the 2014 GT? It was something I missed last year. There's been plenty of things done at the GTs, and other weekend events over the years, and I think those are the kind of things that have really helped the community grow to where it is today. Obviously it was much easier to organise things when the GT was only 40 people... It's a lot harder to get 100 people into a restaurant for a meal for example =p Other than that, spot prizes and a raffle. Give random awesomeness away to people no matter how well they have done. Obviously there is a time constraint, and they can tend to drag on. So maybe do a raffle Saturday night, or do the randomisation across the 2 days to spread out the fun... there's a solution there somewhere I think. Anyway, I hope this will be as big a success as it can be! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonahmaul Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Looks interesting, need to get my paint on but plenty of time before then. Interested in the various different formats, how likely do you think people are to declare fixed list/triple fixed? Seems especially hard when you don't know at least the strats in advance. I like the two hour rounds a lot though as I dislike it when you feel rushed and that is generally plenty of time to get a game finished.

OldManMyke Posted January 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 I honestly think you will see a lot of both because there is another shiny trophy to aim for. I was surprised at the number of Crossroads 7 players at the last one but they all seemed to have a great time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldManMyke Posted January 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Rules pack has been updated slightly to clarify a few things, you can see the changes as I have highlighted them in a nice yellow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katadder Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 hmm interested, especially in fixed crew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adran Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Nooooo... I can enter Multiple tables. Now I need to make Multiple Tables! I think this is looking good. I'm fairly sure that there will be a few fixed lists there. And there will probably be some in contention for top places. I think the altered Trinity will interest some people, and I don't think it is so powerful that they will be doing better than if they just played single faction, which is I guess what we want. Interesting, but probably not an over powered option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thingster Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 It goes without saying that I'll be there (someone's got to carry the bags). Might even have models painted by then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayne Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 If you go fixed list/fixed triple list/single master, how much information do you announce at the "Declare Faction" step of beginning a game? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldManMyke Posted January 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Updated this morning to show that you just declare Faction for all crew construction methods 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldManMyke Posted January 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 there is always one. You would declare the faction that you are going to use in that game. Is it really that unclear? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sybarite Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 So how does one travel to Daventry? Whats the closest airport? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayne Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 1 hour ago, Sybarite said: So how does one travel to Daventry? Whats the closest airport? It's fairly central in the UK but doesn't have a train station close by. Birmingham International and East Midlands Airports are pretty much equally close at a 50 minute drive. Getting to the actual venue may be an issue, it's out of town and Daventry does not have a train station any more (nearest is Long Buckby about 6 miles away). That being said, there's several local players and I reckon we can sort lifts out closer to the time. I'll be heading down from Coventry each day (30 minutes away) and will have space in my car for some people to jump in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerHarris Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Pretty much what Graeme said. Birmingham International has train links to both Long Buckby for Daventry, and Rugby and Northampton as fallback places to stay and drink. I'd recommend aiming for that airport if you don't have a waiting car. Taxi from Long Buckby station to the venue will be around £14. Northampton and Rugby are major towns and they're around half an hour away. I know there'll be at least 4 cars coming from Northampton (one of them being mine) with space if people need a lift.
