UPDATE!!!

 Here ye!  Pay heed to the words of the great Emperor Karl Franz!  Ok, not really but here it goes...

I know it has been a while since we updated.  But, with the tragic passing of Caleb’s eldest daughter Abby, we had postponed the campaign.  Our sincere sympathies and thoughts continue to go out to Caleb and his family.
Now that Caleb is ready to get rolling again, we are going to hold a meeting to discuss the campaign, rules, house rules, eat some pizza, and talk about upcoming events.  Tenatively this will be the evening of Friday, December 16, 2011.  (Please note if there are any conflicts for anyone, I realize this is a busy time of year.)

We plan on actually commencing the campaign (how is that for alliteration?!) sometime in January.  
Please voice your opinion on game nights by leaving a comment below, so the campaign team can decide frequency and schedule.
Option 1 – We meet once a month, with alternating hobby and gaming nights.  (For example, January hobby night, February game night…etc..)
Option 2 – We meet twice a month, once for game night, once for hobby night.
Option 3 – We meet once a month to game, no hobby nights.
Option 4 – Combine game and hobby nights into one night, and divde in to two teams with Team A playing while Team B hobbies, and then switch once Team A finishes playing. 

Option 5 – Combine game and hobby nights and allow for decide among ourselves who plays and who hobbies. 

Thoughts?  Suggestions?
Now, as far as the ship building goes, how is everyone coming on their boats?  I still haven’t started mine, I wanted to get a good sizeable force painted for my Empire army.  (No excuses! – ed.)

We will be utilizing the ships in the fourth scenario of the campaign, so we have plenty of time.
Until then,  I will be working on finishing my spearmen.
Cheers!

Contest to Kick things off!

Can't resist the LOLcats...sorry.

So, what better way to kick things off than with a contest eh?

Read on, good things in store!


Though I want to keep some things for the campaign a secret, I will share with everyone that we will indeed be using ships in three sizes.  Small, Medium, or Large.  (Or if you enjoy McDonalds...Medium, Large, and Supersized) 


A good example of small, medium and Large ships...


If your army is playing on the Imperial side (Empire, High Elves, Wood Elves, Bretonnians, Dwarfs) then you will need to build your choice of the following.

2 large ships, or 3 Medium and 1 Large, or 2 Small, 1 Medium, and 1 Large.

If you are playing the Invading Forces "Evil"  Misunderstood, then you will need to build your choice of the following.

5 Small ships, 3 Small and 1 Medium ship, or 2 Medium ships.

Prizes will be campaign oriented, or something else "special".  Prizes will be awarded for the following catergories.  Ships must be fully built and painted in order to qualify.

Catergory 1 - Best Ship overall

Catergory 2 - Best themed ship

Catergory 3 - Best use of material

Fear not if you don't have the time/talent.  We are going to be scheduling a hobby night about once a month or so.  You are allowed to seek feedback, and training, but must do the work yourself.  (So store bought ships will be disqualified.)

So get to your ship yards, and get busy!
