This is posted the same day as the game, but for the next game to be of the appropriate scale then we need to do some logistics. The next game will be quickstrike, and I am working on a primer to be up by the end of the month. What I need is everyone to post a list of all mechs they have painted in SLDF or RWR colors. For reference, SLDF colors are dull green, but any green will really work. RWR colors are red, white and blue. Please get these lists up asap. thanks.
-
If we're also allowing the black and red RWR paint scheme, then I can contribute a Spider, Jenner, Kintaro, and Black Knight. I hope to get a few more mechs painted up in time for the next game, but I'm both slow and bad at painting, so don't expect much.
-
You may have to settle for whatever anyone has painted. I have only a couple painted in green and as far as red, white and blue, forgetaboutit. Maybe, just list what minis would be needed and the group can work from there. I myself, am busy with a comission and for Gencon.
-
I've got a green based camo Wolverine for the SLDF.

Yes, after talking to rob, slight change. I would like an era listing of all legal mechs, and also an approximation of their color scheme.
Please do not list your PC mechs, you will need those for your PC ;D

By the way just confirming that I WILL be there for the next game! :-[
-
All right. I need RSVPs for EVERYBODY who WILL be there. This is a 100% commitment, because of the level of logistics necessary here.
At this time, we have 16 companies worth of period-appropriate minis. There IS the potential to scrounge for more; I'm not using a fair number of the minis that were posted in this thread yet (Bryan, Steve, and Phil will all have assignments to bring units at this time), so if we end up with more than 16 people, that's OK. I THINK we can swing for a maximum of 20 companies on the board at once, if needed. That's 20 total players.
Likewise, I need people to who normally bring NPCs to make sure that those NPCs will be here, and I need them RSVP'd for in this thread as well.
You have until June 12th to RSVP, so if we need to pick stuff up at Origins, we'll have the ability to do so. (Bryan, you're good, thank you.)
-
I'm in.
I'm in the process of repainting a pile of minis and haven't checked whats around in era yet, so I had not volunteered anything. If you still want lists I can put them up.
-
Drew and I will be there.
-
I should be there.
-
As logistics and print master, I shutter to think what would happen if I should skip this game.
-
im in ill see if i can scrounge up a person or two no promises there though
-
I'll be there. I'll also look for a friend or 2 to bring and will confirm here.

-
I'll be there. My friend Steve and my nephew Seth should be there. Vinny will be out of town, but I have asked 2 others and I won't know for a while.
-
Rob, will our pc's be on the board in this quick strike game? If so, shall I attempt to convert the LAM's stats?

Yes, they will. That's part of my project for tonight - finishing all the QS conversions. Should be up by morning.
-
Rob, not sure I follow all the codes in the QS thread. I noticed though that several folks have an SRM entry. Does mine not have one because it's a single SRM 4 or that it's factored directly into the damage profile?

It's sort of both. If a missile launcher can deal a small amount of damage, it gets factored into the profile. if it reaches a threshold, you end up with the SRM Trait.
Observe the difference (scroll down for the QS card stats):

LIST OF MINIS PEOPLE NEED TO BRING
I'd like to thank everybody who volunteered to help with this. I don't think anybody has done a fight of this size yet, and I'm glad we're the first to try it. Bring those hi-res cameras on next Saturday!
Don't worry about the variants; I'm copy-pasting out of my master logistics document for this instead of typing 100 individual Mechs out.

Those little card sleeves we use for Warmachine? Yeah, I need a LOT of them. Like, 250. If you guys can each do a count a figure out among yourselves (or if somebody just has 250, bring 250 of them), we'll need them for the game.
EVERYBODY
Mapsheets! Specifically, Coastline 1 & 2, Dock, City mapsheets, Clear terrain mapsheets, and classic BattleTech mapsheets! Bring ALL of them.
As a side note, the coastline mapsheets are 90-degrees off of where we needed them to be, so we're going to be having them angled to the side and with a 1/2 map of clear terrain between them and the "dry land" mapsheet, which means we need more maps than I originally anticipated. So if you're in doubt about whether to bring a mapsheet or not, bring it, please.
-
OK, now to figure out how to transport this many minis.
-
Phil, I have an empty Reaper tray that will hold 20 and a large Chessex box that will hold 21+ that you are welcome to borrow. The only trick will be how to get them to you.
-
I feel you both. I'm transporting 10 companies for this thing.
-
Hey, I am missing a Wolverine painted in 5th Donegal colors. I believe it was being used at the last game I was at and left it.
-
Confirming that I've seen the list.
-
Phil, I have 2 minis of yours: a blue Griffin, and your PC Ostroc. Both will be at the game.
RSVP LIST
1) Rob DeHoff
2) Mike Hickey
3) Travis Friedmann
4) Dan Sweikata
5) Brent Shadwell

NOTES
a) Sorry about any misspellings. In my defense, it's 3am.
b) We currently have 18 companies worth of Mechs prepped for this. If you are bringing people, I need to know ASAP - with a FIRM commitment - so we can make sure we have a unit for them. As you can see, there are only 4 unclaimed slots. Note that we can have EVEN MORE companies prepped and ready (I think we'll end up topping out at about 20 though, because we can't fit more people at the tables), but we need to know ahead of time. Like, noon on Wednesday at the absolute LATEST.
Please, if you're bringing other folks, PLEASE RSVP them.

I've got 10-20 hard card cases.
What I have a bunch of are 9 card binder type card holders. Each of those could fit a company if you double sided them, would those work?
-
Rob, my friend Patrick's interested but can't be there until 3 PM. He's the one I've brought once or twice before. Normal sessions I know that would be too late, but my recollection is that this sessions going to run long. Are you ok with him joining us?

That's a good idea. Try a dry-erase on them. If there's no residue, then we can use those.

Er...in this case, I honestly don't know. I was going to request people ACTUALLY get to the store at 10am (with Mike and I getting there at 9:30 so we can put cards in sleeves in the food court), and I don't know how long this will go. I can estimate how long a BT game will take relatively well, but I simply don't have enough experience to say on how long a QS game will go.
Moreover, I can't guarantee him a slot at the table; we're pairing up "company v company", and if he doesn't get there until 3pm, either somebody else has to wait for him, or we've got an even number of players and have been going for 4 hours by that point. :-\
-
Rob, I've worked things out with my wife, so will be there at 10. In terms of Patrick, is it fair to tell him that he's welcome to show up but likely may just be an observer? No expectations on his part, if someone wants assistance or to leave early he can fill in. Fair?

Oh good. Surprise router replacement at work Friday night because Captain Slow has all the communication skills of a concussed duckling with oxygen deprivation.
I can't commit because I have no idea what unholy hour I will be stuck at work until.

Yeah, that's 100% fair.
EVERYONE, make sure you've looked over the QS rules, please. I mean, really looked at them, not taken 5 minutes to skim and say "ok, I looked over them". Please go over them with any other players you're bringing, if at ALL possible.
Remember, we need RSVPs by Wednesday evening (yes, Brent, I know. Please try hard.).
-
I might be able to make it, but I can't commit until I know how late I'll be at work on Friday. It could be a 30 minute gear swap, I could be there until 0900 on Sunday.
I'm out.
Edit: As is Brett. She can't get last minute child care and I'm likely to be zombie mode.
-
I would look them over, but I can't seem to open the file that Mike has on here.
-
I have placed a non MS Word version of the document up in that thread.
-
I have gotten Arthur squared away so I will be attending this week.
Brent will be missing due to the work situation.
I read the one-page primer, but I need to understand the special abilities and how they work. Where can I find this?
-
Rob,
I've talked to Patrick and made sure he's clear on expectations. He's going to call the store when he gets off work to find out if he'll have something to do. Once he knows if he'd be helping out or watching, he'll decide whether or not to show up.

Strat ops page 342 starts the list of all special abilities, if you need help from there ask.
-
For the love of god, if you own Coast #1 or #1, or City (Residential), City (Skyscraper), or City (Suburbs), or the Clear Terrain maps, BRING THEM. BRING THEM ALL.
I'm missing about a linear half-inch of maps, and it's all stuff from Map Sets 6 and 7...which, of course, is what we need.
-
Sorry for the late notice on this, but Drew might be unable to make it to the Saturday game for medical reasons. He had his wisdom teeth pulled today and unfortunately the operation didn't go quite as smoothly as everyone hoped. Apparently the base of the teeth had already begun to solidify into bone, which made their extraction a more difficult and involved process than the oral surgeon originally projected. He's going to be fine, but the recovery process is going to be a little bit longer than normal, so he may not be able to make it to Saturday's game.
-
Is any one else bringing anybody? Please? :-\
-
Rob, I just thought of a few other people I can reach out to. I'll let you know.
Update: Sorry, no luck. :(
-
I have map set 7, so I'm bringing it, which includes Seaport, Coast #1, and Coast #2. Also Dropport #1 & #2, since they could effectively be used as clear terrain or light city maps.
Also bringing 6 Classic BT maps, and one other empty one with just a few trees.
Now, I've also got lots of the City, Suburb, grid-type maps as well. But they don't have buildings on them, just streets mostly. Additionally, I've got some desert hills and stuff which are mostly empty terrain but not flat. Want any of those?
-
Paul, tell your buddy that we WILL have somebody for him to game with if he comes by at 3. Dan has to go to a funeral and won't get there until later, so I'll pair them up.

Otherwise, sounds good.
-
Don't have those. But I'll be bringing the rest of what I posted.
-
Rob: I've confirmed with Patrick that he will be there tomorrow.
-
I'm bringing my set of city maps, and my pile o other maps if there's anything in there you will need. I don't have mapset 7 though.
-
I've got the Battleforce and Battleforce2 maps if it's helpful to bring those.

Drew will definitely not be joining us today and I have been unable to secure an alternate player, sorry. I'll see everyone in a couple hours.
