So, what's next?

[andalucien]

I want to start thinkin' about what I might be paintin' and playin' if I were able to go to another tournament after this Saturday.

Some people say Eldar in June, some people say Space Marines in June.. I say Eldar in November. No one really knows but everyone will know soon enough.

[andalucien]

Heh, I meant, what's the next Battleground tourney?   I don't think I need to be starting any totally NEW armies anytime soon.

[Chase]

May will not feature another event outside of the 500 pointer.  We'll likely do something in late June, which may be the start of this year's Invitational Qualifier season.

chase tried doing league last year. It looked great and interesting... unfortuently come the lleague night there were only like 4 of us signed up

[Chase]

There's something in the works for a league.

That's about all I'm willing to divulge at this point.

BG is going to take a small break as far as organized 40k goes from mid May - late June.

Is there any thoughts yet to the next Megabattle? Date range?

[Chase]

Megabattle will be after 6th edition Apocalypse comes out (rumored to be this summer), so probably in September.

structured leagues are difficult.  I tend to find they are more successful when player run.  The key to league play is flexability.  Having a night is great but having the ability to get the game in whenever is a key thing.

The last one Chase tried to do was semi-flexible

You could get your game in any day of the week although i think you had to be there for league night every week to choose your movement or something

[Grimwulfe]

Thats the key you need to be flexable on moves etc.  Let people email them in or post on forums put the map on the forums or have its own webpage.  Forcing people to come in on a certain day is setting up the league for failure.

agreed, which is probably why only like 4 people committed last time.

To pull it off all you really need is everyone to commit to be on the forums at whatever time the moves are going to be. The guys at my station pull off a fantasy football draft online every year without too many hiccups and tiny spacemen are cooler than sports you know.

I'll say that I have done a league @ BG some time ago and it was a lot was fun. It requires more commitment then a 1 day 1 shot tourney, but there is more flexibilty with dates and length of gametime. There is generally a generic league day (Thurs for example), but if you can't make that day then you and your opponent can agree to play a different day, as long as its in the same week. Also its only 1 game for a given day, as opposed to a tourney where you are playing 3 games over the course of 7 hours all in 1 day.. the dynamic is very different.

[andalucien]

I think I'd be really interested in a league.   One game in a day is kinda perfect actually.
