[SA] - FloodWar 12th March, 40k, Warmachine, L5R, BloodBowl! Options

[Tilaurin]

A massive spectacular at the Adelaide Uni, FloodWar will bring no less than four gaming systems together in support of the Queensland Premiers Flood Appeal. On the 12th of March head to the Adelaide Uni, we have the Eclipse/Harry Medlin halls with potential for more and will be having a raffle, FloodRats painting comp, taking Game Preservers donations of gaming related materials to be sent up north east, and most importantly some awesome tournaments.

Each tournament will have a trophy and prizes will be listed ASAP. We're more than happy to take donations towards prizes and/or the raffle as well, so if you see a game you love (or one you no longer love and have spare stuff for!) throw me a PM and we'll have a chat

Please feel free to reply to this thread to sign up, or contact the TO for the game you're after below. The FloodWar event pack is available here in the main FloodWar thread, and currently contains rules for most of what you see below. If you are interested in running a game not listed, throw me a PM and we'll tee up what we can! Seats for some tournaments may be limited initially, but if we get enough support we can try to extend for more.

Tokens at this event will be 50cents each - check the player document to see the abilities purchaseable! Tokens spent on Warmachine will be count towards the National FloodMachine Raffle. Speed painting comp will be $5 entry, giving you 15 minutes to paint a lovely model from Impact Miniatures, who are also sponsoring first prize of a $15AU voucher! Of course you get to keep your model, and if we run out of the Impact Minis the Skaven FloodRats will still be on offer.

Well, what are you waiting for? Hit the Player Pack, signup, and DONATE LIKE YOU'VE GOT A PAIR!

Entry will be $15 regardless of game, spectators are welcome for gold coin donations

Count me in for warmachine, not sure on the faction yet.

I have boxes and boxes of old stuff that may be useful as prizes, I'll have to go through it and see what might be worth using as prizes

[Tilaurin]

Well that's one! Come on RADelaide, get involved!

[EuroChild]

Ny idea how many points we'd be looking at?

[Tilaurin]

For which system?

EDIT: I'd forgotten to allocate points for the WM tourney, so let's go with 50

[Cypher]

Should be up for 40K - pretty sure that weekend is free, so count me in.

[CaptBooyah]

I'll sign up for WM, but considering I may be needed for staffing I'll be a tentative.

[Butler]

May i recommend more detail on 40k and bloodbowl before asking for signups?

[GuppyShark]

I'm in for Blood Bowl.

[WitchFinderGeneral]

For those interested in 40k, I will supply some details.......

1 day event
3 games, with some classic (read: the missions you love to hate) missions reworked to fit theme.
1500 points

I am just nutting out the final deets on the players pack, will be up by Sunday.

[Tilaurin]

May i recommend more detail on 40k and bloodbowl before asking for signups?

It's coming, believe me, but meanwhile "BloodBowl 7's" is also known as StreeBowl, and is quite a fun and neat little system.

[DarkHorse]

For those looking for Blood Bowl information:

Hindley Street Bowl 2 - Flood Bowl

Street Bowl Rules (found at http://zlurpeebowl.com/StreetBowl/Ultimate...tbowl_RuleZ.pdf )

4 games, 600g starting team as per Street Bowl rules, progression format.

There will be special rules to fit the theme, new Kick Off table specifically for Flood Bowl, "Cheat For Charity" and waterproof pitches available!

[CaptBooyah]

Recommend ppl punch their gaming friends to also sign up, numbers are good for us to supply 'extras'

If we get particularly full, we can make other arrangements, but only with enough time

[scrubba]

Hey guys count me in for warmachine sounds like a great way to have some fun and be able to help out at the same time

[WitchFinderGeneral]

Since the T-man is in Melbourne for Arc, I'll throw these up for comment..........full Players Pack to follow once we've nailed down the final deets.......there's always something to tweak........

[WitchFinderGeneral]

Mission One- Capture Brick!

Every good general knows the value of good intelligence. With the coming storms, a meteorogically knowledgeable individual will be of incalculable value. Unfortunately, the only weatherman in town is Brick Tamland, last seen wandering into the forest after a news team knife fight. Your task is to seek out and capture Brick! Be wary though, as the enemy will surely be seeking him too.....

Deployment- This scenario uses Pitched Battle deployment (pg 93 Wh40k rulebook)

Special Rules- Infiltrators, Scouts, Reserves, Brick Tamland, “I Love Lamp!”

Brick Tamland- Before deployment, you will need to place an easily distinguished infantry sized model or other marker in the centre of the table. This is Brick. He may not be targeted with shooting, or be the target of an assault. No model may deploy within 18” of Brick. At the beginning of each player’s turn, their opponent must roll 2d6 and a Scatter die. Move Brick this many inches in the direction indicated. Scatter rolls of a “Hit” mean the controlling player may choose the direction of movement. Brick is not affected by Difficult Terrain, but will stop if he hits Impassable or Dangerous Terrain.

Capturing Brick- Brick has an IQ of 48, and is easily scared. Any Troops unit that moves into contact with Brick in the Movement phase may attempt to befriend him- Roll d6, on a 4+ they are sufficiently persuasive, and Brick joins the unit. Please note that Brick will not enter a transport vehicle, and likewise cannot use any special movement modes such as Jump Packs or the like, nor will he Run.

“I Love Lamp!”- According to his friends, it is well known that Brick has declared his love for portable lighting. Before the first turn starts, for the cost of 10 tokens per unit, you may equip any of your Troops units with a lovely Tiffany desk lamp. Seeing the object of his affection will greatly endear Brick to the unit carrying it, and they may capture Brick on a 3+.

Game Length- 5-7 turns (Ending the game, pg 90)

Victory- The winner is the player who has possession of Brick at the end of the game. Any other result is a draw.

Bonus Points
+1 Most expensive enemy HQ destroyed.
+1 Most expensive enemy unit destroyed.
+1 Enemy Broken
+1 Remain Unbroken
+1 Brick in your deployment zone at end of game.

[WitchFinderGeneral]

Mission Two- Shopping Spree!

The word is through.....Brick says a nasty lot of weather is incoming, and Headquarters has decided all units need to get ready and bunker down before it hits. You need to get out there, and grab what you can, while you can!

Deployment- Spearhead as per WH 40,000 rulebook

Special rules- Supply Dumps. Expert Shoppers, “That’s Mine, Bitch!”

Supply Dumps- Before rolling for first turn/deployment, place d3+2 objectives as per the rules in the WH40k rulebook. These are caches of supplies. At the end of your opponents turn, roll a d6 for every infantry unit you have in contact with a supply dump, as long as they are not falling back or engaged in close combat. Every roll of 4+ gains you 1 Supply Point, up to a maximum of 1 Supply Point per objective per turn. Please note that enemy units in contact with the objective will not stop you from scoring points, as long as the above conditions are met.

Expert Shopper- Knowing what supplies you really need is an important skill. For the cost of 10 tokens per unit, you may upgrade any Troops unit to Expert Shoppers. Expert Shoppers know exactly where to find those mission critical supplies like beer, pretzels, and ice, and gain a Supply Point on a 3+.

“That’s Mine Bitch!” When an opponent scores a Supply Point, if you have an infantry unit in contact with the same objective you may immediately pay 5 Tokens to snatch their Supply Point from them. However, they may immediately pay 5 Tokens to snatch it back! This may only be done once per Supply Point.

Game Length- 5-7 turns as per the WH 40,00 Rulebook.

Victory- The player who has the most Supply Points at the end of the game wins. If both players have the same amount of Supply Points, whoever has the most Kill Points is the winner. If the game is still tied it is a draw.

Bonus points
+1 Destroyed most expensive enemy HQ
+1 Destroyed most expensive enemy unit
+1 Score more than double the Supply Points of your opponent
+2 If you score at least two Supply Points from “That’s Mine, Bitch!”

[WitchFinderGeneral]

Mission Three- The Flood

Well, you trusted the knowledge of a sub-moronic weatherman, and surprise surprise, he was wrong! Floodwaters are rising, and there is no way you can sit this one out. Headquarters has given the signal to evacuate, and it’s time to haul ass outta here!

Deployment- Roll for first turn as normal. Whoever wins may choose either of the short board edges as their deployment zone. Units may be deployed up to 12” onto the table from their short board edge.

Special Rules- Evacuate! , The Water is Rising! , Floaties.

Evacuate!- Before deployment, place two markers on a line 36” in from each short board edge, one 6” in from one long board edge, the other 6” in from the opposite long board edge. These are the evacuation beacons. A unit that finishes its Movement phase with all models in the unit within 3” of the beacon (and not in a transport) teleports out and is removed from the table, playing no further part in the game. Transports and other vehicles are too bulky to teleport, and have to be abandoned. Please note this does not apply to Walkers, Talos/Cronos, or Wraithlords.

The Water is Rising!- At the start of the third turn, the flood waters begin to encroach on the battlefield. At the start of every turn the water will advance 6” from both short board edges, obliterating everything in its path. So Turn 3 will see 6” from each short board edge under water, turn 4 will see 12” from both short edges inundated, Turn 5 18”, and so on, and so on. Any unit caught by the water (i.e. any part of a vehicle hull over the line, or any member of a unit over the line) is destroyed and Kill Points scored by your opponent as if he had destroyed them. In addition, any units left on the table at the end of the game are considered destroyed, and Kill Points scored by your opponent as if he had destroyed them.

Floaties- Forewarned is forearmed, and some people are smart enough to see what’s coming, regardless of what the official word is. At the cost of 10 tokens per unit, you may upgrade any unit (yes, even vehicles!) with flotation devices. A unit with floaties is not destroyed if contacted by the water, however, its movement is reduced to d6”, and it may not use any special movement modes, i.e. Jump Packs, Skimmer, Turbo Boost, etc. A unit may still use Run moves. (They’re just paddling harder!)

Game length- 6 turns, with a 7th on a 4+

Victory- The winner is the player who has scored the most Kill Points. In cases of a tie, the winner shall be the player who evacuated the most units. If still tied, the game is a draw.

Bonus Points-
+1 Most expensive enemy HQ destroyed
+1 Most expensive enemy unit destroyed
+1 More units evacuated than opponent
+2 Scored more than twice your opponents Kill Points

[WitchFinderGeneral]

Ideas, comments, etc welcomed, especially if I've made any glaring omissions or balance errors!

You will note that as promised, these are the missions you love to hate, however I think that the use of the token special rules gives a chance to re-dress some of the issues people had with the missions.........

[Tilaurin]

Good stuff Pat, we'll get em in the pack ASAP!
