I have a new event coming up, it's September 23rd. it's for the new Star Wars Minatures Expansion, BOUNTY HUNTERS.

If anyone here would like to join the event, or come in costume, it's be quite fun! Heck, come and play in the event AND be in costume!

Just let me know what sort of "compensation" is needed. I don't want it to be like last time.

The event starts at 1PM SHARP. Getting to the event by 12:30 is best if you plan on entering.


LOCKED at CR Request

I think many of us will be out in Utica that day for The Mighty Mini Con.
But, if that gets cancelled again then I guess we know where we can go instead!
And, don't worry about compensation. The only thing we "need" is the opportunity to talk to people about our club.

The Minis event for this weekend is Saturday the 23rd.

It's for the Bounty Hunters Expansion Release event.

It starts at 1pm.

if you can attend, to play or just be by with costumes.... It's be great!


BTW, Dan might stop by and "cover" the event. I think I might have talked him into a news story for the main page of Rebel Scum!!

I spoke to John John last night. He might be bored this weekend and come up for a visit. If he does, he may wish to play. What are the details on this? Is it a "Booster Draft" again with a $10 fee and prizes afterwards like last time? Or does he need to bring premade teams? Since he doesn't have any SW miniatures, I need to know whether I need to dig out mine for him to use.

As Soon as Curto Gets off his Lazy butt, We'll see it on the main page.

This is a Sealed event, meaning that you buy two boosters and build your team out of that. I will be supplying the maps, you just need to supply the cash and dice. A pencil/paper is also good for tracking force points and damage to yuor chatacters.

COST? $45 bucks.

Yes, I know... OUCH.

Well, with that $45, you get the two boosters (normal cost of them over the counter) along with prize support. It is unknown what the prize support is going to be at this time.

This should be the LAST Release event that's going to cost this much. I've not heard of any more "Huge" boosters. The rest will be normal sized boosters.

Any Questions, you can e-mail me directly at jling1@rochester.rr.com AND/OR john.ling@paetec.com (I check the latter most during the day)

Off topic for the thread - but if John John does visit and wants to melt some plastic, let me know ;-)

Sorry, Darren, John John would probably love to, but he is extremely allergic to cats. Years ago when we went to a New Year's party at Amy's house with 2 cats, he had such an asthma-like attack even with allergy medicine that we had to leave after 15 minutes because he couldn't breathe. We almost took him to the emergency room. He used to stay with us when he visited. Our dog, Bella, didn't really bother him at all when he took Benadryl. However, when we got our second dog, Zeus, his long hair causes him to wheeze within 30 minutes with Benadryl even though the room he stayed in is off limits to the dogs. So, he stays at a hotel when he visits now.

Well, John John is not coming up this weekend. He couldn't believe the price of flights to Rochester right now. Since we didn't get out to Waterloo while on vacation with Diane and Bill, we may do that on Saturday instead. Remember Saturday is [url=http://www.123greetings.com/events/chocolate_day]Chocolate Day[/url] so we may celebrate it at [url=http://www.harryanddavid.com]Harry & David's[/url] there. I love their fruit chocolates. But, it depends on how Tom feels - he finally caught my cold that I either got from Bill or my boss.

I went.
There were about 5 of us playing.
It was a good way to just...relax...for a couple of hours.
Got some bad--- minis too.
My Mandalorian War Droid was the envy of everyone mischief

So, is there a theme for Saturday's gaming? What kind of team should I put together?

From what John has told me...this is a 150pt battle of Fringe personnel only.
Thats anyone with a regular Mandalorian Symbol on their card.

150 pt. - okay, 100 pt teams can be tough to put together. Ohhh - I just noticed that the Mandalorian's from the new Bounty Hunter packs have a slighty different symbol than Fringe characters. sad Oh well, it would have been fun to try out my new Han Solo, Scoundrel, (from the Bounty Hunters) with Senator Leia and a Luke (from Rebel Storm), but I can still use my Wampa. devil Now, I'll only have to go through a third of my minis to form a team. How about other large figures like those from the new packs? Any restriction on unique characters or special abilities?
