Shatnerball Roster II

[MagDog68]

JJ-

A quick question on Shatnerball game play. Will the Borg be assimilating players somehow? I was wondering how this may work. I read the write up of the game and it says we will be assimilating an "Alien Race" - somehow I assume that we will have a fourth army with no alliances in this game...any comment?

Also, I was wondering if there was a way to be anything other than a drone. I am sure their are 'special forces' characters in this game - how do you choose them?

Borg

The Borg will not "assimilate" others during the game in the true sense of the word. That would create a situation where the Borg would eventually consist of everyone and would not be a very fun game for most.

Assimilation is going on now in that the Borg is assimilating/recruiter others to join in their team.

There will be "special forces" as well as tanks and tank killer teams along with the drone/infantry. Missions will be assigned by Tom as the Borg commander.

Tanks will be rollin!!

The Freak tank is comming along fine with the refit. It seems that some of the tanks will be shooting nerf rockets as anti tanks rounds and some atomic ordinance stuff to. They will be putting in rules for tank mounted markers to hit other tanks. With that bit of info the whole world looks better now. I installed a new speed controll on the twin emags, They rock!! I will still keep the main gun in the turret. The nerf rockest really go out of that main gun.
So far there is 6 tanks comming to the event that have posted on warpig. Maybe more. We will also have the howitzer to help defend what ever main base we get.At 100 balls a shot it should be pretty easy to tag a tank in the open once you get range. Or we can use it to lob the grenades into other forts.
What do you think about a flag the has the basic yellow smiley face on it but 1/3 rd of the face is borg.Electric eye and metal covers?
You may have seen the name Jim bergles on other posts. Well jim and rusty are one in the same. Somehow my old password stopped working so I relisted. And after looking at the other boards the Borg are way ahead of the ball game. At least we arent arguing about how many floors AGD actually has in the shop. Well the ones above ground not counting the secret laboratory where the elves work.

Arrival time

I hope to roll in about 1200 hrs Friday to get checked in.And get my Armour and cannon safety inspected.Come SAturday it is unlimber, chrono and go.
The last thing is I need an opinion on the new color for the tank and cannon. I will be repainting Them for this event. Borg Black will be to hot. What ideas do the masses have? Olive drab is dull. How about blood red will black out lines. It will be sporting some borg queen cutouts on the side of it. small pin up size of course.

I like the half borg smiley face flag idea. As far as color goes, how about a titanium grey color with some black circuit board looking detail? Can't wait to see this thing as use it for cover.

Rough Flag Draft. Smiley Borg

here is a rough draft I was thinking of. mAybe somebody with some real talent could work it up a bit.

[MagDog68]

I Think it is great!

LOL...that is classic! Don't change it! The rudimentary style gives it some class - to much refinement will take something away.

Armour prelim pics

just a quick pic update of Borg Armour. I have alot of the break up pattern to stick in yet. once that is done and the cannon to match I will resend it. The new turret is on the tank and everything works. the twin emags are in the open spots on the front of the turret. the center cannon can shoot nerf rockets or about a 25 ball load. the rockets really go though. I should be able to launch 6 max per minute or 4 min of the rockets. the shotgun rounds take a little extra to load. The front and sides will feature the borg emblem in red.

Seems like the RedRoof is the official AO hang out for this?? Are we carpooling or what?? Has anyone heard about exibitor tents etc. I have never been to this field can it really handle the 3000 people I here are coming. How many of us have scenario experiance? I know a lot of shatner guys that are hard core waiting to mess with our heads.

Red Roof (Joliet)

I'm gonna stay at Red Roof, Joliet as well. How are we all gonna hook up once we get there? Does anybody have an extra seat for carpooling? I'll split the rental costs of course. Can't wait to meet fellow AO'ers.
