Come on out and have some fun. 1 Stasy reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stasy 2,502 Posted June 21, 2015 I'll have to see what my schedule looks like heading into that weekend. May have to think about the two and a half hour trip down to York. And see if I can get any better at this game in the meanwhile. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kac 146 Posted June 21, 2015 We'd love to see you. I certainly understand about the drive and hope you can work that out. Do not worry at all about the getting better at the game, that's the whole point of what we're trying to accomplish. You're welcome at any skill level, and we hope you'll be better when you walk out the door as compared to when you walked in. 1 Stasy reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dbb143 39 Posted June 23, 2015 Additionally, there should be plenty of extra cards and models for people who are interested in playing but don't own any game components. I could easily build 2 additional fleets on top of the 1 I will be fielding. As kac said, we are just trying to get people interested in enjoying what we believe is a fantastic game.

Boardy 79 Posted July 5, 2015 Wish you guys were just an hour or two closer. Six hours is just more than I can justify for a one day event. If Scranton was on the way I would SO do it anyway. 1 Stasy reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kac 146 Posted July 5, 2015 Wish you could be there too, Boardy. I also have games in VA, don't know if you can get as far as Leesburg. PM me if you're ever headed or willing to head in a northerly direction. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PM me if you're ever headed or willing to head in a northerly direction. Still too far for a 'cold' trip, but if I am up that aways I'll talk to you.

Darth Ravenor 6 Posted July 10, 2015 Ill be making the trek up from DE for this. I will bring my entire collection to help supply fleets if needed as well. 1 Stasy reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kac 146 Posted July 11, 2015 Ill be making the trek up from DE for this. I will bring my entire collection to help supply fleets if needed as well. Darth, that's very kind of you. As our whole goal is to encourage new players, several of us are doing the same thing. I would love it if someone just walks up, never having played the game before, uses our pieces, and gets hooked. In any case, we'll have a good time and at the very least provide some new opponents for everyone, which of course will lead to seeing new lists and new tactics. I would love it if everyone there walks out a better player, no matter the point from where you walked in. 2 Stasy and Darth Ravenor reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stasy 2,502 Posted July 18, 2015 See you guys in a couple of hours! Got my fleet form filled out, just need to sort out my travel bag of ships!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stasy 2,502 Posted July 19, 2015 Had a blast even with the shellacing I took. Guess nothing beats seat time in any game. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kac 146 Posted July 19, 2015 Hey everybody, thanks so much for coming out and making this such a success. Two things I definitely want to mention off the bat: 1. Thanks so much to the people who drove a good way for this thing. Hope you found it a lot of fun and a challenge. 2. To the brand newbs: We had one person play who had literally never played the game before, and a few others who only had one or two games under their belts. I can't praise your bravery enough, and you all played in a fashion to make others think you had much more experience than you did. Congrats, thanks for being there, and hope you learned enough about the system to make you enjoy it even more. One other thing: Thank you Darth Ravenor for coming out. Not only did you provide some of the tournament prizes, but you also were a superior player and earned your win. Can't wait to get over to your home turf and try my best against you. Everyone was pleasant, no jerks, all people helping each other. I had a fantastic time and hope you did too. 1 Stasy reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boardy 79 Posted July 19, 2015 Glad everybody had a good time. Maybe next time I can join you even with the day's drive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wjgo 98 Posted July 24, 2015 When is the next event? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kac 146 Posted July 25, 2015 Well, amusingly, we (primarily meaning the store) got a tournament pack in last week, so we're now in the process of selecting a date for the next one. Obviously, the store has a bigger role in that decision than anyone else, but I'm guessing about 45 days-ish, but that's just a guess. I would like at least 30 days to promote it to get the same kind of excellent turnout we got this past time. As soon as we have a date, we will post it in a new thread. Thanks very much for your interest. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
