For those of you who didn't listen to the SHNN show last night, here's a quick update. Matt is still trying to find our venue, but it will be nailed down soon. The events we'll be having are pretty much set in stone, but I'll just let everyone get a glimpse of this one.

Epic Skirmish
Many people have wanted to use the Epic characters in a different format than just the Epic Duos at Gencon, so at MGM we will having the Epic Skirmish Battles! The squads for this event will be constructed as follows.
-- Your squad can be up to 500 points, having one selected Epic character, and with a maximum of 16 characters after Reinforcements, (although any pieces obtained through Reserves may increase this number), and up to 3 useable Commander Effects (you may have more than three characters with Commander Effects, but only three of them may be used, and they must be declared before the tournament begins). For this format, Mas Amedda and Bastila Shan, Jedi Master will count as characters with Commander Effects.
-- You may not use any characters' abilities which modify the amount of characters you activate in a phase, but those characters may be in your squad.
-- Disintegration will not be allowed.
-- The map list for this event will be Open! However, two maps are not allowed: Korriban (WOTC version) and the Endor Shield Generator.
-- Now, it was mentioned that your squad will have an Epic character in it. However, the event will be as random as Epic Duos was at GenCon, and your Epic character, and therefore faction for the event, will be randomly selected! For anyone wanting to participate, you will need to contact either Matt Spry (spryguy1981) or myself through a PM here on Gamers or Facebook. One of the two of us will randomly select your Epic character (Terentatek counts as Sith, Phantom Menace may be any of his factions), so we will have a huge variety of squads on the field. You may ask for us to select your Epic character at any time. And don't worry, if you don't sign up ahead of time, but still attend, bring some possible factions, and we'll get your Epic for you on Saturday.
- Rounds for this event will be an hour and a half.
So, do you have what it takes to be an Epic Skirmish Champion? Prove it!
Now, please understand there could be some last minute changes to that game style, but I think it should pretty much stay the same. I encourage you to go look at the fun one I made on Bloomilk when I randomly rolled my die, got Luke, and had a blast selecting the characters I would love to see alongside of him.
So, I emptied out a lot of my Inbox, so if you're ready to know your Epic, shoot those PM's (or Facebook messages, or texts, etc.). I can't wait to see you all in a few months!
