nerdelemental Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 (edited) RIW Hobbies, Livonia, MI presents: Hold Your Ground Feb 6th, 2010 10am-7pm Format- Hold Your Ground: This will be a continuous play event, as soon as your match finishes, another will start. If you win on a table you will continue to defend that table with that list until you lose. Non-defending players will be able to switch lists and even factions between matches. Proxies will be allowed for unreleased miniatures only. Each table will have a set location that will not change for the duration of the day, Scenarios and Random Events will be chosen at random as described in the rulebook. Crew size- 35ss Prizes- MVP (Most Victory Points), Beatstick (Most Wins), Gremlin (Worst VP:Match Average), other random sweetness too, maybe! Entry Fee- 5$ Prizes to be determined, but expect $100 or more in prize support regardless of turnout! example of play: At the beginning of the event, each table will be set up and labeled with an appropriate location as per the locations in the book. Each player will be randomly assigned to a table and each player will randomly draw for encounter or events and strategies as per the book. When the game ends, the loser will pick up his gear and will wait for the first available table - as another game finishes, this player will move to that table and confront the previous winner. The winner of a table will use the same list he won with while the newcomer will have the opportunity to rebuild an appropriate list for the table. Breaks between rounds will be available - just remember that at the end of the day the person with the most VP wins the gold! Maverickman and I will provide additional opposition so the tables will be in constant rotation and no one should be without an opponent. Don't think for a second that he or I will pull our punches, though! If you want the VP from our games, you've gotta earn 'em!

mbowsher76 Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 The Jackson Crew will definitely be there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DireTrollJake Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Well I will likely be hired in soon, meaning no definite weekends or first shift anymore so I won't know if I can make it until Monday/Tuesday of the prior week. Count me in as a an almost definite maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperbag4 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 That's sufficiently before the Bar Exam that I feel I can take a day off from studying, and close enough that I'll need one. I guess I'll only be bringing one list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Sucks that I'll be out in California for a school. Was looking forward to bringing the Good'ol Boys again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorik36 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Do you look at my schedule and find the dates already full? I guess I get to pass on another tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerdelemental Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Do you look at my schedule and find the dates already full? I guess I get to pass on another tournament. Like you ever play this game.... Starting to look like a batch of the locals have some plans for this weekend. Can't make it the following, though. Nor the third weekend as it's a MAOW meet. Mostly, it looks like some of you just suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DireTrollJake Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Well, I got my raise and cross training starts tomorrow...so my schedule is all jacked now. Worst case, I can try and give away the hours which really should not be an issue. I'll change my status to a definite maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DireTrollJake Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Oh, and expect to see me fully painted. More than halfway there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorik36 Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Like you ever play this game....Hey! I have played it three times. Well, two of those were with the Beta rules that really don't look like what the finished product was so I guess I have played it once. Way more times then I have played Aeronef, Wargods, and about a dozen other miniature games I own figures for. Ouch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverickman5 Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Oh, and expect to see me fully painted. More than halfway there! LIES!!!!

DireTrollJake Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 No no lies. Painted Warpig, 4 Piglets, Convict Gunslinger, Grave Spirit and a Hog Whisperer last weekend. Now, I get out at 3 30 today and have 2 days off. What else am I to do with a Thurs/Fri off!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fool Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I'm out also. My brother is coming to visit me that weekend. Of course maybe his house needs some sittin.....? That sounds like a cool format, wish we had a henchman over here:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerdelemental Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Yeah! The Chicago/Milwaukee area is starving for henchmen! You Jackson boys playing? Rumor has it that I'll be twisting Mav's arm to run it for a while so I can play a bit! You Nancy's are in hella trouble. I'm thinking of pushing some Outcast lovin' your way for my first table. Of course....my first table will most likely be my last table, too....I'll be "defending" it all day, no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmp_mydog Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 I might be able to swing this one. Just have to double check the schedule, if I do come I'll bring some of my own tables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerdelemental Posted February 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Dude, you have GOT to come out. I'd love to play on one of your new tables. They're hawt. Will you be bringing any of the paperbags? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmp_mydog Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 I think Brian has class, waiting to see if Chuck or Greg can make it. Right now I think I have Saturday free, but have to check with the wife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerdelemental Posted February 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 wives suck (not how you're thinking, either - more in the "life right out of you" kind of way). Is this a Superbowl weekend, too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmp_mydog Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Indeed it is, which could complicate the matter further. I can usually squeeze 2 game day/nights out of a week which is pretty reasonable, more then that gets into selfish territory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
