Shacknews: Wargame: Airland Battle Group: Electric Boogaloo 2: The Wargamening

First off, this coming Saturday we will have an unlimited-points ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ festival!
We'll set the server up (thanks nyranger66!) to a map that fits however many players show up, set the starting points to 999999 and let it run. You can bring any deck you want, we'll randomize teams and all that other jazz but you'll have enough points to buy every unit you brought at any point during the game. This will start one hour before the regular start time (1PM EDT), all you have to do is show up. The goal is to make this a fairly long game so please be there five minutes early or send me a message so I know you're coming because if I haven't heard anything by 1 PM and we have even teams, we're starting.

The second event is for next week's Shackbattle (that's the 22nd). This event will require you to sign up ahead of time (again, please send me a message if you sign up and then discover that you can't show up). The event will be two preselected teams playing each other on a map of suitable size. The size of the teams and the map we play will depend on the number of people who sign up. The deadline for signups will be whenever I wake up on Monday the 17th, on that day two team captains will be picked and they will be allowed to pick their teams (coin flip for first pick, alternating after that). You will then have all week to build decks and talk strategy with your team (if you want practice games, that's on you to organize) and then we'll play one or two battles (again, depending on how many people sign up) before the regular Shackbattle starts. The maps, time limits and victory conditions will be announce on Monday after signups close so you'll know what to expect.

If you want to sign up for the second event, please SM me or reply to one of the Wargame threads I'll be making this week with the following:

Preferred faction (NATO/PACT):
In-game name (if different from your Shackname):

Please, only sign up if you're pretty sure you'll be able to make it. ♥♥♥♥ happens, if you sign up and have to back out later that's perfectly fine but in that case, send either me or your captain a SM so we can find a replacement.
