It's taken me a bit to create this, but all of you should have a blast.
1. This will happen at around 5:30 on Saturday.
2. You will need a 35pl list of the most broken, cheesy, unfair things you can come up with.
3. This fight will happen on the special board that will be apparent when you get to the big game.
4. I'm not expecting this game to go more than 2 rounds or about 2 hours.
5. There will be a victor at the end of it.
The 35pl list that you will be able to create will have the following exceptions to it...... Nothing that has the keywords titanic, questor imperial(either faction) or any of the various transports, flyers, or tanks. All other things can be done within the 35pl restriction. Each player will have 3 command points available to play with. There will be no reserves, or teleporting, phasing or whatever else specially lets you get onto the boards any other way than through the portals.
Multiple special characters can be used, but only 1 per army, i.e. There can be multiple Guillimans out there, just not in 1 person's list. Dreadnoughts can be taken.
This is how it will go.
At 5:30 all players on table 4's, (or their last game was on a 4) will be able to set up on the special board within 24" of that respective portal color,(this will be obvious when you get there). Chaos will be on the stairs facing and Imperials will be on the door facing. Table 3's will deploy next, then 2's, then 1's. Games that are still being played on these tables can still go on while another table is deploying, i.e. If table 1 is still in round 2 while table 4,3,2 is deploying, gameplay will continue until it's that tables turn. This is important because if you want to get a later game in on Saturday before 5:30 we will put you on a smaller number table so you can get as much of it done before the main event.
The first turn will be done by the team that has the most victory points in the map campaign. So getting in fights during January and the big game itself are important. The points will be updated as games are finished during the weekend, halfway through games will be 1/2 pointed if there is a stoppage by the time this event happens.
The victory conditions are simple.... Imperials: kill Eth Mongul, Chaos: don't let that happen.
I am available on the forum, Facebook, PM, IM, phone call, or at the store for answers to questions.

Table set ups
The 5 sites will have 4 tables in them all marked 1-4. The 4th table will always have a portal on it.
This next part will require you to have the 8th ed. Rule book.
Table 1's: The scenario will be 'Big guns never tire' And the deployment will be frontline assault.
Table 2's: The scenario will be 'Secure and control' and the deployment will be vanguard strike.
Table 3's: The scenario will be 'Retrieval mission' and the deployment will be dawn of war.
Table 4's: The scenario is 'The relic' and the deployment will be search and destroy.
Tables 1-3 will each have 4 objectives attached to them. The table 4's will have the portals as the objectives.
The areas of engagement on the map will be: Gorgon Hive, Ice Fields, Atomic Weapons Cache, Vraburogh Urban Sprawl, Shrine to the Emperor Ascendent. We will be moving armies to the sites as they are set up both before the weekend (much easier for me) and during the weekend (a bit more work for Jesse and I)
Each player needs to get 2 games in throughout the weekend.
The Necromunda boards will not have an effect on the Big Game other than to let people interested in trying out that game system have a chance to actually do it without purchasing anything. I will have a couple of already painted up gangs ready to go and since those games are rather fast games, they can be played in-between 40k games.
Special scenario's will not be affected by the above rules. They are there for peeps that aren't going to do 'specials'.

THE BIG GAME
Ok........ Finally here it is.
Welcome to the big game explanation post. There are a lot of things to go over so.... Onward!
1. Please do not SKIM READ this post. I am going to give a play-by-play on the weekend and I will need everyone's attention.
2. There will be a series of tables set up as sites of action on the map. Five (5) areas to be precise. Each area will have 4 tables each to play on. Each will be marked with a number 1-4 and one table will have a portal on it out of those 4. Necromunda will also have 2 tables devoted to it, 1 underhive, and 1 above ground board each. Lastly, there will be a large board set up for the final battle at the end of Saturday to wrap up the weekend. There will be 5 portals on this board.
3. Each player will have a chance to pre-set games on a particular board during the month of January. If you don't set up a game with anyone, don't worry, the tables will all have their own scenarios on them.
4. We are going to have a projector with the map on it that will be updated as the weekend goes on; army movement will happen as well.
5. I'm planning on dinner again on Friday, but I think I'm going to forgo the bartender this year. I've been told that it was pretty wasted money from last year's organizers.
6. T-shirts are available for everyone attending. I decided to do red vs blue for these. I hope you can figure out who gets which on your own.
7. Prize support this year will be somewhat 'higher end' than previous years. I did this for all of the work everybody has done to help me this year. Storylines, showing up to Dead Snakecon, and all around putting up with Dale bullshit for the last year, will be paid off in spades. I have personally picked out some really good stuff for everyone and the 10 portals that will be around the room are part of that. I hope you can wait to take them till after we are all done with them.
8. There will be a single 'big game' that will happen this year as well. I will be giving the who's and what's to that in a later post, but I think it could be the wildest game to date. I am letting you know that I'm planning this for Saturday 5:30 ish so that you can make sure your availability will be open for it.
9. Everyone will have a mandatory 2 games to get done during the course of the weekend. I hope that more will happen, but 2 is the mandatory amount. 75-100pl each is the table set-up parameters.
9.5. Painted figs are required. No exceptions!
10. The dates are Feb 2-4 at the Crowne Plaza off of College ave. The link for it is on the forum under 'big game 2018'.
11. The cost will be $60 a person this year. $50 of this will go for the space and the other $10 will be going into the D-co fund for use in other events. There will be 'tip' jars out that you can donate to the D-co fund as well. This money goes to future D-co costs and extras for our events.
That's enough for this post cause I know all of you are sleeping by this point. Tomorrow will have the set ups for the 5 sites, and the actual rules for the 'big game' on Saturday night.
Thanks for reading.
