We have need for one player for a chaos faction game and at least one and possibly more games covered for Xenos faction. Are any non-full team members available to fill in sometime in the next week?

I can bring my Tau for the Xenos faction
Excellent! Most games have been 1850, though i think some have done 2000. Army composition rules are in the packet linked in the sticky postfor this forum if you haven't seen it. Will be vs. Chaos faction, which includes orks or necrons. Still waiting to see who they get to sub in, sowill know more then.
Next week I'm free...except for thursday. :/
[edit] Just realized you don't need imperial. Heh. Ignore.
I think imperial was needed as well, but will let one of them confirm
We do need an Imperial fill in, but it needs to be this week, and I think the specific opponent here needs the game to be Thursday.
If it comes down to that I guess we will have to, I don't know that we have any other options. I've finished my games so I would be available. I did play Dan in his other game this round, so I don't know if he would want to face me again, but I wouldn't mind having another go if needed. It would not be "my forces" or count towards the campaign for my list though (same for any of us who filled in, I don't think that would be fair to get a third game to earn xp to potentially buff up the forces). If someone else wants to that is cool too.
I can also play if need be as I finished my two games.
??? Not sure what you mean Brian. Noah2015 has 2 games still, one vs Caldera and one vs txplays, but i know he is out. Afaik you guys are getting your own sub, but we do need to know who so we can schedule both games. My response was to zoro for his tau, on the xenos side, just to let him know he would be facing chaos, which could mean orks or necrons as well.
Ah. I guess that is between you and your team.
I presume that Todd made this thread because he was aware of the vacancies needing to be filled.
And i believe the preference is for a non-regular player if possible, but a member of the team if none can be found.
I do think it is polite if vacancies and replacements are made public as soon as one is aware of it though.
Also, Brian, i had sent msgs to Chris and Todd over the weekend about our side. I had suggested chaos might see if jw could fill in, but haven't heard back.
Yeah, I figured either JW or Chris (Long) could fill in for Chaos. As Erin said I prefer part-time players be allowed to fill in, but where that isn't possible we can agree to one of our normal players - but the game would not count for their forces, I don't think it would be fair to allow them a third game of XP gain to buff up their forces.
Good points on the 1500. I had actually just taken 1850 as implied from the rules pack, think others did too.
What happens if you challenge an opponent for more points than they want to commit?
Can you fight an 1850 vs 1500 right now? What about in later rounds?
20,000 points / 15 rounds is 1333 points, assuming you lose everything (which is what I'm on pace for). Although maybe some HQs will live and I can run some all HQ or unbound HQ list at the end. This is my Chaplain+Dominus+SanPriest with a jump pack blob: 10 Independent Characters!
I think it is only 12 games total. And i would say if people really can't agree, split the difference
It would be interesting to add that to the meta-challenge system.
- Challenger declares attack on hex
- Defender is chosen and declares how many points will be used in defense (max 2000)
- Attacker declares how many points will attack (not more than 500 points above defender total)
I attack Ranov Space Station. Defender commits 1850 points. I attack with 2000. We fight a 2000 vs 1850-- the defender preserves more units but has a higher chance of losing committed forces.
True, is interesting. I think 500 is too much, maybe 150.
Still thinking about it, but defender should maybe have option to match, else things may start to go lopsided for the long run.
What about:
- Challenger declares attack on hex and point value (max 2000)
- Defender is chosen and declares how many points will be used in defense (max 2000)
- Attacker can re-commit forces, up to 500 points more, but only by posting his list to the forum.
This gives the defender an advantage and allows people an easy way to intentionally lose a fight. If we want to give up a hex, someone can attack with 2000 points and we can just commit 250 points in defense ensuring that we don't lose any forces fighting for something we want to give up anyway.
I like the idea of having the attacker determine the points value of the game (1500 - 2K), then the defender can bring up to that amount. This will make it much easier to setup the games since both sides can build their list before hand and there is no on-the-fly adjusting required. I don't like the idea of one side having more points than the other or any back and forth. It just seems like it would make things more complicated and less fun.
Oh yeah, all my lists will be 2000 points. Bugs are expensive.
I was wondering why so many people were playing 1500 points. Hmm, maybe a flaw in the game since that never gets you close to endangering your entire force. So far my games have been 1,850 and 2,000, and my opponents wanted both to be 2k. In any case, I don't think we need to complicate challenges with too much back and forth with people bringing in more points than the other, but if people want to I do think it might be good to say that the attacker declares the game size and defender then has a choice to bring anywhere up to that amount of points. The only adjustment from there would be if people had a bonus to force size from something like the manufactorum bonus. Is that how people want to play it from here on out?
Sounds fine to me. Simple.
I like it. Sloth's revision is a lot more streamlined but still allows the defender to bail if they want.
I still need a fill-in imperial player for a game this Thursday. I have messaged Glorywarrior who cannot make it on Thursday and Kharnage who has not responded.
Kevin and I are playing tonight, as well.
I still need an imperial game as well. Was against Noah.(craig)
