Yes, but his point still stands.  If don't get it turn 1, you have to start doing as he says turn 5.

Lots of mention of "any unit, scoring or not" - does this overwrite the book's definition of denial units? That is, can a vehicle/flier now deny objectives and table quarters? (I hope not...)

I would agree the notion of hoping not.  I dont think Chase has any intention of letting vehicles contest.

I'm aware of some of these issues and they will be changed before the event.

It is important to note that these are NOT the scenarios from the book.  Applying rules that are in the book scenarios and are NOT in the mission packet is a mistake.

Also, please excuse the lack of diligence on my part, I have been preparing for tonight + this weekend.  Both Battleground locations are likely to see more people come through the doors and play in events from 6:00pm this Friday to 10:00pm this Sunday than any other weekend before.

If you are looking to standardize the person to roll the Night Fight, I would suggest the person who lost the roll to go first.
Personally I don't think it matters who rolls the random outcome, but this will simplify who does it.

If you have to have a designated person then make it the person who won the roll to go first.

A disagreement! You two should 4+ it. Just as soon as you decide who rolls the 4+.  :P  Of course, I'm being an ass to illustrate the point, that the simple act of rolling game-changing dice should come with a rule that states who actually rolls the dice. Personally, if I felt it was important in a situation I'd want to roll, but if my opponent feels the same way, then what? Starting games off with disagreements leads to two hours of uncomfortableness.

Honestly Ben you are missing the point.  The night fight roll is in no way shape or form a game changing result.  With the changes in night fight it is an obsticle at best and not a game changer.  As for the roll is honestly DOESNT matter so I would let the loser of the go first roll, roll it.  There problem solved and no need for a dumb 4+ roll added to it.

See how easy that was....

I get your point. You don't care and you don't think it's important. That said, what's the harm in having a rule? If you don't care who rolls, why would you care if we made such a rule?

I'm sorry, but I don't care and I don't think it's important.  I thought you were bringing it up as a joke.

This has never, never been an issue in my recollection.

LOL your right Ben house rules over minor issues that need complicated resolution are always a plus and add to the game experience...

Good luck at the tourny.  Chase always hosts a great event.

What's simplest is if there's no Night Fighting at all. That would solve all my concerns in one fell swoop.

Random global effects are the type of thing one would see in Ard Boyz... well, if that were actually still a thing.

I'm pretty sure NOVA did "round 1 = Night Fight" which is why I originally asked if each round should start that way.

Several people said they would like to see it rolled.  It's weird.

What is "by the book"?
