tourneys?

[pyrrhus]

when is the next qualifier planed ?:)

[costampede]

I think the next Tourney is the 24th of this month.

[CJSmith]

Actually, Juergen talked to Josh and me about it and he had planned with Troy on it being on the 31st of March. That way Josh can attend this time. But that might change. Thats just what Juergen told us though.

~ Casey

[Wehrmacht]

I thought you guys said you could do it on the 24? Thats when spring break starts. Can you do that date Casey?? Thats what I'm shooting for.

Juergen

[CJSmith]

Yep, the 24th will be fine for me. I don't know about Josh though, so you will have to wait for his input on that.

~ Casey

[USMC2USAF]

Gentlemen:

Please be sure to verify this date with Troy as I believe the regional L5R CCG Kotei tournament is being held at the Gamer's Haven on that day and it is usually standing room only at this event until the evening.

However, whatever date you settle on... I would love to attend... maybe I can actually learn the rules well enough by then to play!

Respectfully,
KEVIN

[Wraith]

The 24th should work for me. I think I get out that Thursday or Friday, but let me just double check to make sure. I'll get back to you.

-Josh

[Wraith]

Good news. My last thing here at USAFA is Thursday, whihc means I can be at the tourney if it is on the 24th:)

-Josh

[ColGreeley]

March 31st is the next scheduled FOW Tourney.

[Wraith]

That works just as well for me. I'm on spring break from the 22nd to the first of April, so holding the tourney one of those two weekends would be the best for me.

-Josh

[ColGreeley]

Like Kevin said, the 24th, the store is hosting a Regional Legends of the 5 Rings Kotei. Jurgen talked to me and we set up a FOW Tourney for March 31st.

[costampede]

Everyone is in the same book but wrong pages.:)

I just talked to Juergen and he will be at the store today to talk to Rob and set it up for the 17th. He wanted it on the 24th, but with the L5R thing, he is moving it up a week.

If this does not work contact Juergen, I beleive his screen name is "wehrmacht"

[ColGreeley]

Well, then he is changing his plans cuz I penciled him in for the 31st, and Jurergen was right there when I did it.

Whatever.

[Wraith]

Yeah, the 17th will not work for me because of a Wing wide training event that weekend. The 24th and 31st are the only weekends that work for me because that's when I'm on spring break.

-Josh

[Wehrmacht]

OK, due to some mix up and all kinds of other stuff:( I talked to Rob today reference the tourny and we are going to have it on the 17th of March. I hope you all can make it. It will be 1500pts with no special characters. Sorry for the mix up and the confusion.:(

Juergen

[Wraith]

DARN!! I can't make it then:( . Recognition is that weekend and there is no chance I can get out. Is there any chance that the tourney could be held the 31st, cause I would really love to take part in one before summer trianing begins.

-Josh

[pacarat]

Talked to Troy today at the store - word is that it is on the 17th now...

steve

[Wraith]

Is it for sure that the tourney is on the 17th?

-Josh

[costampede]

Yes, the 17th is set for sure. Sorry Josh, there will be another one in April I believe. What works for you in April so we can coordinate to get you in on it?

[Wraith]

As of right now I do not know the training schedule for April, but as soon as I find out I'll tell you guys what weekends would be best.

-Josh

[Wehrmacht]

Josh let us know as soon as you find out in April and we can try an have it then.

Jurgen

[pyrrhus]

Well i was hoping to go,but | cant make the 17 of march sorry guys I'll try again next month.Patrick

[bronfan1]

Bernie, Roy, Art and Brent can't make it this month either. The 24th or 31st would have been better. Let's set something up for April :-(

[Wehrmacht]

ok. So how many are can make it this weeked?? And how many can make it the last weekend of the month??

[Wraith]

I can make it the last weekend (31 March) for sure.

-Josh

[CJSmith]

As of right now I can make any Saturday that it is planned for.

~ Casey

[Rob]

Looks like We will have to move to the 31st of march guys.

[CJSmith]

Thats sounds great to me. I would rather have it then anyways as now I will be able to get all my figures painted in time.

~ Casey

[Wraith]

That's good to hear. I will definitely be there, with a brand new army, never before seen outside the black fence of USAFA. ;)

-Josh

[Wehrmacht]

Ok guys we have reposted the tourny since about 5 players could not make it:(
Josh you better have a good army:) Dont just rearrange them either:) HE HEE So its going to be on the 31st I hope all can attend.

Juergen

[Wraith]

GOOD?!?! What is this 'good' you speak of? How can any German Army NOT be good? Besides, You and Casey already know of the army kept secret behinf the black fence of USAFA. GROSSDEUTSCHLAND & PANZERS MARCH!!!!:D

-Josh

[lamont]

hi guys-

well, i was gonna not do the CSGA gameday on the 31st when we were at 31st first, then we went 17th, so I committed to running some WWI naval at CSGA gameday on 31st; now I have committed to that and cannot back out- not suggesting a date change- just informing of my unavailability for 31st-

lamont

[Wehrmacht]

Lamont I'm sorry about all the changes:( What is this CSGA??

[ColGreeley]

Colorado Springs Gamers Association.

[lamont]

CSGA is Colorado Springs Gamers Association-

we meet every Saturday night, as early as 5PM, and game miniatures- possibly the oldest gaming club in the Pike Peak region


we meet at Sand Creek Police Station in the Community Room (nice facility- plenty of BIG tables and space)-

web site is below

[Wehrmacht]

Hey I never saw you guys there when I was working nights:( Thats my substation:)

[pacarat]

ok, 31st works for me. I can bring terrain.

steve

[Wehrmacht]

Thats sounds great steve:) Looking forward to using your great terrain.

Jurgen

[Wehrmacht]

FYI there is a new way to score tournaments. Look on the Flames of War web site for further info.. tourny will be scored this way:)

Thanks,
Juergen

[Wehrmacht]

There will be no entry fee for this tourny:) We will have the usual awards:)

[costampede]

Thanks to everyone who showed up for the event. I think we all had fun.
The new scoring system is not to bad.
Congrats to Steve for winning the Tourney, and supplying the cool terrian.

[Wehrmacht]

Thanks for the turn out:) Just an FYI on the new tournament rules, if one gets a bye he/seh will receive a 6-1 victory and 5 sportsman points. So as you can see a bye is good:) My mistake lads:)

And thanks again to Steve for the great terrain.

[ColGreeley]

Thanks to all who came out and played. I hope you all had a good time. ANd thanks to Jurgen for running the event. Great job bud.

P.S. U.S. Airborne rules!

[CJSmith]

Yep great tournament guys. Not as big of a turn out as some of them, but fun none-the-less. O and Troy, yes U.S. Airborne rules, except I won't be playing them anymore until Market Garden is released. German Panzergrenadiers, here I come. :D

[ColGreeley]

No Casey no! Don't go! LOL.

[CJSmith]

Hehe, well I just love the SS Camo and the painting challange will be fun to try on a large amount of infantry. I will return to the Airborne, just not for a while (unless there is a D-Day scenerio game or two at the store).

~ Casey

[Wehrmacht]

Troy dont be a hater:) The Wehrmacht Rocks!!! Even you will turn to the DARK SIDE. evil laugh...... Everyone does eventually:)

[ColGreeley]

Uh, you lose the war. Germany loses the war.....:)

[cletus]

Speaking of armies, does anybody play soviet strelkovy? I'm busily mass producing my soviet horde, and would love to try a game sometime. What points lvl are your tournies? I might be able to get my force ready for 19 May... : )

[Wehrmacht]

There are not that many Russian players. I dont think anyone is playing the strelkovy list.

Troy, you know you want to be a Wehrmacht boy:) Just come out of the closet my friend, its all good:) HE HEE We lost because we were betrayed:) So they say, any excuse right..:)

[ColGreeley]

Well ,I am going to get my stuff ready and then we can discuss this on the battlefield. :D

[cletus]

Sweet... at least I'll be running a unique force. When I get the hordes painted at least.

[CJSmith]

I believe Patrick runs strelkovy. I just know he has a Russian Horde force. Another player, Steve I believe is his name, runs Russian strelkovy, but it has been a while since I have seen him at any of our tournaments. It will be good to see more variety in forces, as it seems the majority of the players run Germans with only a small majority running other forces on a regular basis. I would play Russians, but the way I paint I would go crazy painting that many figures.

Hope to see you at a future tournament.

~ Casey

[pacarat]

I have run a Strel Bn in the past, but not at any of the tourneys at GH.

Nick and I did go crazy when we did about 450 russian figs in about two long weeks (three weekends) a couple years ago.

Been busily working up custom stowage on 4 VCs, 12 Cromwells, 10 Churchills, and the odd platoons of carriers and sextons. Not looking forward to prepping the infantry and spt platoons (x4 inf, x2 hmg, x2 mtr, x1 pioneer, x2 ATG, x1 25pdr) though.

steve

[cletus]

Yeah, that is one thing that I'm getting bogged down on with russian strelkovy. It is a rather large amount of castings to paint up. I just cant get away from the commissar's though. Shooting your own guys... now that's just cold. : )

[ColGreeley]

I still have an old Commisar I painted up as Stalin. Nothing like Uncle Joe to help motivate you.

[cletus]

No doubt... I've been reading the fluff in the Ostfront book as well as some historical ospreys about the Eastern front, and Stalin was a serious subscriber to the "throw the guys in the meatgrinder" school of thought. Actually, it kind of reminds me of my good old imperial guard. Stalin.... emperor... not that much of a difference for the russians in '41.
