600 Silver Age – 21 May 2011

Time to try out the new 2011 rulebook.

Just a reminder: Silver Age means Modern Age Rules but with Golden Age figures. In other words, you can use any non-promo figure or object ever printed but no feats or BFCs.

Tentative Event Schedule

As you hopefully all know by now, I have surgery Wednesday morning so I won't be at Hillside next Saturday but I hope to be back the next week.

So here's my tentative event schedule for the next two months. It may change once we get a release date for the next set and depending on how quickly I'm back on my feet after surgery.

The new rules kick on Sunday the 15th so the first event after that will be simple so we can learn the new rules without being overwhelmed. I'll post details on the Calvary event in a couple of weeks.

21 May – 600 Silver Age (all figures/objects are legal but no feats/BFCs)
28 May – 300 Golden Age
4 June – Infinity Gauntlet event dial – 500 Golden Age
11 June – 300 Golden Age
18 June – Bring in the Calvary 100/200/300 Golden Age
25 June – 800 Golden Age

My current plan is to have one small point game and one larger point game each month. The other 2-3 events each month will be of various types; I'm always open to suggestions.

Death of Supergirl – 600 GA – 7 May

This event will use the Crisis on Infinite Earths: Supergirl event dial.

As usual, the event dial can be seen in HCRealms Units page.

600 points. Golden Age. Part of the event includes selecting a "Champion" who gets special abilities so make sure you've got a Kryptonian or other biggie to serve as your team's Champion.

Event Ideas for the Rest of the GSX Cycle

I'd like to go ahead and plan out the rest of the GSX tournament cycle but I want to give y'all a chance to help design it. So post any ideas you may have here and I'll get the schedule laid out by next week.

No Tournament on 23 April

One of the members of the WNC Pokémon League has graciously offered to take us to the pre-release next Saturday so I will not be at Hillside. You can, of course, feel free to play at Hillside but I will be unavailable for rules questions by phone since I will be in a tournament myself and will therefore have my phone turned off.

Planet Hulk Event Dial – 600 Golden Age – 30 April 2011

You can look up the even dial using HC Realms Units search: http://hcrealms.com/index.php?page=units

You'll need a 600 point Golden Age team (but no BFCs since there will be an event dial in play). You can also bring up to 400 points of "Reinforcements" which can cost no more than 40 points each.

Starting with the dial's tenth click, the following ability comes into effect:
------------------------------
REBELLION: At the beginning of each player's turn, that player must choose a character from his or her Reinforcements and put it into his or her starting area. Once the character enters the game, it is considered part of the player's force.
------------------------------

There's a lot going on in this event so I highly recommend you go check out the event dial so you'll be adequately prepared.
