Big Things a-Comin!

News from the Front -- September 16th, 2007

The turnout today at the club was nothing short of phenomenal. Way to go, people. It was a great day, and I hope that it stays at that level of attendance and general enjoyment. I saw a lot of people there today that I hadn't seen in a while, and a couple that I've never seen. Right on.

As those of you who were there today know, there are a number of things happening at the club right now that I talked about briefly, but that I'd like to go into in more detail here:

• Next club meeting in October (the 21st) will be the 40k MEGA-BATTLE! Bring a standard 1000-pt army, no special characters or opponent-permission only models. Each person will be randomly selected for a team, and that team will set up against the other in a head-to-head super-conflict! This will take most of the day...I assure you. There will be tables set up for Fantasy, but it will be a Non-Campaign day. I plan on having this battle become a regular event, so I will be recording the teams, and created a coveted trophy to be kept at the club for it...you can become part of club history as the first members of the Mega-Battle 40k Team. There is no additional cost to play in the battle.
• In November, there will be a Peace Talk in the Fantasy Campaign following the ceasing of hostilities in October. All generals attending will be worth no more than 150 points, and will be accompanied by a bodyguard of forces amounting to more than 500 points (all organization rules apply). A note to the Fantasy generals: name your hero! Anyone who comes to the peace talks without a name will be given one by me, and you don't want that. Lol. Other than that, November is a regular games day.
• In both November and October, due to our terrain that's in rough shape, we will be asking that anyone who wants to pay $2 instead of the regular $5 for admission can create a CD-sized piece of terrain to contribute to the cause (only up to two entries per person). The conditions are that the club will own the terrain, but it will be for all of us to use in our games. We will be judging the terrain by anonymous vote, and the top three pieces will receive a prize.

That's about it. Look for "A Brief History of the War" next week, which will catch everyone up on the story for the Fantasy Campaign.

Cheers, mates.
