I can't make it out there, but looks like there'll be some play in Ypsilanti on Saturday.
Any SE Michigan games?
I'm still planing on being at RIW on Thursday. I want to try out my new Lambda.
On another note, I'm trying to find a table to play on at home and try out different squad setup by myself. It appears however that a 3ft X 3ft table is hard to find.
RIW on Thursdays is tough for me because it means I would have to leave the lab early to get out to Livonia by 6, and then I would be hungry not long thereafter. I'm still trying to figure a way to make RIW work in my schedule.
I do plan on gaming in Ypsi this Saturday. I think we should try to make Saturdays in Ypsi a thing if we can convince enough people to participate regularly.

Taco Bell's drive though is a great solution to the hunger problem. Plus, if you're playing against Johdo, you can totally take 20min to eat and still have plenty of time to setup your squad before he finishes setting his up =P.
As I said on Sunday, I can't make it this week (or next) since I'm out of town.

touche good sir. It never ceases to amaze me how long it takes to get a **** squad ready to go. And you would think i would be quicker at it! *sigh*
On a side note, unless it's like some random Saturday where the wife has disappeared, my likelyhood of making it out to Ypsi for Saturday games is pretty slim. Through the week is all good, and an occasional Sunday seems to be ok. Something about Saturday that's all taboo. Could be the hormones? Lord knows i have learned not to push the bounds on a pregnant woman, that's for sure!
Where at in Ypsilanti are you guys playing this weekend?
All the game stores in the area appear to have their tables booked on Saturdays.
We can play at Eastern Michigan University. We usually use the Facebook MI players group to coordinate. https://www.facebook.com/groups/628108733880477/
The open study rooms in the library or my office on campus can accommodate 1-4 people well. If we have additional interest, I can book a larger venue, so let me know if you are planning on coming.
How does 1PM sound?
I'm also working on stirring up interest within the campus gaming group.

I am subscribed to the facebook group but, tbh, I never used facebook much before. I would be interested in going this weekend, however it is currently 50/50 if I will have to work instead.
I checked out Flat Land Games in Wixom last night. They have a ton of tables and are open till 10 or later every night.They only have X-Wing scheduled for every-other Fridays currently but they have plenty of space if we want to get together there one night. For me, Flat Land Games is super convenient. It is 5 min from my apartment and right on the way home from work.
I'm still planing on being at RIW tonight just after 6.
Sounds good for RIW. I'll prob be there right before 6 as i've been getting out of work earlier, and it's just down the street. That'll give me time to get my squads in order, as apparently it takes me forever.
Did you still want to give your shuttle list a go? I'll whip up 1 Rebel squad, and 1 Imperial squad, and see what happens...
Ya, still planing on trying out the shuttle in at least one game. Toying with Lamda + 2 TIE + TIE/I on the squad builder right now.
ifandbut, I sent you a PM. If you are interested in playing Saturday, I can fill you in on the details.
Anyone going to be able to make it to RIW this Thursday? (Oct 3rd)
I think that I will not be able to make it out to RIW. Things are busy at the lab so I will probably be working late through the middle of next week.
I could probably steal one afternoon off this weekend, though. Do you have any plans for hosting another Ypsi gaming session, Toggle?
Ya, I'm not going to be able to make it to RIW tonight.
There is a tournament tomorrow (10/4) at Flat Land Games in Wixom that I will be going to.
Still in Colorado. But I come back tomorrow, so I'll be on for next week.

I'm game for playing this weekend in the same space if we have 5 or less people. I'm reaching out to the gaming student org on campus (there are a couple people interested in X-Wing) and the event planning office to see what is available for a regular venue with more space. Depending on the options, I hope to put together a larger scale tournament possibly next month.
Try again for RIW this week? (Oct 10th). Can anyone make it?

YES! Yes I can! Finally! I'm stoked to get another game in. They're moving LCG back to Thursdays as well for anyone that's interested in both.

There is a chance that I may actually be able to make it this week, but in any event I will probably be a bit later than 6 PM. Does anyone know if the guys over at RIW mind if we bring food in? I was thinking about picking up a Subway sandwich on the way.
Go ahead and bring in food. If you noticed, I had taco bell at the tourney. And the 40k guys always take a mid-evening break to go get (and bring back) McDonalds.
I'll be at RIW tonight but a bit late, likely around 6:30 or so.
So, I'm out of town this weekend, and next Thursday is Halloween, which I plan to spend at home so I can see all the trick or treaters. So I won't be showing up to RIW until November. I might have to see about doing a one off on another day just to get a few games in - if anyone is interested.
On another topic, in case anyone needs a TIE Fighter expansion, B+N in Royal Oak has two in stock. No TIE/ad, T-65s, or BTL-4s. Oh well.
Yeah, sounds about right. Tis the start of the season when life and family start to control your free time. If it's far enough advance, I could prob swing a weekend to make up for some upcoming Thursdays we'll be missing.
Enjoy the game!
I should be able to make it tomorrow however no issues. Anyone else?
I plan on being at RIW tonight. Will likely be my last time till mid November due to work.
I lie... Halloween isn't until next Thursday. So I will be at RIW this Thursday.
