[40K/BFG] Online Gaming League! Season 4: 40K/BFG Linked

Halos Nach Tariff

One day I will get this 'turn-based' thing sorted out. Sorry for the delay.

I'm too busy to get in a 40K game currently so my Turn 3 orders are: continue mobilising bio-mass reserves in Aegas-8.

Next week I'll have less to do so I should be able to actually attack someone then.

ElderCat

End of turn 3, each of the raiding fleets pick up a point for holding a planet.

Now it's time for a new turn.

Alright! Now is the turn for BFG Battles! Initiative matters again this turn, let's get those moves in so we can start the battles!

leaf

Since I'm impatient and no one has said a word, when it gets to my turn, the Eldar shall move to Aestas6. We'll put true fear in those barely sapient apes.

Gabriel_Pitt

Since there's nothing anyone can do to me, I'll be garrisoning Aestas 2. If I'm still able to do anything after that, I'll be moving my fleet to Aestas 3. I'll let Skarsol keep Aestas 1.

For now.

PolloDiablo

And I'll move into sector 4, but won't attack the orks if that's an option. Don't want no more of that. I'll go find some easier raiding.

ElderCat

Well, if you aren't going to attack this turn, and don't want to position yourself to block something, you can just withdraw this turn, and deploy in any sector next turn.

PolloDiablo

You know, that's not a bad idea. I'll withdraw, to leap out of the shadows where I'm least expected.

ElderCat

ALRIGHT, we can figure out who the raiders are fighting 40k with later, Mazzyx, you brave enough to charge through the asteroids to come and get me?

Also, Law, Leaf is in your sector, but cant attack you yet, you can force a match this turn with him, or wait till he decides what to do.

And Gabe, you can move into the approach this turn.

LET'S ACTUALLY HAVE SOME BFG NOW!

TheLawinator

The forces of Man have found their position to be an advantageous one, let the enemy come to them.

skarsol

The sisters are going to raid on over to sector 7 having heard rumors of psychic abombinations there.

ElderCat

Skarsol and Leaf set up a 40k game.

PolloDiablo

In the interests of restarting this thread after the holiday, I'll post my move.

Spoiler:

If Halos moves this turn, I'll pop in in sector 8. If he stays put I'll pop in in sector 6.

ElderCat

Well actually we are still on the turn that you withdrew, we are waiting on mazzyx to state what he is doing, I hope he attacks me, because I wan to play Darnit.

Mazzyx

Didn't realize it was my turn. Sure, but I will come. Orks like fightin'

ElderCat

OOHHH YEAHHHHH IT'S ONNNN! When is a good time for you?

Mazzyx

Depends on the day. This weekend would be good since I don't have anything planned and the house to myself.

ElderCat

We shall meet in the field of battle at High Noon (Eastern) on Saturday. I stand ready to repel the green tide.

ElderCat

LET THE BATTLE COMMENCE!

ElderCat

Well the battle was mighty, and I was really scared by the ferocity of an ork torpedo barrage, and the sheer number of ramships, but after 2 turns we called it. I had to go and he had taken a huge beating on his escorts. I lost a strike cruiser that he focus fired down. And then I blew my reinforcement roll. So on my turn, I will make another appeal for a reinforcement.
+5 renown for me.

Skills gained:
Armageddon -Expert Gunners.
Strike cruiser 1-Adept Trimsmen.
Strike cruiser 2-Elite Command crew.
Gothic +1 Ld.

Player......Renown.....last turn moved
Skarsol...........9...........4
Gabriel Pitt:....7...........4
Eldercat.........6...........4
Halos.............3...........3
Pollo Diablo....2...........4
Leaf...............1...........4
Mazzyx..........1...........4
Law...............1...........3

Just waiting on Halos and Law's moves, and Skarsol and Leaf's 40k Games this turn.
Oh and mazzyx, where do you retreat to?

Lets see, my move options this turn would be to either stay where I am again or move to sectors 7 or 6 right?

If I move to a new sector will that automatically start a 40K game with someone as a Raiding Fleet? Or is there a 'travelling phase'?

Mazzyx

Back to my planet in sector 4.

Auto start a 40k game.

Halos Nach Tariff

In that case I shall send some spores into sector 7, which means I assault Leaf's planet, or can i not do that with Skarsol's fleet in orbit there?

Umm, so; If I can move to Aestas 7 and get a 40K game played then I'll do that, if not then I'll just stick around on my own planet till next turn.

ElderCat

Essentially you play the winner of their game. Which, by the way, Leaf and Skarsol, have you set up your game yet?

skarsol

Looking like tomorrow night.

ElderCat

Did you guys fight?

skarsol

No. I hung in the channel but didn't see him. His last PM said he was busy the rest of the week iirc. Havent spoken since due to forum shenanigans.

Gabriel_Pitt

Cursed shennanigans!

ElderCat

Yeah I have a lot of ideas on how to fix these issues next time. Make it a battle for a sector and not a system, systems have multiple ways in and out. Fleets can pass through systems without fighting, fights are only required for control to pass hands. A time limit for you to get your orders in, if not you do nothing, a time limit to get battles in, if not the player who didn't show up loses. And orders are first in first out, with only using initiative to settle conflicts.

OtakuD00D

Is it too late to join the league? I might be interested as Dark Eldar.

EDIT: Blah. None of the new stuff's been made yet. I'll pass.

Moridin889

If this is still open, I 'd like to be some DE raiders if there's a slot. I didn't realize we still had leagues going.

ElderCat

Alright, it has been 2 weeks since the last move, I know some of that was compounded by the forum reboot, but still this is just not working. I am willing to rework the rules and start another league, maybe even with the same renown, but this league just has too many problems.

Who is interested in playing in a new league?

Moridin889

This guy

Halos Nach Tariff

I'll definantly play in another league, apologies for causing problems with this one.

Gabriel_Pitt

I'm in.
