I think the con shuts down at 5:30 Sunday night.

Too bad you guys can't make it to the morning tourney, you Cook boys really know your SWM. Well that will make it easier on the rest of us.

Thankfully FFG released an X-Wing FAQ today, so I can follow that and avoid disputes.

FFG FAQ says different so its safe to bring your Garvin squads everyone, he can hand out Focuses without actually using them.

Can I get some confirmed numbers here people? These Hammercon organizers are pretty hung up on expected attendance. Thanks.

3 Cooks are in and ready to battle!

Hammercon is now a go. Official Posting

Hammercon, Crowne Plaza Hamilton, 3rd Floor 150 King St. East

Sunday, November 3, 1:30 to 5:30

Tournament is free with admission to con. Prices vary, $40 for weekend pass, $15.00 for adults Sunday only, Children 10-14 $10.00, Children under 10 free

Tournament registration is limited to 12 players. First come first serve, pm me for pre-registration to hold your spot.

Rounds will be limited to 60 minutes.

Bumping up! 3-D Asteroids up for grabs for top spot!

How many do you think Don. Since there are no playoffs can we make sure that the 3 cooks do not face off vs each other?

See you for SWM!!!

Hey it's going to be Swiss pairings with only 12 players. Winners will play winners. You Cooks are no slouches so I would say good chance someone is playing against someone at some point. Definitely not first round though.

Don, FFG said that one of the Kessel Run Tournies is being run by Lion Ramparts in Hammilton. Do you have any info on this?

Chris

Lion Rampant is the exclusive distributor of FFG product in Canada and they happen to be based in Hamilton. For a Canadian LGS to get involved in the Kessel Run event they need to contact LR. Black Knight Games in Hamilton has been in contact with them to let them know they are interested in hosting the event. I do not know of any others in the GTA but it would not be unheard of for one of the Toronto stores to get an event as well. I have no idea how many events Canada has been allocated but hopefully enough that any LGS that shows interest will be able to participate. If you guys have an interested store in the Buffalo area hopefully they'll get one too.

The good news is FFG will be announcing where the Kessel Runs are happening I believe as early as next week, so we'll see.

Lets hope they get it, it sounds fun. I called the store near me and they didnt even here of the game. such is gaming in Buffalo. We got to come to the great white north as we jam to the new hip cd to play X. but that is fun also…

The owner is very confident he's got a lock on it.

hey im sure you will kick some butt also. what are you thinking of taking? I love wedge rookie and tim horton but am afraid of going vs swarm ties, like luke did vs me at your tourney. Do u think that they can survive? Only killing 1 tie a pass doesnt seem to cut it. I feel that x wings will go down fast with that many ties. What are your experiences? Also, can we borrow a couple ships that day again?

Chris

Too soon to say what I'll be using.

3 ship Rebel builds have a real uphill battle with Swarms, they need to make a couple of kills on the first encounter to gain some momentum.

4 Rebels seem to be able to handle them better if you can get Biggs in there making them waste their attacks on longshots.

Just let me know what you need before and I'm sure I'll be able to help you out filling out your squads.

Did you happen to notice one of your range rulers has black edges now? I think we got them mixed up last time.

Does anyone know if these locations are for sure? I've tried to contact places for details and no one has gotten back to me at all. Looking for something in Toronto if possible.

X Planet has confirmed they are running the event this weekend and they have the ships. Have not seen anything from the others.

Hi,

I am looking for people and places to Play in The MIssausaga, Brampton area. Also dealers. I love this game and am becoming totally immersed in it

I am setting up an introduction day in Brampton in January for anyone who would like to learn the game and see what kind of interest we can get to start a league or a gaming group. It will be hosted by Cardboard Memories…stay tuned for further details

Black Knight has confirmed for the 22nd.

Hobby Kingdom in Burlington has the kit as well, but they are planning on holding their event first weekend of Jan, but no concrete date yet.
