Aeronautica Imperialis (general thread)

Since this is a specialist game and what not, we need this thread!

So this is for general discussions, and lining up games, and maybe nachoes.

I got two barracudas and two tiger sharks. how bouts you?

Just a question. Are the models used here the same ones that are used in Epic? (i.e. Ork Fighta bommas, etc.)

Can you give us an example of a typical game? I.e. how are forces picked out, how are they setup, how long you estimate it would take to play, etc.

Well, from what I can gather, there are specific scenarios in the book. You roll to determine which you want to play, and it's set at a point level, and sometimes there are special rules involved. The points cost for each vehicle is in the book along with their stats. Setup depends on mission IIRC and the quote the book directly "A game involving 2 aircract may only take an hour to play, a larger game involving 12 will take several hours to complete"

It looks fun. The movement works with a roll for initiative, then you pick a manuver. Who ever wins moves one aircraft, and the the other player moves one, then it's back to the winner ETC. Then there is shooting. It looks pretty fun.

A game with 2 aircraft takes an hour? Holy snapping crap, that's a lot of maneuvering!

Oh man, if so, I've already got a small Tau force I can use. If I had rules and 'Nautica bases.
I've got a couple of Epic Tigersharks and three Barracudas. But oh man, it sounds way too
time-consuming for me.

So, how many players are there in Ottawa? I'd like to get a small Eldar force and get a few games in now and then.
