Friday Night Furball?

By Bohrdumb, in X-Wing

On Monday I ran a little skirmish game via the forums, and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.

I was thinking tonight might also give us a similar opportunity, though likely with a later starting time as I'll have some company this evening.

What I'm proposing is a 'furball.' 5-8 players? (myself included) put together a 35pt ship (one ship - no duplicate pilots) and we duke it out over the forum.

I'll host the game on my dining room table and take loads of pictures for everyone to see. It will be important if you're going to play, that you're staying tuned in to what's going on. Because it's a forum game, it will take some time, but if someone wanders off the game is pretty much dead.

I could see the game not actually starting until close to 10pm EST so finishing before 1am EST is unlikely at best.

What say you all?

And for Tonight's Entertainment: 35Pts with Bohrdumb!

Wish I had the time as I did on Monday but incredibly busy tonight. Will be peeking every so often to see how the fights going.

Also once the match is over maybe re-post the match in Battle Reports. It might get more people to play the game this way. And entice those who don't play yet to play.

Cannot wait until somebody attempts EPIC Format this way.

Also I suggest some upgrade have their "Unique" trait removed:

  • Lone Wolf
  • Squad Leader
  • Experimental Interface
  • R2-D6
  • R5-K6
  • Moff Jerjerrod

Still not to sure about R2-D6 since multiples of him open so many more options for the Rebels while the Empire would be Cut and Dry.

Maybe the Removal of "Interceptor only" from RGT or The Empire also gains access to R2-D6.

Or just play the game by the FFG list building rules.

I'm just spit-balling Ideas so there's less "in-Fighting" between sides while the build their Pilots
