Re: Call to arms 2009

Sigil re-opens on Wednesday, 1st April for business. All boards and terrain will be back in store by then. Probably.

I would like to also include a loose following of the Privateer Press Call to Arms method. Basically every eight weeks we run the call to arms league. The full details for this can be found at the following link;

http://www.privateerpress.com/dispatch/2009/

Basically book a game with an opponent and agree that it is a league game. Arrive and randomly decide a map and an objective as from the following link (I hope The Sigil staff will be happy to help with that) and record your results at the store. Set the terrain and map as in the picture.
There are some changes to the rules. Basically it seems that the official version has been set up to help players with larger armies and this is unfair (well not to me as the retailer but it goes unnoticed that I fight for the rights of others). So the set up is a simple;

For playing a league game 1 pt.
Victory + 2 pts.
Winning via primary objective +2 pt.
Only Caster(s) Left in play + 1 pt.
Note having the only caster in play is never the primary objective except in the "Scattered Lines" and "One Shot, One Kill" scenerios!! In all other scenerios the other stated victor condition is primary.

When you record your results you need to note the following;
Players & Factions, Winner, Round of Primary Objective Completion, Round of Caster Kill. Victory Point Totals.
So for example;
Dalibor (Cygnar) vs Shunka (Khador)
Winner Dalibor
POC round 3
CK NA
VP 14-6
(Dalibor gets 5 league points, Shunka 1)

Shunka (Khador) vs Miroslav (Everblight)
Winner Shunka
POC NA
CK Round 6
VP 11-9
(Shunka gets 4 league points, Miroslav 1)

Miroslav (Everblight) vs Rick (Highborn Covenant)
Winner Miroslav
POC NA
CK NA
VP 12-10
(Miroslav gets 3 league points, Rick 1)

This will get entered into a database at Sigil and it will calculate seedings which can be posted periodically if people are interested.

I have the medals already here in Belgrade and will reorder the next kit if this proves successful. I know it has failed before so this is why I am going to start small!!
The categories are slightly altered-
Warlord: Most League Points (Victory Points countback used to determine a draw).
Strategist: The largest difference between total victory points for and against (Most efficient player).
Eliminator: Most Caster Kills (Victory Points countback used to break a draw).
Relentless: Most completed Games (wet & keen award).

Now here's the magic part if your name is on the list below you're all already in the league and you don't need to play any games to fulfill your obligation!! Obviously if you don't play any games you just won't win any prizes. The players that play more games stand the best chance of winning medals and it really is as simple as that.

Legitimate Entrants;
1. Painbringer
2. Ines
3. Shunka
4. Dawngreeter
5. Pedja
6. Shukaku
7. Resurrection
8. Damjan
9. Stef
10. Dalibor
11. Knight
12. Pendargon
13. Bathory
14. Djordje
15. Pavlik
16. Dzon Vejn
17. Bojan D.
18. Rick
19. Minduploader

This basically means that you can't score leagues points by dragging in homeless guys and pasting them one after another for a string of easy wins (I can't explain why I think of Nikica whilst I write this). Also you must play the same faction throughout. The faction you play you first game with is your primary faction (of course you must also have at least 500 points in it).

Low maintenance, low investment, low expectations. It can be our new community mantra!!

Just to clarify: I'm considered a bad sportsman or i look like homeless?

Now you come to mention it....
Nikica there is a third option - has a great sense of humour and is able to come back with a witty riposte when needed.

:D

Sounds like an interesting idea. Bring on april 1st!!

I'm gonna do this. I have absolutely no idea how but, gods damnit, I'll muster up a free afternoon somehow.

1) This isn't an April's Joke, right?

2) Why is Dzon Vejn on the list when (if?) he sold all of his Menoths? Unless he switched factions...

I still have some flameguard models (a bit of shameless marketing: which you guys could buy at 50% discount)

Plus I could use someone else's army

.

But I doubt it would happen, because I'm looking to reduce number of games I'm playing, so that I could focus more on those that I'm playing (however weird that sounds :D)...

This sounds great! See you all in april

Great idea, count on me!!!

POC NA
CK Round 3
VP 11-0

Ines LP 4

Did i do it correctly? I mean about League points because this is first time i am calculating them , so I want to be sure I did it correctly.

FGSerbia · Post by **FGSerbia** » Sun Apr 12, 2009 6:59 pm

Yes - though as we're trying to promote WM/H the idea is to let them win.

Resurrection · Post by **Resurrection** » Sun Apr 12, 2009 9:23 pm

Yeah, but she plays Legion.
Even those homeless guys would win with Legion.

FGSerbia · Post by **FGSerbia** » Mon Apr 13, 2009 9:10 am

Meooow.
Saucer of milk for the table of Vampire players at the back.

Ines may play the Legion but she'd never use a cheesy list like Saeryn, Angelius, Seraph, 2 Harriers and run them forward and pop her feat and then use double blight bringer to win. She's just not that kind of person.

Pendargon · Post by **Pendargon** » Mon Apr 13, 2009 9:40 am

Noooo, she is not like that.
She just uses Saeryn, angelus, seraph, carnivean, and raptors, which is, of course, far more friendly

Dawn · Post by **Dawn** » Mon Apr 13, 2009 9:02 pm

Hey!

In second game I was using Thagrosh and in first one I didn't feat in the end.

Sad mi nije jasno kako smo Dule i ja igrali On the move kad uopste nije medju scenarijima za ovu nedelju?
Jel se liga igra, kao, ispocetka pa krecemo sa pravilima od njihove prve nedelje ili je Marko zeznuo stvar?

Marko zeznuo stvar? To ne mogu ni da zamislim!

Rover · Post by **Rover** » Wed Apr 15, 2009 8:38 am

koliko ja shvatam ines je rekla da se igra od prve nedelje...

Resurrection · Post by **Resurrection** » Wed Apr 15, 2009 8:56 am

Ok.
U svakom slucaju, cini mi se da su ljudi zaboravljali na global effects (nalaze se odmah iznad mapa i scenarija).

Dawn · Post by **Dawn** » Thu Apr 16, 2009 8:21 am

Ova nedelja igrala se po pravilima prve nedelje koja je arhivirana.
Sto se tice global effect-a i Marko i ja smo ga svima citali, koji su hteli da cuju. A za one koji nisu culi a igrace u subotu neku ligasku bitku global effect je:

Fight or Flight

In the face of danger, some fight back out of fear. When a model/unit fails a command check that would normally cause it to flee, roll a d6. On a result of 1, 2, or 3, the model/unit flees as normal. On a result of 4, 5, or 6, the model/unit fights back instead of fleeing. Models that are fighting back immediately turn to face the nearest enemy model. A model that is fighting back activates during its controller’s Maintenance Phase and charges the nearest enemy model. If a model that is fighting back cannot charge, it advances toward the nearest enemy model and attempts to make a melee attack. Models/units continue to fight back each turn until they pass a command check at the end of their activation. Models in a unit may move out of formation while fighting back. Models without melee weapons will flee normally instead of fighting back.

Od ponedeljka pocinje druga nedelja lige.

Bilo bi mudro da postavljate tabele ili rezultate partija ne bi li ostali videli da se nesto zapravo desava i mozda se aktivirali.

Dawn · Post by **Dawn** » Wed Apr 22, 2009 3:36 pm

Pa i ideja jeste bila da svako stavlja na ovu temu rezultate meca koji je odigrao ili sam ja posgresno razumela....

Posle prve nedelje stanje na tabeli je:

Painbringer 1 14
Ines 10 34
Shunka 3 5
Dawngreeter 0 0
Pedja 0 0
Shukaku 4 15
Resurrection 5 8
Damjan 1 2
Stef 0 0
Dalibor 9 21
Knight 0 0
Pendargon 6 16
Bathory 1 1
Djordje 0 0
Pavlik 1 0
Bojan D. 4 9
Rick 5 22
Minduploader 0 0

Ovo su rezultati u koje nisu ukljuceni poeni koje ste dobili u ponedeljak.

Resurrection · Post by **Resurrection** » Tue May 12, 2009 12:26 pm

Ines, updatejtuj.

Ne mogu sad Nikice, ali znam jednu interesantnu vest. Ja pobedjujem tebe za jedan poen a ni Dule nije daleko.
