What ever happened with the Campaign?

[Grimwulfe]

Chase or whoever what ever happened to Planatary strike or the 40k campaign that was talked about over the summer.  Is anything like going to happen anytime soon?

It's just been a case of "to much stuff and not enough time to do it."

Throughout September and October Battleground has had a LOT going on, especially on the weekends.  Unfortunately, the side effect of this is that it hasn't left us a lot of time to organize and design the league and map that will go with it.

Maybe the largest issue is the map itself.  The amount of time and effort that went into the Fantasy map was... well... quite a bit.  The 40k map probably has to be bigger, better designed, and done at least as well as the Fantasy version.  It takes a ton of time and requires someone with that amount of time to spend and the required level of skill to make happen.... you know?

Due to this, I am very sad to report that I do not think the 40k league is likely to happen this year.  This is due to several really good reasons that are very likely to benefit everyone greatly down the stretch.

It's unlikely that it will happen any time before the end of the year but you never know....

There will certainly be a forum post about it before it happens and maybe an email too.

Chase,

Thanks for getting back to me.  Maybe having some people volunteer to help put it together would help you out.  I know I would be willing to help and im sure others would as well.  Maybe we could sit down and discuss options.

[Chase]

Yeah, the one aspect about the league that Derek and I did discuss was the fact that we will need help from at least one person in the community.  This person will  be asked to paint or help paint the tiles required for the map.

As far as I know, Derek had a person or few in mind but I don't recall who he mentioned... if he actually mentioned anyone.

If you're in on a Monday night it might be worth asking Derek what he thinks about getting the map together and starting the painting process.

I could help,...but i'm not really the best painter...

i'm pretty sure it's just the store's lack of Gaughran.

I did notice the lack of PG is directly related to a lack of "ladies" at the store.

This is pretty accurate.  It's one of about 3 or 4 reasons why the league has hit a speed bump.
