Hey guys, after the success of the DaBoyz 8th Edition event I have decided to run a small event at Just Games in Rochester.
www.justgamesrochester.com/
Date: TBA (looking at a Saturday in February)
Time: Store opens at noon
Cost: Spend at least $15 in the store (they have lots of great Reaper minis, some GW kits, the full Citadel Paint line, and tons of board and card games, dice, etc.)
Format (Using Pre-End Times 25% Lord allowances):
Game 1 (500 points) Unit Champion can be army general
Game 2 (1000 points) Army MUST include all troops from the first battle but their unit size can be increased
Game 3 (2000 points) MUST include all units from earlier battles.
Game 4 (100 point skirmish battle) Individual models representing "survivors" and "veterans" from the previous games, only core troops, one champion allowed to act as general (champion may come from special choice)
Winning a battle is worth 2 points Draw is worth 1 point "Favorite Army" gets 2 points "Favorite Opponent" gets 2 points
We (Bugman and myself) only need 6 guys to run this but we could probably stretch to 8. Space is an issue at the store and the goal of the event is to be about fun and a small group getting together to enjoy EE.
If you WANT to play, let me know your blackout Saturdays in February.
Matt, the owner of Just Games, isn't worried about having a million people at the event, it's more about him giving us space to play in public in exchange for bringing traffic to his store and buying a few paints.
I hope you can make it.

I am in, I am finalizing my Black Outs days tonight with my calendar in front of me. This is great stuff. I'd like to bring the Cathay/Nippon Empire army... Any other folks shotgun an army yet?

I'll be using my newly painted Vampire Counts. Khorne is going on the shelf for a season. This is the era of undeath.

If it's the era of undeath, maybe I dust off the Tomb Kings early... what does a 500 point TK army even look like?

This has got me really excited. Count me in. Right now I am free all Saturdays in February. If we could lock down the date in the next two weeks that would be helpful though. Also, I'm thinking skaven will make their first public debut!

I'm in. Aidan might be as well, but he has a Black Belt test coming up in February.

Hey cool stuff I will be publicizing. We've got an out of town vacation in February which means my other two weekends will likely be call weekends for my wife and I but would love to come if it comes together.

Nice. I penciled those 2 weekends on the calendar. The only black out date I had was 2/20. I might try and motivate myself to paint up 2000 points of Wood Elf.

I would be interested in this. I'm always for promoting the community!

Narrowed down to either 2/6 or 2/27. Based on when we are meeting for the campaign I would say that 2/6 might be better just to keep the two events spaced out enough. Also, about the entrance fee. I like the purchase $15 minimum idea. In addition to this, if its not too much for people I think it would be cool to collect an additional $5 from each person (so $30 if we get 6 or $40 if we get 8) and use that to purchase a store credit and the winner of the event gets that as prize support.

2/6 confirmed! I just need a final count for the store. So far I see: Me Bugman Dan Will Exalted Add Jason Clark to the list and we have 6. The final threshold is 8. If I have 2 more players commit I can work to make room, otherwise, we are 6.
Start working on those army lists.

He said "no, I don't do forums".
