I will also print everything out then.

Since Ryan starts on thr board, he has access to his tanks and infantry right?

No. That's local CO only.  When we wrote the rules the idea was that we'd be deploying only in complete companies, so having 2 company COs on the table couldn't happen. Unfortunately that plan didn't survive contact with people's schedules, so the limit is only the local CO gets to bring their conventional units. Yes, I'm aware we didn't do that once we allowed multiple company COs to bring conventional forces.  That was wrong. Thank the people who immediately asked if everyone could run their own 1-lance "company" so that conventional forces could be attached to EVERY lance for every scenario.

Honestly, I'm not sure why you'd want to.  Vehicles are easy to destroy, BA/infantry similarly and of limited usefulness.  Replacement/repair costs and time hardly seem worth it.  Once lance when you've got an entire company of mechs on the board and you're using them for a specific role?  Sure.  An additional 4 units per lance?  We'd be lucky to hit turn 7 on any given Saturday.

What color are the opfor to be if able?

What color are the allies and civs?

[Darrian Wolffe]

OK, so I have some Mechs marked as "bad paint scheme".  Those are Mechs that I do technically have, but they have a paint scheme which will be confusing on the table. For example, I have all of your allies in Lyran Guard colors.  However, my Blitzkriegs are also in Lyran Guard blue/white.  This is confusing. So while I do have and will bring those minis, if anyone else brings anything in bold text, it will be appreciated.

So, your allies are all in blue/white, and you have a few civvie units in OPFOR camo or Olive Drab.  As a general guideline, if you're bringing something, try and avoid things that are primarily in blue or white.  IIRC, Steve's Grand Titan is all-white, which we can live with, because it's practically the only Grand Titan anyone has.  Steve, if you have a Wolfhound in red or black (which you should, because it's you), please bring that one instead of something which conflicts.

[Darrian Wolffe]

Maps appear to be accounted for; if someone could bring a spare Forward Base and City Downtown map just in case, I'd appreciate it.  I OUGHT to have them in the portfolio, but I can't access that right this moment.

Also, anyone who can bring building counters, we need them. MANY of my building counters have gone missing over the years, and I'm not sure I have enough to actually do this.  I have a fair amount of rubble, so we should be ok there.

[Black Omega]

Steve, if you have a Wolfhound in red or black (which you should, because it's you), please bring that one instead of something which conflicts.

Actually, I have 3 WLF's.  One is green, one is desert camo and the third is of course red and black.  Your choice.
I think I can come up with a tracked APC if you don't mind WWII Russian. [It is a little big scale wise] We could also proxy the bottom half of a Hunter tank if we had to...[I have not yet glued the missile launchers to the bodies (and its been 30 years).]

[Darrian Wolffe]

OK, so general reminder that we are trying to start early.  Please arrive NO LATER THAN 9:30.  I plan on ordering Larosas pizza, drinks, & wings for the group so we don't have another 90 minute lunch break (donations are accepted but not required), and we have a HARD STOP at 5:30, with a soft stop time of 5pm.

Also, be advised that due to an unfortunate scheduling issue, and because I am a masochist, I am ALSO running my AD&D session that night, with arrivals starting at ~6:15pm.  Bright side: you people don't have to take down the tables.  Down side: it's going to be a bit of a parking/access zoo during the crossover.

Who has printed the record sheets?  ALL the record sheets, including DropShip and civvie units?  If possible, I want to transmit SPAs early so the sheets are pre-filled.  I think I remember Deadly saying he was printing civvie/ally/turret sheets only, so I can send stuff his way, but who has the OPFOR?

Still done

Rob did you want to post the clarification on elevated terrain modifiers regarding woods for attacker and defender? This game will probably have it come into play.

Also can we add on the context in which line calls are made so we have these both set? This should end up speeding things up is the hope and reduce agitation with these two subjects. I assume the easiest way to put this one is if one person doesn't want LOS there is none.

We can address the post later if errata is made as needed.
