*POST UPDATED 23 JUNE *

---If you wish to attend this event please email me at andrewps.wee@gmail.com with your name and mobile phone number. I will provide banking details. To confirm your place, payment must be made by Thursday 28 June.---

We are playing an epic 4v4 game of the 'Invasion!' scenario on pg 410 of the big WH rulebook. This will be 2400 points a force (9600 points a side). Each side will have 5D6 power dice on their turn, and the sum of 1st, 2nd and 4th lowest dice for dispel dice. The table size will be 10 ft x 6 ft.

For those of you without access to this scenario, here is the run down:

Primary Objective:
Capture battlefield quarters and defensible areas for 1 Control Point (CP) each. 7 CPs are available. Game canalso be ended immediately if the score at any point ever reaches 6-1 or 7-0.

Battlefield Quarters (4 CPs available)
The battlefield is divided into quarters. A CP is awarded to theside that dominates that quarter. Domination is awarded whena side controls more than twice as many units as the enemy in that quarter. A unit cannot occupy more than one quarterand location is defined by majority number of models in that quarter. If the quarter is not dominated bya single force, it is Contested and does not award any CPs toeither side.

Defensible Areas (3 CPs available)
Control of the defensible area is provided to the force whichhas the closest, non fleeing unit within 12’’ to the defensible area.

Invader force special rules:

Waves of Attack: The attacker can ‘recycle’ any Core unit that has been destroyed or fled off the table. In the followinginvader turn, the Invader force may recycle an identical unit bymodel number and same equipment specs as reinforcements. Reinforcements enter from any edge within a field quarter that is being dominated by the invading force. Characters which are fleeing or destroyed with the previous unit are not revived.

Other special rules

Supreme Commander: Each side will elect a Supreme Commander, which is an army general with the highest available leadership from the pool of army generals. The Supreme Commander provides a Leadership radius of 18’’ and can be used by any other allied force.

Lieutenants: All other army generals are considered Lieutenants that may confer their regular 12’’ Leadership radius to units from their own army.

Trusted Allies: Each side uses the ‘Trusted Allies’ special rule
on page 137 of the Warhammer 8th edition Rule Book, irrespective of the composition of forces

Army Composition: No 'named' special characters

This session is really to meet, greet and have fun - ultra competitive lists may not go down that well - though I leave it to you be the judge of what that means.

*ORIGINAL POST BELOW*

Hi everyone,

I'm just putting this information out there and wanting to gauge interest among the WHFB faithful... we are a small gaming group of about 5 players which are based around Melbourne but meet once a month on Saturdays (full day events) to play WHFB in a location very close to Melbourne CBD. We are looking to open up our gaming circle to new players and officially launch our club on Saturday, 28 July 2012.

It's early days yet but here's the important information about how we operate:

- We plan to run organised WHFB leagues or fluffy campaigns with 5-6 months duration
- Leagues or campaigns are run like tournaments, with various prizes on offer. We like to keep this interesting by having a longer term focus beyond 2 day events and single matches.
- Importantly, our emphasis is on fun, casual gaming and meeting other players in a welcoming environment.
- We have a dedicated and independent T/O and ref to maintain the league/campaign proceedings. At the end of each league/campaign we rotate T/O responsibilities...
- Our T/O has creative control over the league/campaign design, and may take player feedback into account.

However...

- While we have secured a favourable venue in proximity to Melbourne CBD, our space constrains us to about 10-12 players.
- We are seeking around 6 more regular players to participate in our leagues. We prefer to keep our regular group relatively small but will leave some space open for casual players to visit and game with us.
- Also as we may be growing quickly we may need improved access to tables and terrain.
- We seek regulars to join us, with priority given to those that can assist us with gaming table and terrain issues. We reserve the right to extend invitations to regular players for our league/campaigns but as we plan to be an open club we will not be discriminating against casual players wanting to join us for friendly games.
- Due to limited space for casual players there will likely be a 'waiting list' mechanism for casuals to join us.
- As with most private venues close to the CBD players do need to contribute some money towards venue hire. This can be partially absorbed by entry fees for participating in our leagues. Casual players will probably pay a higher fee for single visits and will not have much impact on league results.

- As we essentially run extended tournaments, we seek prize and/or terrain sponsors for our events. If you are a WargamerAU sponsor and are interested, please PM me your proposals to discuss.

More information will be made available prior to launching our new club.

i would be interested in playing in a campaign, and I have some rules that i have used for 40K which will be adaptable to WHFB

I am always up for more hams and would love very much to get more games in of the ~amazing fantasy~
However I'm a little further away, down in warragul so would need to catch the train in. How far away is the planned venue from flinders/southern cross?

Sounds intriguing, I would be quite interested. Would also like to know more about transport access though.

I'd love to bring my TK's along for some regular games.

That sounds interesting. we'd love to try some of your ideas in a future campaign. Please PM me to exchange email details so I can add you to our distribution list.

We are close to the corner of St Kilda Rd and Toorak Rd (which is about 5-7 mins by tram from Flinders St Station). If you're interested in more information, please PM me and we can exchange email addys so I can add you to our distribution list

Hi Brendan
As described in the above post, we are 5-7 minutes by tram down St Kilda Rd from Flinders St station, near hte corner of St Kilda Rd and Toorak Rd. Most trams except for No. 1, and 8 will take you there. We also have free parking at our venue (which is a rare thing so close to the city).
If you'd like to know more please PM me to exchange emails and add you to the distribution list

Hi Grovel
We dont have a TK player amongst us so that would be great! Please PM me so we can exchange email addys
Thanks
Andrew

Hey there,

I have a group of gamers that generally play at my place that might be interested in all coming along to a CBD based Warhammer Club. There's 3-5 of us that play here in Richmond so you're not that far away.

I usually play a straight Night Goblin Army but also have armies for High Elves, Bretonnians, Lizardmen and I'm working on an Ogre Kingdom army atm.

My other mates play Dark Elves, Empire and Skaven.

I would love to come along and be part of a good central club and get a mix of new opponents and armies to play against if possible!

Hi there
That's excellent - we dont have an Empire, O&G or OK player amongst us. I"ll reply to your PM - thanks for your enquiry.
Andrew

Can you shoot me along your details? My brother in law is in melb and has expressed some interest in the game , he hasn't played before, but seems keen on getting started. I can shoot across your details and he might drop in and grab a look

Hey there I'll pm you. Our existing member base are noobish with most of them playing only one tourney only so far. We are really quite experienced at showing noobs the ropes by now.

I'd be interested. Just got back into WFB after a very long hiatus, so re-learning everything again. Currently having a blast playing Rumble in the Bronx this weekend, have even won a game! haha. Currently playing Vampire Counts.

Great stuff! I'm a VC player myself. Please PM me with your email address.
Andrew

To those of you that have already supplied me with an email address via PM, I have sent some venue details and the player pack of the current league in progress. Please check your email. It may have filtered through to junk/spam if you can't see it. Cheers, Andrew

I am interested in joining, however I don't have an army ready to play with yet :/ I'm still in the process of building and I doubt it will be ready by July 28th, but maybe.

I live in port Melbourne so near to Melbourne CBD is perfect for me.

I live in the CBD and am interested... Just got back into it though and still learning 8th ed with a High Elf army.

Thanks for your interest! Please PM me with your email and phone number so we can have alternate means of contacting you prior to club launch.

Hi raptor, our minimum requirement is that they are assembled and undercoated. No painting is required for now. Hope that makes it easier!

Im a cheltenham person myself but id be interested in coming along but maybe not on a regualr basis becouse this would make the 3rd gaming club im entered into

We would love to have you join us anyway. Please pm me your name, email and Phone number so it's easy to get in contact when we have more info to announce. - Andrew

Just thought I'd stop by to give these guys a free bump.

I went to the club Saturday as a fill-in and had a great time. The guys were very welcoming and I had a couple of fun games.

Based on the day I've expressed my interest in joining the club for their next season and recommend others who may have been sitting on the fence do the same.

Information on our club open day, on Saturday 30 June is on page 1 of this thread.

I live in port Melbourne and I want to come, there's just no way my army is going to be ready in time! I'm going to have to really get cracking.

I have sent a PM with interest in this club , thankyou

cheers Tom

Email sent regarding your big 4v4 game.

Cheers

Thanks Enigma, I've now replied to you and put you on the reserved list =)

Bump

Can I come by to the open day without an army? I'm thinking of starting up a Warhammer army if I can find a good club to join. Do I have to pay the same fee if I'm not playing?

Hi ZarkinFrood
Please feel free to come by. No entry fees for just watching!
I've PM'd you as well to discuss further.
Cheers, Andrew
