There's a good chance I could make it for this event...once it firms up a little I can let you know for sure.

I'm in Nota...we got a place now in KY (like the Jelly). I've played with 5 megas per side (player's choice) and it is overrated. I go in with 3 Destroyers and 5 gunships...it's over. Walk the gunships up slowly with destroyers behind them, the 2 free gunships running interference. Promptly piggyback the droids from the rear to in-between the forward "interference" ships, then forward AGAIN in front of enemy megas, and they are dead (2 shots, 2 hit pads....it's ugly) as 4 o'clock. Rinse, repeat as needed. Never been beat yet, but it was Mark from the tourney.... The way I initially thought a mega tourney might be run is limiting it to 5 megas per side with no regular figs supporting - sort of a supersized battle. Which begs the question, what about the specials? I suppose it could be handled two ways: no backups, strictly five megas, specials don't come into play; or allow for as many backups as normal rules/points would allow.

You know, I've been thinking a lot about mega tournaments recently, I'm thinking it should be like 500 point games with no more than 50 points of supporting (regular) figures. And, without remembering all the figures, I don't see any reason to put restrictions on back ups.

Ya megas aren't all that likely to get their specials anyway, I do think that making it point based with a limit on the amount of regular figs you can use would be fun. Squad building is one of the best parts of attacktix, I think people could come up with some interesting stuff.

I'd say this on the specials : If it HAPPENS to come up white, you get to bring a Common Shooter into play. That allows for a BIT of a twist if by God's Grace you get a white Mega (in a YEAR I've never had one.)

Just so everyone knows, if you would like to stay at the hotel simply call them and tell them you are with the attacktix tournament and they will get you all set up. If we get 9 rooms than I can lower the entry fee for the tournament. I know I will be staying there that night. If you could please let me know if you will be too.

Entry Fee?? (waving hand) I don't need to pay an entry fee. Go on about your business....
Hey, do me a favor and see if there's a local tattoo shop there. I need to get a touch up and the only way the needle hits the skin is when the wife isn't around to stop me. Would be much appreciated.

I will likely be on the campaign trail that day given its proximity to the November election, but you can bet I will make every attempt to be there. In any case, I would be a last minute add.

That'll work, if that what people would like to win, maybe for the mega tourney. I'll put one in too, so the winner of the mega tourney gets 2 gunships. Maybe what I'll do is use the one superflynt donates to replace one of mine and I'll custom paint 2 of mine, what do you guys think?
