Warmaster Barbeque prep day


We started with 6. Then got up to 8 and are down to 4 players now. Hurricanes barreling down on us.

         I will be playing the Samurai or Nippon list. The Revolution Rules Committee has put the V1.1 list out for testing. I have a painted army, all Castle Arts stuff left in the world, and the trail list is broken bullshit. I will try to prove how it can be abused.
My list;
Shogun
Daimyo
2 Shugenja
3 Ashigaru Yari
2 Ashigaru Yami
4 Ashigaru Teppo
5 Ronin
9 Samurai
Ninja
1985   Break point 5 (9 Samurai + 1 Ninja)


         Saturday looked wonderful, 84 and sunny. Now they are saying pounding thunderstorms in the afternoon. Which changed to maybe Storms in the evening. The deck is covered by a 24 x 20 gazebo. When the rain drives you are going to get wet. The roof is metal and leaks in places.
          The other issue is the terrain and tile type gaming tables are made with PVA. When water hits and sits the PVA will go liquid again. My minis and based with PVA also. I am not looking to rebuild/repair terrain or rebase an army.
          This event should be played indoors. I have asked the group if they care about indoors or outdoors. I have to decide to risk the weather and clear the furniture from the deck or not, wash the deck, etc.  Or set up indoors. Indoors is easy, next to no work. The pig roast is easy once the fire is started. Cooking in the rain is no sweat.

We will be indoors. We can alway go back under the gazebo. It would only be moving four tables!


The indoor problem, my light sucks over the in house table. One circle shity light, leaves half the table at nearly lit. Upgraded the light to two 4000lum 4 footers. Now the table has light and will tan you as you play.
