For October 2009, we'll be getting together at Games Plus! in Mt. Prospect, IL on the 31st at 6 p.m.

Format is: Night of the Living Dead
36 health. Your starting forces follow the standard army construction rules, except you cannot use Undead units. You must also bring an extra pool of Undead units (the Conversion Pool). For each unit in your starting forces, you must have an Undead unit in the Conversion Pool of the same health size as noted in this table:

Unit in Army	Corresponding Undead unit in Conversion Pool
Heavy	Heavy
Light Light Missile Shieldbearer	Light
Missile Heavy Missile	Light Magic
Cavalry	Cavalry
Magic	Heavy Magic
Dragonlord Dragonmaster Fireshadow Unseeli Faerie	Dracolich
Dragonslayer Dragonhunter any other monster	Carrion Crawler Fenhound Minor Death Skeletal Steed
Kings' Die	none

For example, if your army contains a Footman (common heavy unit), your Conversion Pool must contain a Zombie (also a common heavy unit).

At the start of the game, the Undead units in the Conversion Pool are set off to the side (by the DUA and BUA, but seperate from them). When units are killed or buied, they go to the DUA or BUA as normal. When a non-Undead unit in the DUA is revived (either by spells or SAIs), the unit is swapped with an Undead unit (of the same size and class as noted in the table above) from the Conversion Pool on its way to the army that revived it. No swapping is done if the unit is revived by promotion or recruitment.

Example: Your army casts Spark of Life to revive a Lizard Rider in your DUA. The Lizard Rider goes to the Conversion Pool and the army gets a Spectre instead.

Example: Your army can promote a unit due to controlling a City 8th face. At the start of your turn, you decide to promote a Knight to an Eagle Knight. The Knight goes to your DUA and the Eagle Knight goes to your army.

Example: Your army rolls for saves and gets a Wild Growth SAI. Since Wild Growth promotes units, you do not swap the revived units with Undead units in the Conversion Pool.

I've got three of each 8th face (total: 12 wasteland, 12 feyland). I'm going to assume that this will be enough for the meeting.

Minor terrains will be more difficult since I only have a few extra, unlike the major terrains which I have plenty of extras.

If you have stickers for these, I can bring plenty of dice for everyone.

So, any thoughts about a date for the January meeting? As far as I know, any day works for me.

[chuckpint]

16th and 23rd are out. The 2nd, 9th, or 30th are fine.

For January 2010, we'll be getting together at Games Plus! in Mt. Prospect, IL on the 9th at 6 p.m.

Format is: Water World
36 Health. No more than half your army can be mages.

• Flying Units can travel into and out of any terrain.
  
• Giants can travel to and from any flooded terrain except highlands.
  
• Units with the Boat Maneuver icon can travel to and from any flooded terrain except highlands.
  
• Swampstalkers with a maneuver icon can travel to and from any flooded terrain except highlands.
  
• Units with the Fire feet can travel into and out of Highlands.
  
• Any unit that carries a Flying carpet may travel into or out of any terrain. Units will still need to go thru the reserves to get to the other terrains, I'm just stating that they are not restricted to remaing at a terrain.
  
• Other methods of travel (these all work normally): Terrain Flight, Wayfare, Firewalking, Path, Teleport, Airy Acquisition, Dragon Riding, Vanish.
  
• You may Feralize, Mutate, or Resurrect to any terrain. Stepped Damage, Promote works normally.
  
• Army Placement Conflict: If any unit cannot go to a terrain for any reason, then they start in your reserves.

So let me get this straight:

First of all, there are "wet" terrains: Coastland, Flatland, and Swampland. Then there are Highlands. The following races can be at:

Coral Elves: wet terrains (except for the Cavalry units with hoof), Eagle Knight, Gryphon, and Sprite Swarm any terrains.
Dwarves: except for monsters with fly, cannot go to any terrain.
Goblins: except for monsters with fly, cannot go to any terrain.
Lava Elves: except for monsters with fly, cannot go to any terrain.
Amazons: except for monsters with fly, cannot go to any terrain.
Firewalkers: highlands, Daybringer and some monsters with fly any terrain.
Undead: except for monsters with fly, cannot go to any terrain.
Feral: except for monsters with fly, cannot go to any terrain.
Swamp Stalkers: wet terrains.
Frostwings: except for Cavalry units and some of the monsters without fly, all terrains.
Scalders: highlands, except for Dragonne Knight and some monsters with fly: all terains.
Treefolk: Cannot go to any terrain.
Eldarim: some commons with Coral Elf boat: wet terrains. All the rest cannot go to any terrain, except for the few with fly.

So unless I'm missing something, only Frostwings are useful in this format. All other races have no way to exist at all terrains.

Thanks very much. I certainly will read it.

btw ... isn't it possible to have a session review of some of the games played at your tournaments? It would be very interesting as there are no tournaments in Belgium. The games we play are always with some friends (but occasionally) and especially against my wife (frequently)! Though I must confess we quit for some years, and now we play again!

Thank you very much, Dear Sir!

Everything will help to recapture the "essentials" of the game, the more because it has been quite a while since we played!
