I would definately recommend raising the amount of time for games.  With table moving, general chatting, drink buying etc cutting into the time it only really leaves 30mins for a game.  While I finished two out of three games on Saturday in time, I did feel that my second game finished much too early on the second turn. 

I`d probably recommend 50min games, with an hour between games in order to let people recoop and get drinks in.

If I manage to translate a couple of the missions from that Chronicles of Zeabuggilywuggly document I borrowed off of you would you be up for trying some of them ?

[jackyphoenix]

Ok. Thanks for your recommendation…
Agreed but on the ground that last event, some players are still try to familiar the rules but I am aware at this coming event, we have more new players are coming…

1. The time per rounds are to be increase:
2. We definitely have to run at least four to five game.

[Bork]

4 games is possible. 5 i doubt we'd manage. i think as time goes on games will take less time as players are far more familiar with the rules etc, thus time of each missions will drop. in my 3 games we played til turn 4 and it took about an hour. a good lot of that time was clarifying rules and looking up what conquest points we'd won etc.

[Dogmeat]

and looking up what conquest points we'd won etc.

we have more new players are coming…

Two reasons combined to drop the conquest points thing.  Not sour grapes or anything but I`m fairly sure they weren`t done right by everybody.  It was going into round 3 and I was still getting statements like "Can you get these more than once a game?" and "I get one point for every knockdown".

A few nice and simple(ish) scenarios so you have less victory stuff to worry about would be best (IMHO).  Something more along the lines of :

Game 1 : Player who causes the most damage wins.
Game 2 : Player who holds the most ninths wins.
Game 3 : Player with most models within 10cm of scenery wins.

etc etc.  Stuff like that.

Much easier for people to remember how they actually win the game.  My first game I was pulverised heavily but yet still won somehow.  It kinda didn`t feel right.

1. The time per rounds are to be increase:
2. We definitely have to run at least four to five game.

I`d go for four games with an hour per game.  I`m not sure if a split for the top two is needed.  Surely in the fourth game the top table should have the best two players on it anyway.

Afterall, anybody who wants to stay and play can do anyway and four rounds is hovering around my stamina mark.

I have no problem trying different kind of format.
The mission one was done according to the official rules and it was informed to order players in advance.

I guess as long as we agreed a set of format and inform everyone in advance. I see no problem. 

[jackyphoenix]

Wave 5 Stuff hit the shelves at FB3...The Models look good... Feel like picking up westerners...

[hippiecrap]

are we going to be doing the official rules on this? with all the scenery setting up. If we are, I really think we could be pushed in 45 mins.

There are some translations of the scenarioes floating about, can we use them? they seem simple enough from what I've read.

[Dogmeat]

As a side note, I`ve collected the tournament rules and terrain rules here.

[hippiecrap]

Nice one dog, I presume you're down for this?

O yeah Can you put my name down and Stu's name down. for this.

Yep.  As long as I know about `em, I should be there.

[hippiecrap]

It's all good, I've just got to finish putting stuff together and get a base coat done on all the models I'm going to use.

The terrain rules you're proposing have not been officialy approved by Asmodee. I know it for sure because I am the one who produced this translation and I was still in contact with Geof to released it.

Somebody probably used one copy I sent to an english mate for correction and made it public. It is a mistake understanding Asmodee has strict rules regarding translations and unofficial documents.
By doing this guy didn't respect the will of the different autors.

Even if I appreciate this project is going really slowly I will not accept somebody uses shortcut for your own satisfaction.

Any remarks contact me by MP

Best regards

Oops.

I`d been led to believe that these terraform rules were "out" and were freely avaliable.  Have now removed.

EDIT :  Ahh ..  I`ve found it.  Here Geof states that it is OK by Team Asmodee for people to show the terrain rules.

I double check with Geof and will keep you in touch
