Manchester Hell Dorado “Charity” Second Tournament 18th May 2008

[Darth-Swen]

As promised I just called Goef to state what I (we) are allowed to difuse and what has to be approved first.

First of all Geof would like to apologise to didn't answer all your e-mails and request. The actual Demon reinforcement box packaging error (http://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/2008/04/28/14144)  has kept him busy for a long time as he has to deal with all the customer requests to replace parts.

His silence doesn't mean he doesn't care about us, English/American players. It is just he can't find the time to sort everything out.

To solve this probleme I proposed myself as a focus point to support him. From now I invite you to directly send me your requests/remarks/questions and I will compile everything before I forward it to him. This way he will have to deal with only one interface which will make his life easier.

Regarding the terrain rules he is happy to make my document public as long I cleary identifiy it as "Unofficial".
He wants it clear because this document is not accurate and will most probably differ from the official terrain rules Asmodee should produce soon. So feel free to use it but keep in mind it will evolute.

Regarding the request from Geof for a proofreading of the recruitment cards I will forward the Word document to all the guys who proposed their services. At the same time I will provide you some basic rules to respect for the corrections. Again, the idea is to make Geof work easiest.

If you have any question or any request feel free to contact me by MP

Best regards

Sounds fair enough.  I eagerly await the cards for proof reading.   

[Darth-Swen]

I forward it I soon I got it. Should not be long 

[lapiaz]

hello  Darth ,
what about your Unofficial terrain rules. I have been using them. and  it is quite a good translation . And as Geof gave is blessing 

I still have a copy of the document if you need it ...   and to be honest  now  that people are playing  seriously  and  even planing tournament,  it is quite  lame  to organize one and no use one of the best  thing this game  have ... The terrain rules   

[Darth-Swen]

As I explained my translation of the terrain rules could now be freely used.

I share your point of view when you say it is an important part of the game.

Now I am convinced games duration will have to be extended for the English tournaments. Taking the Manchester one as exemple, 50min for a game including "terrain" phase sounds far too short

[lapiaz]

short indeed ,and a complete missinterpretation of how the game play  if you ask me ...  been able to place terrain that give you a particular advantage  depending wich  hell szona are you playing  is a  so cool part of this game ....

Cheers for sharing

[hippiecrap]

thanks for this mate.

I think if every one studies these, and is up to speed. then, the extra time won't add too much to the game 5 mins maybe. but if every one is stood there reading how it works, reading the descriptions of the scenery, then you could be looking at 20 mins - 30 mins. I've seen how some people read at tournies.

Jackie, if you can get these printed off and left in FB3 for people who don't come on the net so they can have a look, plus they can try them out on tuesday/ wed for me n dog.

[Flipper19]

I'll have a set of these on me at all times while im in the shop till jackie can get them printed off.  (As he has a far better printe than me.)

If you need some stuff printing off I have a combination of work printers and work postage system to abuse.   

[hippiecrap]

Dog I want everything and that includes the templates.

GO GO GO

I actually printed off the templates onto some black card the other day.  You can see it well enough to cut out and it looks quite nice.

[jackyphoenix]

Thank you all for contributing towards the ruling on the terrain ruling.

1.   I am happy to resolve the printing issues so long someone get me a copy of everything that need printing... ie the terrain and the rules...
a.   A copy will be available at Fanboy
b.   A copy will be available to each player on the day... 10 mins reading time before the event start. (while I do the parings)
c.   The timing per round will be increased
.
2.   Could I take a Poll here...what players would like to play a. Funeral Rites or b. Terrain with Scenario (as played at the first event)?

Jacky

[hippiecrap]

I think we should play the scenarioes and the new unofficial terrain setup rules

The terrain rule look interesting but I do not think we should use them for this tournament.

They seem bitty & will add 10-15 minutes to the game time - which is pushed anyway.

However the killer is that there is not enough appropriate scenery at FB3 to realistically use them ie there are a load of (large) woods & rocks & some fences, hills & buildings but no lava, ice fields other funky stuff.

To make the scenery rules work I believe you would need to ask everyone to bring along about 8-12 points worth of their own terrain.

I would rather have preset up scenery & some sop rule like the player with most scouts gets to choose sides.
