Well, we're here... at least the F&E guys are. nearly 20 of us registered yesterday (Tuesday).
4 separate games set-up adn in progress:
Early Beginnings - These guys made it through 5 turns last night (but they are quick turns)
Fifth Power - We finished turn 1-C (My Lyrans are sucking big time...)
General War - These guys finished turn 1-C as well and their Lyrans remind me of mine!
Errant Wind - they haven't finished the initial set-up, but will get started early this morning. Somehow though, I just really don't want to be involved in any game called "Errant Wind" and involving those low-down, dirty-rotten, methane-breathing, trashcan-looking Hydrans! _________________ Commander, Battlegroup Murfreesboro

Wow, someone besides me actually used the face !!!
And Scoutdad, I'm still expecting those packs from you . Rising Rivals set please. (I'm just joking, but I thought I'd bring it up)
Have a good time beating down on the Low Down Dirty Rotten Trashcan Looking Methane Breathing Hydrans! Let me suggest peanut butter as a topping if you capture an enemy ship . |

Update on the game I'm in:
Things went from bad to worse...
I took 71 ships into a Starbase battle and brought out 22 ships... all but 7 crippled. Nothing but 1's and 2's on my rolls.
Fortunately, when the butcher's bill was totaled; the Kzinti got the worst end of it:
2 dead carriers, 7 dead EFF, 3 dead BC, two dead FKE, 8 dead auxes, and misc dead CL, DD, FF... _________________ Commander, Battlegroup Murfreesboro

I'm not able to be there until Friday. Are you guys in the Miniatures Hall? I'd love to come by and check things out! |

Scoutdad, I think your dice are confused. They must think you're playing SFB, where 1's and 2's are GOOD. They just need a bit of a talking to to straighten out. _________________ "Captain" Terry O'Carroll, fourteen papers published including six best of issue

No!!!
I spent two turns rebuilding losses, went back in with 80+ ships nd managed to take it out... but it cost me another 50 crippled / dead ships.
This mornign, I went to the exhibitors hall and bought new dice. All day long, I've had less than 10 rolls below a 4! I should have just bought new stuff Wednesday!
If anyone else from the forum is at Origins, I'm in room D-243 almost all day long.
Stop in and say hello. _________________ Commander, Battlegroup Murfreesboro

I play Robo Rally on a place called Game Table Online --
Spend the down time watching the Axis & Allies players whine and whine about losing over dice rolls --- Apparently to them random numbers don't include those they don't like lol --- |

I *know* my dice hate me. Usually if I've been a jerk earlier that day. I'm a firm believer in "karma" and it's just the universe's way of letting me know to "shape up". _________________

That sounds like me, but with video games instead.
My dice hate me in any game other than FC. There they are my best friends. |

I just went to the Chessex booth, bought a new set of dice in Lyran colors...
Went to the SJG booth, bought a ChibiThulhu (for my daughter )...
Set Chibi on the table and put the dice in his arms, only took them out to roll...
That day, I rolled two 1s and 1 two, everything else was a 4 or higher!
