Battlefield Evolution

[livingancestor]

If anyone is interested in learning Battlefield Evolution, the new modern combat miniatures game from Mongoose Publishing, let me know and I will be happy to run a demo for you.

A fast easy game, based on the Starship Trooper mechanics.

[costampede]

The game is fun, just watch out for Forrest he is a sneaky git.:D

[livingancestor]

Hmmmph. Flattery will get you nowhere. It will not save you from the proud patriots of the People's Liberation Army.

[angel_lord]

I'd be up for a try. I'm impressed with the minis. They look very nice. :D

[USMC2USAF]

Forrest:

I'm still interested as well...
I'm steering towards the USMC so I can relive my devildog days!

Respectfully,
KEVIN

P.S. When is the main rulebook being released?

[livingancestor]

The rulebook isn't due out until April, I believe. Every package of miniatures has a set of the current rules in it.

For those that are interested in a demo, let me know what days work for you, and I'll set something up.

I currently have USMC and the Chinese faction to demo with.

[angel_lord]

I wouldn't mind taking a whack at the Devil Dogs sir,

This weekend may be a bit tight. Next weekend might be a better fit for me. I know Jess has to work on her dissertation and finish before April, so I'm tentatively available Wednesday evening, and Sunday

[electraglide]

Forrest, would you be interested in running a demo this Friday? (3-16-07) I could be there at 6 p.m.

[USMC2USAF]

Forrest:

If you can host a demo this Friday as well, I can be in attendance and hopefully apply what I've read from the rules pamphlet you provided last weekend and get some hands-on.

I pretty much have the entire day off so I can be flexible with the time.

Respectfully,
KEVIN

[livingancestor]

Hey Guys,

I'm sorry, I can't make it this Friday, It's our every other Friday role-playing night. How about next Friday? Let me know if that works for you.

Forrest

[electraglide]

Forrest,

Next Friday (23 MAR 2007) should work for me. Could you start at 18:00 or later?

Jacob

[livingancestor]

No way Jake. The earliest I could start is 6:00pm :D

See you then.

Kevin,, could you make it that day/time?

[USMC2USAF]

Forrest & Jake:

I might be able to make it around that time and day as well. It depends how early I can get released from duty though.

Respectfully,
KEVIN

[livingancestor]

Well lets plan on it. I'll get Troy to reserve us a table. Thanks guys.

[livingancestor]

Jake and Kevin,

Tim will save us a table on Friday night. Can both of you make itfor a game of Battlefield Evolution?

Forrest

[electraglide]

Forrest,

Can do.

Jacob

[USMC2USAF]

Forrest:

I'm in...

What time are we looking at to start the demo this Friday?

Respectfully,
KEVIN

[livingancestor]

I'm going to be up there about 5:30 to get us a table and set up the terrain. Probably start about 6ish

[ColGreeley]

I have to set up a game with you Forrest so you can teach me this great game.

[ColGreeley]

I want to say thanks to Forrest for running a great game. BFE is alot of fun. And thanks to Jim and his son. I hope you guys had a great time as well.

[Wraith]

I've been looking at this game for a while, and it looks pretty neat. The minis are look nice and are a plus for me because no painting is required :D . But how are the rules?? Are they real simple or are they complicated? Last question, how long does the usual game last? Thanks.

-Josh

[Wraith]

Another question, how big are the usual battles? Both point wise and minaiture wise? Can I get into the game by buying only a couple infantry squads and a tank or two?

-Josh

[livingancestor]

Josh,

The game is quick, easy and deadly. Very different from 40K. More interactive. The games take about an hour and a half once you know the rules. Two squads of infantry and a tank is a very good sized game, especially for a beginner. If you and any friends are interested in trying the game, let me know. I run demos of this game for Mongoose Publishing.

Forrest

[USMC2USAF]

Forrest:

I'll be up for another game of Battlefield Evolution again sometime soon. I saw the new squad and vehicle boxes in the Haven the other day and like what I saw. Now I'm just waiting for some more USMC releases like the Force Recon platoon!

I'm open to play most weekends and can usually work out a weekday evening later in the week when the store stays open longer.

Also, if you need someone to play in one of your monthly demos, I am available as well.

Respectfully,
KEVIN

[livingancestor]

Kevin,

Let's see if we can get Josh down, and I'll do a demo with you and him. If not, I'd love to pit the loyal forces of the great republic of China against the evil USMC. :D

Forrest

[ColGreeley]

Thanks again for the game Forrest. Great game, and lots of fun. I look forward to playing once again.

[USMC2USAF]

Forrest:

Ahhh yes.... (or Ahhh sooo!)... the "peace loving people of the benevolent republic of China against the imperialist United States Marines!

Sounds good to me... just let me know. Have you purchased any of the new Chinese APCs yet? They look nice. Kind of like an LAV in appearance though.

Respectfully,
KEVIN

[ColGreeley]

Man the Chinese are brutal with the extra missle launchers.

[Wraith]

It might be a little while until I can get down to the Gamer's, but the next tiem I'm there, I'm definitly up for a game. By the way, whhich faction is the best? I'm leaning toward the USMC or the EFTF.

-Josh

[Wraith]

Are there plans for air units? I'd love to get some F-22s on the field, even if they are supporting the Marines;)

-Josh (GO AIR FORCE!!!)

[livingancestor]

Kevin,

Next week is the Imperial Concubine's birthday, but I'm sure the valiant warriors of the PLA will find time to indoctrinate the American lapdogs. :D

[electraglide]

Forrest,

When is the next demo?

Jacob

[livingancestor]

Jake,

Watch this thread, I'll be setting up something soon.

Forrest

[ColGreeley]

Sounds good Forrest, I wouldn't mind sitting in on that.

[Wraith]

The end of the school year is fast approaching, and after the 19th of May I will have a good deal of time to waste (aka dead week), where I can potentially get some time off. I've ordered the advanced rulebook from Mongoose, and I would really like to watch/play a game or two while I have all that free time.

-Josh

[Wraith]

I'll have some free time coming up in the next couple of weeks and would anyone be interested in teaching me how to play BF:Evo?

-Josh

[livingancestor]

Josh,

Let me know what evenings you are available, and I'll set up a demo with you.

Forrest

[ColGreeley]

Forrest,

Thanks for the games alst night. I had a great time . I hope you did as well. The game is alot of fun. I will need to start collecting the Marines so we can fight off the Communist Chinese!

Thanks again,
Troy

[Evo]

hey when is a time i can meet someone for a demo of this game? i have been looking at it lately but haven't had the money to pick any up yet! Just let me know when ever is good for you guys!

Also. What minis do you guys use? I saw the Actual one's, but then i saw people talking about other army's i don't see made from them!?

[Wraith]

I'll be at Gamer's the evening of the 19th after the FOW tourney, can someone run a quick demo then???

-Josh

[Wraith]

Sorry for the rapid change of plans, but I have mandatory training this on the 19th, so I will not be able to make anything that day.

-Josh

[Evo]

Is anybody going to be at the store tonight that can set up a demo?

[SuperDuper]

What scale are these minies?

[livingancestor]

Pretty close to true 25mm. They are also closer to a true human physique, not the bulky GW look.

[Wraith]

So what armies are most popular at Gamer's? I'm looking at USMC or EFTF and wondered what everyone else played and if anyone had any opinions on how these two armies run.

-Josh

[ColGreeley]

I have played both the Chinese and the Marines in demo games. Both are good. I have not yet played wit the British or the Middle Eastern guys.

[Cpt_NinjaPants]

Pretty close to true 25mm. They are also closer to a true human physique, not the bulky GW look.
"Heroic" Scale.

[ColGreeley]

There are new units and stuff for this great game at the store. If you get the chance, check them out.
