I had an idea about creating a Gamer's Choice tournament or game event in Abington once a month. The idea is that the player in the community create unique and creative game formats that are competitive, but break free of traditional mission based games. I have been doing this somewhat at the store (the tomb world raid, team capture the flag, and the 7 man-free-for-all 1500 pt King of the Hill) and there has been a real taking to the custom formats. There would be prizes perhaps; ten dollars to play with the pool split between the store and winner, or everyone brings bitz and the bitz pool becomes the prize. The objective could be for a store title or trophy. We would create prizes along these lines (ideas that shift from month to month).
This could start in July (maybe the 28th). I was thinking about running a 515 pt (515 is just a odd number and feels right for this) death man squad seek and destroy. HQs would have to been taken along with 4 troop models. The rest of the points can be in anything but vehicles or other HQs. Every model in the squad acts as an independent character and can break rank if wanted. This would be played over a multiple table play area with everyone at the event playing at the same time.
The Objective: each player selects one model in their squad to be the carrier. the ideas is to hunt and kill every one else carrier, scoring a kill point for every carrier killed. At the end of five rounds, whoever has the most kill points wins. The fluff is that the carrier is holding something of high importance that you would never want the enemy to have. The carrier could be marked by a piece of masking tape under base or written down and given to myself or store employee. If this goes well I did create rules for a 4 team HQs only DEATH BALL for next month. What does everyone think?
