BLASTED HEATH AT WHATEVER!!

We will be meeting at WHATEVER in the DuBois Mall (DuBois, PA) on Saturday at NOON for the wrap up of BLASTED HEATH, the second SHATTERED GROUNDS League.

Come on down, and roll some dice.

SHATTERED GROUNDS: NIGHTFALL

It's a new year and a new edition of Warmachine and Hordes so it only seems right that Privateer has completely redefined organized league play with Shattered Grounds: Nightfall.


Set in the undead plagued Scharde Isles, Shattered Grounds: Nightfall introduces a number of new aspects to league play:

- Season specific model rules to apply to your existing models.

- An online map updated daily with in game bonuses for the factions that control specific areas of the map.

- A Battle Journal to keep track of your achievements throughout the league.

- Unlockable stratagems that can be used in game.

- A Finale event where all map bonuses will apply and you will have an entire day to win glory for your faction

Registering for the League is only $10 and will include a Battle Journal you can use all year long. Future Leagues will cost a little less since you won't be paying for the Battle Journal.

The League will run from 4/5 through 4/25.

WARMACHINE Wednesdays at WHATEVER!!

That's right. WARMACHINE IN THE WILDS wants to invite you to WARMACHINE wednesdays at Whatever!! in the DuBois Mall.

Right now, we're not focused on running fancy formats or giving away prizes. That's just not what it's about. It's about having fun, right? So let's gather together when we can and have some fun.

We're going to get some play time in withe the MKii rules, and also try out the 2010 Steamroller format.

Oh yeah, and you can bring your HORDES stuff too. We won't tell anybody...

Come on out, and have some fun!

FLASH POINT MEDALS

These are the medals you can win during FLASH POINT. Nifty, huh?

NEXT DEMO DAY IS THURSDAY 10/01/09

The WARMACHINE Demo Day at WHATEVER!! in the DuBois Mall will be Thursday October 1, 2009 rather than Friday October 2, 2009. Friday is busy at the store due to Friday Night Magic. Please make sure to pass the word and sorry for the late notice on the error!

Don't forget that FLASH POINT is Saturday October 10, 2009.

WHAT'S UP IN THE PA WILDS?

Well, we have a few things to discuss very quickly.

First, there is a Demo Day scheduled for October 2, 2009 from 3 pm -7 pm at Whatever!! in the DuBois Mall DuBois, PA. This has been mentioned in previous posts if you wish to read more. I have two demos scheduled already for the day but if you'd like to come on out I'd love to see you. You can learn to play WARMACHINE and also get a peek at the newest faction: The Rebribution of Scyrah. More information is located at the link below:

Then we have FLASH POINT on October 10th, 2009. Come on down to Whatever!! in the DuBois Mall and join in on the fun. More details are available by clicking on the link below:

And if you already own Narn, and need his new stats card, please be aware of the special announcement from Privateer Press about this model.

And don't forget about your tournament shirts! Get them put together and "wear your colors" to Flash Point in order to participate in a raffle for a Top Secret prize. You don't want to miss out on this.

That's all for now. Don't forget to check in with the staff at Whatever!! for your special orders. They have a new schedule that will make special orders easier to manage. Meet the deadline and you'll have your order in a few days.

Keep rollin' sixes!

YOU WERE WARNED!

In order to hype up the coming release of Privateer Press's Retribution of Scyrah release in September, I will be scheduling at least two Demo Days at Whatever!! in the DuBois Mall. I am not sure exactly what days I will be doing this as of yet ... but it will fall sometime between September 4th and October 2nd. I am aiming for Thursday night for these demos. It mainly depends on how long it takes me to get my shiny new Retribution models from the Company and then how long it takes my lazy self to get them assembled and painted. But ... you have been warned.

Remember that the Retribution book and models will be coming out in September. Talk to the staff at Whatever!! to special order your models.

http://privateerpress.com/warmachine/retribution-of-scyrah-preview-page

The purpose of the demo will be three-fold:

1. For new people to try the game and learn how to play.
2. For veterans to wage war on the Retribution and see how the new factions preforms.
3. To prepare for FLASHPOINT, a event that will celebrate the launch of the new faction.

You can read more about WARMACHINE and get free Quick Start Rules by clicking on the following link:

http://privateerpress.com/warmachine/the-game

All items needed to play with be supplied during Demo Days. Participation in Demo Days is free of charge. Come in and roll some dice.

And if you are already playing WARMACHINE, then bring in your models and throw down with the Angry Elves ... they'll be waiting.

SUMMER RAMPAGE STANDING

I was thinking about it today and realized that the most intelligent thing would not be to assign League points but to calculate Control Points in order to show players where they stand for earning the Summer Rampage '09 pins. (Duh!) So without further ado...

(From the Summer Rampage '09 PDF rules by Privateer Press:)

Awards:
First, second, and third place pins will be awarded to the players
with the top 3 accumulated control points. In the event of a tie, the
higher ranked pin will go to the player who earned more Control
Points.
Tip: Show Me the Money!
In the 2009 Summer Rampage league, a new prize is
on the line – the order that the Mk II force books are
released in 2010.
All WARMACHINE force books will be released before
the HORDES force books, but within their own game,
Summer Rampage determines the book order.
Factions with more territories at the end of Summer
Rampage will receive priority for their book’s release
with any ties being broken by the overall Control
Points of the tied factions.
Watch the league map carefully to secure victory in
disputed territories.

• Justin: 4 wins ( 500 x4) 12 Control Points
  
• Vic: 3 wins (500 x2 and 750 x1) 11 Control Points
  
• Dwight: 3 wins (500 x3) 9 Control Points
  
• John: 1 win (500 x1) 3 Control Points
  
• Macchi: 1 win (500 x1) 3 Control Points
  
• Larry: 1 win (500 x1) 3 Control Points
  
• Rich: Ringer
  

Please review your list of games and make sure that I am not making a mistake on my calculations.

THE BATTLE RAGES ON

Summer Rampage continues tonight at Whatever Sports Apparel & Games in the DuBois Mall. The local crew will be gathering to get in some games.
Tonight is Free Play night in the store, and we're using it as our Official League Night. Come on out tonight and roll some dice.

SUMMER RAMPAGE 2009

As of right now The Summer Rampage Ladder is as follows:

• Vic: 2 wins
• Dwight: 2 wins and 1 loss
• Justin: 2 wins and 2 losses
• John: 1 win and 1 loss

And here's some good information provided by Justin via email:

http://privateerevents.com/rampage#scroll

We'll want to check this before we play any games. It should be updated each day by Privateer Press. When you play a game this determines which player gets to choose which territory the battle takes place in. There are 12 territories.

Rules and maps can be downloaded from here. They are linked at the bottom of the page.

The global effects are described on page 1 and 2 of this document. http://privateerevents.com/public/docs/Summer-Rampage-2008-scenarios-and-effects.pdf

IMPORTANT. Rich, Vic, Dwight and I are registered for the event online thus far. The rest of you need to do so. Go here http://www.privateerevents.com/
