We had 11 gamers playing in the campaign and the action was intense! Thanks to everyone who turned out to play. It's still not too late to get in on the action, you can still start off with 1,250 points and not be a too big a disadvantage against players that have been in since the start! This week's scenario will be "HELTER SKELTER". Your army isn't sure what they're doing, but they'd better be doing it full steam ahead! The Mission Objectives for each table won't be determined until the beginning of turn 3! You can download the scenario off of the web site. (And the rules are posted there also if you need those too!) Last week there were 4 players that took control of territories outside their home sector. Four other players managed to fight to a draw and activate one of their home sector territories. For the updated map, week 1 summary and the current player standings, visit the web site. If you didn't pay your membership dues in July, you'll have to pay the $5 entry fee Thursday night in order to continue in the campaign. AP1...because chicks dig AP1! ============================================================ : : : : : : (2) Aug 5th Game Night Coverage : : : : : : Our eighth club meeting and game night of 2004 at the World of Battle was held this past week on Aug 5th and we had 11 in attendance. A little better turn out than last week, but we still hope to see more of you next Thursday! At the beginning of the meeting we reviewed the rules for the "Helter Skelter" scenario and then paired off based on the win/loss results from last week. Altogether we had 11 gamers playing on 5 tables (one of the games used the "odd player" rules from the AP1 Campaign rule set). If you missed the action this week, be sure to visit the World of Battle Thursday, August 12th at 6:00pm to answer the call to WAAAAAGH!!! ============================================================ : : : : : : (3) July "Mini of the Month" : : : : : : : : : July 29th marked the presentation of our July "Mini of the Month" awards. During our first MotM contest, We had five gamers participate and we had great voter turn out each week from Adeptus Memphis members, guests and GW staff in the World of Battle. Our July Mini of the Month Prizes go to... 1st Place = Ricardo Luna's Space Wolves...Ricardo won a very nice Chaos Keeper of Secrets box set donated by the gang at the Games Workshop World of Battle and a nice blue ribbon. 2nd Place = Kevin Avent's Tau...Kevin was awarded a red ribbon. 3rd Place = John Mill's Orks...John received a white ribbon. Our July contest was a close race, being decided by only ONE VOTE...so next time, get your minis in and get in on the action! Next month we're featuring ELITES.

You can easily RSVP by responding to any emails, you can RSVP on the Online Forums or you can RSVP using the form on the web site. If you're not RSVPing each week, you're missing out on any experience points that will go toward the club "ranks" system. I'm keeping track of the RSVPs and those that are consistently RSVPing each week are racking up points that will be retro-applied to the "rank" system once it is implemented. It's easy and quick, so DO IT! The MAWL online forums are available for you to RSVP about attending our weekly Game Night. You can post a reply to the forum to let everyone know that you'll be attending and supporting the club. If you don't use the forums, please RSVP by either responding to an email or by submitting the RSVP using the form on the web site. ============================================================ : : : : : : (7) Houston Space Center Tourney : : : : : : : I got word from Sean Freyholtz at the World of Battle that GW is holding a huge 2-day tournament in Houston in January of 2005! I'll get more details out to you as soon as they firm up, but it looks like they'll be asking for 5 man teams to participate in a mega-map based tournament. We'll need 4 players for 40K and 1 BFG player to make up the five man team. The tentative cost is $90 to enter and $50 for lodging at the NASA facility. We can car pool and take a van or SUV to help split the cost of fuel. If you're interested, let me know and we get a group or two together to begin the planning for this event! ============================================================ : : : : : : (8) How to JOIN Adeptus Memphis : : : : : : : : Simple!
