Bif: To answer your question, it depends on the rule system you use for movement. I play with John Leary (and reqularly get my butt handed to me in the fight I might add) and we use a modified movement system. We move slowest to fastest then shoot fastest to slowest (by thrust rating). We have done a couple 10,000 point (total) games in roughly two to three hours. Of course we do not write down movement orders and are there just to roll dice. I will try and keep track of what happens to what side, length and all the other good stuff for the list. I will then try to write it up with some sembalance of proper english spelling. (God's gift to humans, at least one is spell checkers). John W. Fox Still painting like mad. > John W. Fox wrote

And thanks for the "Carter Island Award" reminder... Thanks again to all of those guys who are helping to make my dream of a GZG West Coast Con come true! I'll see you all in about 19 hours...

The painting area and the fumes were a problem for some. One good way to get a 'good' camo scheme on a tank or ship is to try and paint while you're driving to the convention.

Jon: I am the Full Thrust game that starts off the Saturday line of events. It would be in my favor if I was not painting on the table as it was playing. Gives new meaning to "Fog of War" especially if it is paint across your sensors . I will try and put out a blurb on what happened, rules, setup, etc for the game a couple days (ie do not expect it monday) after we get done. John W. Fox > John Fox wrote:

Damn, wish I had time to get all of my KV painted up, but work has had a tendency to occupy my time lately (thank you CA state Legislature for all of your frigging standardized testing ideas). I'll have a rather motley looking fleet of KV, but at least all of my ESU stuff is painted:) Mark > John Fox wrote: > Ted:
