As mentioned earlier, this is a TL2 game utilizing magic.  Each being
utilizing SP, has an initial limit of 50 CP for the powers (once in battle,
there's nothing to stop a unit from picking up a magic item which
technically puts it over the 50 CP limit).  Additionally, each army is
allotted 1000 CP.  The game is scheduled for Sunday, April 27.

Wow.  This is one of the longest (and most entertaining) threads I've
noticed in the .nelug group.  I honestly haven't read it all yet, so forgive
me if my questions are repeats...  I will try to be brief...

Hi Hendo!  Glad you asked...

1. Where do you guys play?

It varies, but the last handful of games have been at Jonathan's (Arllington).

2. About how long is a game?

That varies too...anywhere from 5 hours to way more than 5 hours.  That
includes setup time which usually takes an hour or so.  It also includes
waiting around for me to show up :)


3. How hard is it for someone with BW-Rules-o-phobia to be involved?

Not hard at all...watching a game is usually a good place to start and then
team up with an experienced player.


4. Is it normal for a first-timer to be a mere spectator?

Totally.

5. How does one keep track of different builder's contributions to the
display (so as to avoid someone leaving precious ABS behind)?

Hmm...it's never been a problem.  Buildings and what not are easily
identifyable and all the figs usually are too.  But if there is some concern
about the figs, the handy stick-a-piece-of-paper-in-the-torso trick usually
works.


I ask all this, because one of these times I would like to check it out.
April 27th is a *big maybe* for me.  My calendar tends to get filled about
six weeks in advance (unfortunately for these sorts of events).  But, the
discussion about some things has my interest (okay, okay, mostly I just hope
to see some plague-cows).  Also, if not for this event, perhaps another, but
I do have a handful of siege weapons built that might be of use (six
trebuchets, a dozen ballistae (sp?), and a few other odd little things (all
at mini-fig scale of course, and no they don't actually fire, but look cool,
IMO).

I'd love to see them.  If you can make it, that'd be great!

Anyhoo, I thought I'd ask and comment rather than sit out here in the
forgotten west and not say anything.  :D
