I've tried out the BF:Evo rules, sort of. The basic mechanics are the same as SST, and they have published the quick-play rules for BF:Evo that shows the changes they have made to the system. I've tried them with my SST minis, and there's not a lot of difference. I generally play a 1000 point game in two hours or less with these armies: Arachnid Army Warriorsx10 Warriorsx10 Warriorsx5 (w/Carrion Bugs) Tiger Warriorsx5 Firefriesx5 Hooper Bugsx3 +Tunnnel Assets MI Army MI LT w/toys MI NCO w/toys Squad A (Sgt, Flamer, Trip Thud, 5 Rifleman) Squad B (Sgt, Flamer, Msl Lnchr, 5 Rifleman) I'm ready to go to tournament Level (2000 points) with the MI Army with other minis I have (CHAS, two MI squads). The bugs is another story. Damn things are so cheap compared to MI, that you really do need "hordes" of them I've got about 1500 points of them, but really need a Brain Bug. The best thing, I'll be albe to use these minis within the SST:Evo system. I'll be getting some BF:Evo minis Soon, some USMC and MEA infantry. My buddies and I have already been talking a PLA invasion of California and MEA infiltrating through Mexico as game scenarios.

Only three? Gee, I feel old...... Congrats!

The Great River Gaming Guild Fall Mini-Con 25NOV06 8am-12pm Admission: $5 at the door Look for us in the basement meeting hall of: The Tangerine Bowl 3530 Maine Street Quincy, IL Paint-N-Take will be available all day starting at 9am Warlord at 1:30pm Seige at Clarmont Station Warlord Scenario Game Overlords vs. Crusaders (all minis provided) taken from a letter in the Archives of Denelspire... The Crusaders of Denelspire have placed a small fortification in Barthos Province, near the Bracken Fens, along a trade route between Craclaw and Blackguard Cove. From here the Templars have been accosting both our slave caravans and local plantations, freeing slaves they have deemed illegally indentured. While quaint in their idealism, the Templars have become a nuisance we can no longer afford. Dear Brother, when you see the monthly accounts you will most certainly agree. I had hoped to convince the small population of Reptus in the Bracken Fens to "handle" this problem, but as of yet none of my emissaries have returned from that awful place. Also, strangely, I have been unable to find enough mercenaries willing to hire on for a mission to Barthos. As such, I have dispatched a contingent of our forces to eliminate the problem. While the most expensive option, it is the only one left open to me. I fear, though, if the "Templar Problem" is not handled quickly here, it will cost our family much more in the long run. Game will be using my own rules for defensive fortifications and seige engines as an Overlords army tries to storm a Templar fortified manor house. All standard Warlord R.A.G.E. rules plus eratta will be used.
