Where exactly is Santa Maria? |
It is about half way between us. Just south of San Luis Obispo. Nice city.

Based on my experience running a variety of demo and participation games I would offer the following advice.
If it is a demo/participation game, restrict each participant to a single formation and give them a card with all the relevant information on it.
Avoid complex units (or simplify them).
I would also avoid air units and artillery.

Hi Everyone,
We decided to go with 1,000 point sides so that if alll eight players show up, there will be two 4,000 point sides.
CONQUEST planning:
- Chern and I decided to have 1,000 point sides...
- Prepared 8 plus various 1,000 point army lists for CONQUEST (SM, Eldar, Nid, IG, etc.)...
CONQUEST terrain planning:
- Discussed Agriworld terrain set (I'm using it for CONQUEST)...
- Discussed Mars Forgeworld terrain set...
Fun:
- Met Chern at gaming shop and playes Settler of Cataan with Cities and Knights expansion - cleaned his clock...
- Watched one of those WFB Dwarf axe-thrower things go in a WFB game... very cool... like a big lawn-mower of troops...
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Hi Everyone,
The CONQUEST game set in Golden Gate Park was a hug success. I planned for a maximum of eight players and got nine and almost had twelve! (A few guys AND **GIRLS** decided to team up, become spectators or move on... )
I had two Nid sides, three SM sides, three Eldar sides and an IG side. Everyone was supportive of each other, cheering and having a great time! I will post the mission briefing later.
The players did discover the lost artifact and it passed back and forth between Nid and SM hands. The Eldar might have recovered the artifact had we played longer.
We played roughly three turns that took about an hour each. We ended early and I learned a lot how to run a good E-A game at a convention. I also learned that I don't know the E-A rules all that well despite a TON of playtesting and played games! Thanks to Chern for being my back-up!
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Short blurb:
Imperial Astropaths have discovered a mysterious warp anomaly in San Francisco?s Golden Gate Park and believe that an ancient artifact of great power is located in the park. Alien forces are already in the park and are searching for the artifact. Imperial forces have been dispatched to stop the aliens.
Mission briefing:
A rogue Inquisitor named Peter ?The Unknown Primarch? Ramos has defied the Emperor and escaped the Eclesiarchy Palace with an artifact of great power code named ?The Loknar.? Imperial agents pursued him inflicting grievous wound upon him as far as Golden Gate Park in New San Francisco on Terra. Some kind of great warp anomaly is now occurring within the Park and Imperial Astropaths and Psykers of great power can?t seem to penetrate some sort of Astral white noise surrounding the park. It is known that the traitor, Ramos, understands the ways of the Eldar Warp Gates and it is believed that he is trying to contact those Alien scum to transfer the artifact into their nefarious hands.
Expected Intelligence:
Traces of Tyranid psychic residue have now tainted the area around the park. Imperial Xenopaths believe that the Hive Mind greatly desires the ?Loknar? and that the artifact would greatly add to her power.
Incredibly well-hidden Eldar warp gates have also been detected although Imperial forces haven?t been able to pinpoint their exact locations yet. Some imperial Eldar Xeno specialists believe that Eldar Farseers desire to hide the ?Loknar? away from Imperial forces.
The Xeno scum known as the Necrons are also believed to covet the artifact and Adeptus Mechanicus agents are desperately searching for them.
Several Imperial Guard Planetary Defence Force (PDF) units are believed to have sold out to the warp powers and may attack Imperial forces. Grey Knights have been summoned to deal with them.
Worst of all, peace protesters, long monitored by the Imperial Police are believed to be camping out in the park in illegal communes. Small shanty villages have been erected and ?free love? is believed to be practiced in the park. The most- wanted protester leaders are ?Slick Willy? and ?Susie Saranwrapdon.?

I'll see about photos for the nest game.
It looks like Chuck will be hosting a game in my neck of the woods on October 3rd, 2004.
