Escalation League

[cavalier1864]

OK Gang, this forum has been entirely too quite, and I totally blame the media. Would folks be interested in starting an Escalation League Campaign in September?

<---New to the hobby

What are the details? what do I need?

HI Rutkowml,

What you will need is interest, excitement, and a desire to learn the game. I will run an orientation session to acquaint new players with the basic rules and go over the forces so we can find a good fit for everyone. For the first session, I will provide some units for those who have none.

As the Escalation will start at 400 Points, you should likely concentrate on an HQ and 2 Troop choices from your Codex of preference. Again, don't worry, just keep checking in to see when and where the orientation will be (likely sometime around 9/15).

I assume you mean 40k, simply because that's all I have at the moment. I would certainly like to get involved, I could gather up 400 points of SM or Tyranids atm (hope you don't mind if most are unpainted).

Unfortunately I will be unavailable from the 15th to the 2nd of October. But count me in after that.

Yes, sorry, I did mean Warhammer 40000, and I should have actually said as much, lol. Thanks

[cavalier1864]

Oh, dear, I hope that I am not too late: Breathe Bill! BREATHE!

On a more serious note, I am going to make a last try to coordinate with Manny and Jeff tonight. Also, I will be over at the store in case anyone wants to throw down against Dark Eldar or play Battletech

I recommend Battletech.... just sayin'
