Where is everyone playing?

amazing mechanics if you ask me. Sigma Golem has been my teacher and playing buddy so far. We are both constructing armies outside of what we have now (Therians). He is doing Red Blok and I am doing Karmens. I can ask him if we can make our Thurs game at Sci- Fi City so it can be a demo of sorts and ou can check it out. The sky seems to be the limit for this game from what I have seen with missions and campaigns. Yea and no Transformer hats just beanies with autobot and decepticon logos. Let us know if you wanna check it out Thursday

Is Mighty Empire the current hex based map campain? If so I believe there is a way to marry the two.

Escalation leagues were listed in White Dwarf over a year ago, maybe two years at this point. We played some at World of Hobbies and Games before the crew there started college and summer stuff one year.

What their goal was to adjust some of the rules to allow for smaller points and units. For instance the unit minimums become half rounded up of the old value, only one artillery, limits on magical items so that people don't just work on a munkin character. Limit on how many points can be spent on characters so people have to field some peons to back them up.

I will endeavor to dig up the rules. They are somewhere around here.

PS

And the big idea was to start low like 200AP and on a weekly or bi-weekly basis increase the values. One option actually had the increase based on win/loss. It is good way to learn the rules (or refresh in my case) and more so to get a personal feel for an army and how it might play or react against other figures.

Min units are rounded up,from older version,does this mean the new AB do not count,or they do.

I believe there are official rules akin to the 40k combat patrol rules somewhere.

I will have a look for them when I have more time.

That sounds cool,but would the table size also have to be smaller for a 200 point game verse a 500 point game?

For most people who aren't complete beginners, it's just a way to get more minis and a nice compact rulebook.
