E_J Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I'll have to modify my list a bit, made a mistake, but I am building those vehicles so I'll have something on the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marek Grimfang Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Sorry guys I couldnt make it the other Sunday. Ive been caught up in court a lot and shift work sometimes gets me behind in real life issues. I am trying my best to watch this thread and one of these days soon I will just show up. In the new year though hopefully this will be a somewhat regular thing. I sort of work nearby - Jane and Finch area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Legion Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 No one came by that other sunday, as we all had stuff come up. So don't worry about it. If you can make it to the two headed dragon this sunday then we can get a 2x2 game. It's just the three of us so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E_J Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Built 4 trukks and a battlewagon and updated my army list. 1499 points. Let me know if you're still in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am Legion Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 (edited) Does anyone have a better suggestion of how to set up for a better 3-way? My friend used orks once in this edition, and then the last time I played them was in 2nd Edition. So this was good practice for me against the new codex at least. Now it's simply time for VENDETA!!!!! But we'll have to play at THD for you to use those Trukks. Speaking of trukks. When you kareened earlier. You read all the rules except for one. It's says to apply the "ka-boom" result. Which means the vehicle was destroyed. In fact all three results, uh, result in vehicle destroyed. Double check page 41 of the ork codex. Also, when using the Waagh! it's either that OR running. Not both. You didn't do it this time but you did during our first game. Yeah I'm reading over the ork codex. I'm thinking maybe I should make an ork army. They do look like a fun army to run. Edited December 1, 2008 by I am Legion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E_J Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 (edited) I'm pretty sure on our first game I ran then assaulted which looks a lot like running twice... I might have not, I'm pretty new at this. As for the ramshackle table... whoops, guess I should have kept reading the rest of that bullet point :huh: Next time, I'll explode it right and propper. Also, this makes trukks a lot less invulnerable. I was wondering why a bodged together transport truck would be nigh unstoppable. Still, it's pretty cool picturing a truck being hammered by shells and just tossed around and spun about while the horde of orks in the back laugh manically. WHEEEEEEEEEEEE! As for running a 3 way. I like the idea of just letting one opponent double his army strength and then doing 2v1. Edited December 1, 2008 by E_J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Legion Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 When the trukk didn't explode, I was thinking, "this is why orks are so strong". I'm not calling you on any of the rules, I know you're new. Just so everybody knows. Instead of 3-way though, let's get another person instead. Team games are always fun.

Kihriban Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 At home when I play 3-ways, it's done one of 3 ways (coincidence): 1. One person take double and run a 2v1. 2. Have 3 player turns per game turn. The order never changes, and during close-combat combats are only fought if the current player has units involved. 3. Each turn have everyone go in each phase: in the movement phase, A moves then B moves then C moves, then the firing phase, A fires then B fires then C fires, then CC... The order of the players changes at the beginning of each game turn but stays the same throughout each phase within that turn. If there are players still learning the rules, I definitely recommend #1 or #2. #3 is cool, and has different dynamics, but its more complicated. Hopefully you guys are still doing this in Jan so I can join in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suncrusher Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I think next time we can try a 2v1 if we cant get another player. Shall we say 3000 vs 1500+1500? It does not look like this weekend will be good for me. I've got a lot of christmas shopping to do. Friday seems a likely possibility though. How busy is THD on those days usually?

I am Legion Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 Yeah it's christmas time again, and I'll probably start shopping this weekend as well. You know what? I don't think I can make this weekend at all. This will have to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E_J Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Suncrusher, if you really want to get a game in this Friday at THD we should be able to get a table. I won't be able to bring my vehicles though, it's just too much stuff to haul to work. I won't be upset if you decide to not play this weekend. As for Saturday and Sunday, it's not a good weekend for me either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suncrusher Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Yeah, i think it would be better if we postponed it until the following weekend. Im busy on the 13th, but I am good to game on the 14th *the sunday). It seems like sundays are ok for me, provided that we finish at sometime after 6...so adjust our start times accordingly if that's ok with everyone else.

E_J Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 OK, so, we'll plan something for the 14th as long as everyone's schedules match up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Legion Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 went to that interview at GW today. Not sure if I'll get it or not, but if I don't then we'll have a game next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very cut throat company. If you can embrace the GW culture and perform you should do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suncrusher Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 howd the interview go? are you applying for the full time or part time position? im still good for the 14th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Legion Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 Well it's 2:36 pm. I should have recieved a call by now I guess. Oh well, should have tried harder, maybe taken his youngest child as a hostage..... Back to working for the folks...........ugh...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E_J Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 That sucks. On the plus side, at least you won't develop the instinct of saying, rather loudly, 'lets all enjoy the hobby, kids!' whenever you find yourself surrounded by a pack of hyperactive kids. What's this weekend looking like for getting a game in? I didn't have much of a chance to do any painting other than (badly) painting the teeth on 1/2 of my BR orks.

BOBMAKENZIE Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Saturday is a LOTR tournament at the Lawaurence GW. So the tables should mostly be open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Legion Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 I don't mind playing at the bunker. I like that they have actual tables there. THD wasn't bad (except that you all teamed up on me), but I wish they didn't ruin that other table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suncrusher Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I can't do Saturday this weekend as that's my work christmas party. Sunday I'm good. I didn't mind the table as much, but probably because I never played on the magma table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E_J Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Turns out that I'm going to need to pick up my wife some time after work about 30' away from the Lawrence bunker on Thursday. Anyone up for a game? Not sure what's going on this weekend yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
