Events that kill minis

1. OT - Chris, there is no Narn-proof armour. That was a suit of very
permeable material we sold a particularly dense Centauri that started this
whole rumor. Nothing is Narn-proof. Especially if the Narn is angry.

2. When I attended Gen Con 87, I watched a huge Battletech game between FASA
designers and the distributors. Beautifully painted mechs all. When one lost
an arm, they'd hand it to one of the spectators with pliers or side cutters to
perform the modification. I personally removed a part of the torso, one arm,
and one leg from a particular mech. It was still standing and fighting. When
the mech died, they either used a power drill or a hammer or both to produce
the debris. At the end of the game (a core meltdown in the background
nukeplant), one of the designers started gathering up the remaining mechs.
Another got out Mr.Hammer and went to town. It became a race and that was
almost as much fun as the event itself.

This style of events has to be pre-advertised as such, but I think if
someone played BYOS and suggested that it was a "sacrificial" event (or a
capture event, or a ransom for charity), then people could plan accordingly. I
like the ransom for charity. I'd even do up a great job on the figures just to
raise more money for the disadvantaged. What would be neat is if we
could raise some money for a Lancaster charity - make them even happier
to have us come to town! I can spare the cost of a squad of SG2 guys (Can't be
more than $20) plus some of my time to paint if it benefits a good cause. I
think this is a brilliant idea. If it was a "sacrificial" event, I've got an
awful lot of old GW figs that "need killin'".

You could always make the ransom an auction, with spectators bidding for
the right to smash the figs. ;->=

You go THIS crazy, and I'll lend the chaotic evil stones of figure crushing.
After all, they've got 20yrs of history, and went to several
other conventions after GenCon XIII (don't you love the number? ;->= )

I'd suggest an other-than-squad game, though. AH's Gladiator with figs
was one game that worked well...

Well as one of the GMs I volunteer the services of my pliers and bottle of
blood red paint.
