Open development of lists for NetEA play - therefore using NetEA rules

Nothing to do with country or tournaments. The idea of these lists is that anybody can meet another epic player and play against each other using balanced lists and rules. These lists are created in the framework of 3-5k points and the Gt scenario so that all lists are developed, tested and balanced from the some base. Using CAPACAP renders any testing, particularily of aircraft, suspect as would using other home rules or variations from that base framework like no marching+claiming, 10k games or tallest player winning strategy roll.

erm, hello Steve, did you read the bit about the real issue with the Lightning fighter formation? Rather than trying and failing to convince you that there are people out there unlike yourself that use a slight and accepted variation of an existing rule (rather than the intentionally antagonistic and facetious examples you posited), let's focus on the bit that actually matters to the development of this list.

CAPACAP isn't a slight variation. It appears to be, and personally I like the rule very much, but it has deep implications for aircraft balance.

I understood we were waiting for Honda to address the issue. I'd be in favour of smaller fighter formations with the ability to stat one on CAP on turn 1 replacing an OW garrison - as I've stated previously.
CAPACAP isn't widely accepted or used and is far more than a slight change especially when we are discussing AA. Only one of those examples was facetious - both no marching and large points values would skew results nearly as much as CAPACAP.

fair enough

As much as I'd like to disagree, I am -over time- beginning to come to the same conclusion. Everyone I play with does CAPACAP but I think I am going to disclude it from my next tourney. Take the Elysians out of the discussion for the moment and the analysis of how large A/C formations suffer at the hands of smaller A/C formations with CAPACAP is a pretty convincing one and something I can retrospectively apply to many games.

But as I said, Honda has already agreed to break up the interceptors and is on the fence for the the SR3, so I think we're moving in the right direction.

Mosc, are you butchering the English language again?

It'll be interesting to disallow CAPACAP or even to exclude it from the rules used at the upcoming games day, especially as I'm someone who'd benefit from that exclusion (being an Eldar player). Gives me another excuse to kick Dave's 20 strong Thunderbolt armada in the nuts too.

Jokes on you, I've been taking 4 Hunters in my ground pounding army lately...

you bitch. I knew those Space Marine points changes were a bad idea

Mosc - will you be bringing your Elysians the weekend after next? I'll be happy to avoid Dave and play them if you're interested.

Well, I certainly won't be playing him - I came ready for the 8th AF on wednesday and got downtown Hanoi-esque IAD. My heltalons were so afraid of the hunters that they only activated once in 4 turns.

Mosc, I'd be willing to test SR4 Elysians instead of fighting Dave again - you heard me; SR4 - let the bidding war begin

"Opponents will bid Strategy Rating to choose armies. The one who bids the lowest SR gets to play the Elysians."

Merriam-Webster has it. It's an overt act of exclusion. Albeit a new word (up there with "proactive" and "fax" and "suck me") it is acceptable by forum standards where we use words like capacap and dwwfy.

Let's use it in a sentence... "Mattthemuppet was discluded from playing Epic at the tournament because of his general snarky attitude and overuse of the word 'pram'."
---
While I appreciate you guys potentially bidding yourselves down to SR(-2) I think it might be too soon to write off the Elysians. The changes coming down the pipeline IMO will have a reasonable effect.

calling Merriam-Webster a dictionary is an insult to self-respecting dictionaries the world over. Besides, any "word" that has a Facebook group devoted to its acceptance isn't a word



don't even get me started on shopping trolley vs. shopping cart

Okay, let's get some things straight, Matt.
They are antennas, not aerials.
They are cookies, not biscuits.
You turn on your windshield wipers, not windscreen wipers.
It's not real tea unless it comes with ice in it.
And stop putting the letter 'U' where it doesn't belong (ex. labour, armour, Space Mariune, Warhammeur 40uK, United Kingdom, et ceterua).
