Autumn Assault 98 Post-Event Blurb

When: Sat Nov 14 1998 Where: Ottawa What: 2 Stargrunt Scenarios EFSB Scenario
FT Scenario

FT was big NAC fleet (probably about 7-8 heavy capitals, plus
cruisers, frigates, destroyers, corvettes, and lots of fighter groups) vs. a
Savasku fleet. Maybe Tom will post how this one came out as he ran it.

EFSB was Narn vs. Centauri with the Centauri trying to kill a big huge monster
called the BinTak. Good battle apparently. Excellent painted minis.

SG2 #1 was Coup D'Etoile which was also known as Junta Grunt. Based off the
boardgame Hunta, players played factions (army, navy, air force, police,
president, and maybe some others). They all vied to control objective
buildings and either support or destroy El Presidente. Playtests I played were
a hoot. Treachery and violence... and all in the spirit of fun.

SG2 #2 was my event, an OU/UN assault versus an LLAR/NSL held
position. I am working on a detailed AAR with photos of before, during and
after the battle, as well as OBs, analysis, and pointers to some rules we
used. A good fight. Will post links to the AAR later
this week - to whichever list seems appropriate....

These events were sponsored jointly by Geo-Hex (Thanks KR!), Ground
Zero (Thanks Jon T), and Eureka (Thanks Nic!). No one went away empty handed
who played in these scenarios, and several sets of various
rules were handed out - new blood for the machine! The minis were
well recieved too. The players involved, and also some number of
interested passers-by were given some bumpf which listed
distributors, net resources, and a bit about each of the GZG games. Thanks to
all the sponsors, I think a very good impression was made. Thanks to Tom, and
Jim and Dean who ran the other events.

See you in the funny papers.
