Just put out on the PAGE Center City<\/a> listserv:<\/p>\n

40k players,<\/address>\n
I’m happy to announce a special event we’ll be running this winter: A 750pt Combat Patrol tournament league<\/a>. Hopefully everybody can and will join in, I think this will be really fun. We’re going to be pushing this out to the players at Redcap’s as well as Internet forums, hoping to reach out and find even more players around Philly.<\/address>\n

Details are online<\/a>, but basic scheme is: Reg is $3, all going toward prizes for the winner. The tournament will run for 5 rounds. For the first 3 rounds, pairings and mission rules we be posted. Players will then have 2 weeks to meet up and play their matches, either on their own or at PAGE or Redcap’s. It’d be great to have everyone get together at Redcap’s to play on Saturday, Jan 16, but it’s optional.<\/address>\n

The final 2 rounds will be held at PAGE the last week in February, Sunday the 28th. If we get a bunch of non-PAGE people to sign up it could be a really big night of 40k, and we might make the final missions pretty dramatic and exciting to match!<\/address>\n

Pretty standard Combat Patrol rules apply, caveat a 750pt limit rather than 400pt. All those details are on the web<\/a>. Missions will be narrative oriented, following a storyline through the tournament. Most will have asymmetric scenarios—matches will be two games, with players alternating roles. Should take about 3 hours total.<\/address>\n

Let me know if there are questions, and start getting your strategery on! Jason and I have already started whipping up 750 pt lists so we can ensure we get all our preferred units painted! In addition, Redcap’s<\/a> just happened to have 750pt 40k gaming on their schedule for this Saturday (Dec 19th) at noon. That’d be a great chance to start trying out your list. I’ll be there, and it’d be great to see some other PAGE players there as well!<\/address>\n
Thx<\/address>\n

Hopefully the missions and rules may be of use to others outside the Philadelphia area, and it’d be great to meet any Philly area lurkers out there! Expect bat reps, narrative updates, and mission scenarios to show up on this blog as they develop.<\/p>\n
