[fatolaf]

Also have you sent Tom W an e-mail re this? Also how many post do I have to make before I'm not a cocking Skaven-slave???

Tom saw it on TWF and is coming, 50 posts buddy...

Although that said I don't actually know where this is being held..
So I should prob find that out too!

Ashley, we are in the Spread Eagle pub, Wandsworth, right opposite the giant shopping centre, very easy to get to from most London areas.Where are you based?

Hang on, isn't this number 4?? July, August, September and now October no?

No 1st one was not a PLanet OG, that was called Blood for the Blood God, and was run by Steven...

Ahh cool, thanks for the swift update. I'm only coming from Windsor so not too far, about an hour by train I guess.

AH! Thanks for the clarification. So I won the first Planet OG one then?? PRIDE!!!

Having looked at the missions a little more carefully I have a couple of questions.

Game 2- The Killing Fields
*Each DZ has 3 'Objectives' in it. Do the units in the DZ at the end of the game need to be near these to score? If not why are they called 'objectives'?

*"No vehicle may move flat out". Can bikes/jet-bikes still turbo-boost? What about other effects that allow a long move? Grey knights teleporting for example?

*No unit can infiltrate, how about outflanking?

* "This is a six turn mission only". IE, a maximum of six turns or six turns always. Do you roll for the sixth turn?

*

The player who has more of his units (any kind) in his opponents DZ at the end of the game wins the mission.

This definitely needs clarification. "Any kind"? Including vehicles? Including units that it specifically states in their entry that they can never score (Chaos spawn etc)? Dedicated transports? Units formed during the game (by a Tervigon say)?

Think thats the lot.

Also I'm missing the bit where you point out that this is a FRIENDLY or FLUFFY event dude. Both Rob and then Alex (cocksmoker Harrison) defended bringing their cheesefest lists by saying it didn't specify that anywhere. If you make it clear, there's no room for bullshit after hey?

I was thinking of doing a Starsmash writeup/review thingum on here. Good idea? What should I include to make it interesting if so?

Info about how attractive, funny, clever and good at 40k I am... so just lies should do it.

Well seeing as I only really met you when very drunk and at the very end while very ill and didn't actually 'play' you this could be slim pickings. Or just all made up I suppose. Feel free to PM me with thoughts ;)

GLad you're coming down to OG dude, think you will dig it. Also, let's fill the spaces with fun people before the spammers arrive!

Game 2- The Killing Fields
*Each DZ has 3 'Objectives' in it. Do the units in the DZ at the end of the game need to be near these to score? If not why are they called 'objectives'?

'Objectives' was simply for want of a better word, as they all blow up in this game, i thought this would be clear

*"No vehicle may move flat out". Can bikes/jet-bikes still turbo-boost? What about other effects that allow a long move? Grey knights teleporting for example?

*No unit can infiltrate, how about outflanking?

Clarified

No unit may Deep Strike/Teleport or Infiltrate / outflank, No Vehicle may move flat out (ie over 18")

* "This is a six turn mission only". IE, a maximum of six turns or six turns always. Do you roll for the sixth turn?

As in there will be 6 turns, and 6 turns only

*This definitely needs clarification. "Any kind"? Including vehicles? Including units that it specifically states in their entry that they can never score (Chaos spawn etc)? Dedicated transports? Units formed during the game (by a Tervigon say)

It's a unique mission with unique rules, any unit that gets across scores, simples...

Also I'm missing the bit where you point out that this is a FRIENDLY or FLUFFY event dude.

Did not think I needed to do that on this forum, but on TWF it has been clarified

For sure buddy, more battle reps the better, anyway you want is good, piccies always nice, songs even better....

Some great clarification there matey! Thanks!

So I may write some of the troops out my list, seeing as the first game is kp's and the second I can score with anything... 

Just one thing;

No unit may Deep Strike/Teleport or Infiltrate / outflank, No Vehicle may move flat out (ie over 18")

Moving flat out is moving "more than 12" and up to 18". This is in the rules for fast vehicles.

"A skimmer that is also fast and is moving flat out may move up to 24."

This rule affects fast vehicles (Ork Trukks, all BA Vehicles etc) as well as fast Skimmers.

SO it should say; No vehicle may move flat out (ie over 12")

Not trying to be pedantic, just make sure it's clear
