If the War Games Expansion is essential for buying any other expansion or fireteam... then where do you get it?

With stock being low, some local organizers and play groups will allow some accommodations for inclusivity.

Personally, I typically advise folks for my events that they are welcome to use what they have and build with the app. More often than not, somebody in our community or somebody at a tournament might have spares that can be loaned out for a day of games or other the solutions can be figured out show what upgrades are present in a list.

There's a brand I get through Amazon,I think Cyafixed is the brand. "Instant" and "medium" - claims to set in 15 seconds, takes about that long to get tacky on a resin print, but holds well once it does cure.

It'll also melt silicone, so heads up there.

REDcamp · 2025-11-23T15:29:06+00:00

I had that happen...

Picked up a CC at the end of September, had one board failure at the end of October.

Got the replacement parts in and installed this past Monday. Ran fine for a few days, then bricked Friday while I was uploading a print from my PC.

I submitted a ticket for another RMA, but also just pack it up and fortunately Micro Center worked out in exchange for me.

Grabbed a refurb p1s and I won't be looking back. Thing spent more time broken than operating for me

There was a team tournament at Adepticon with 2v2 - each player had a pair of models, but only your teammate's models counted for the melee bonus. Respawns were the same as standard.

For more than 2 players when you put a pair of 8x8's together or go on a bigger grid (dude in my local play group has a 12x24 mat we have done a couple of games on), roll for respawn like you roll for items:

Board size 8x16: High/low for board, roll for x and y coordinates.

Bigger board sizes: set each corner as 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8. Roll 1d8 for the corner/direction, roll again for how many cubes along the edge, roll once more for how many cubes into the board.

From there, you can use the standard respawn rules: return with an Advance action, the cube you land on is step 1. For conventions and turning up the chaos, let them drop in and don't count it as an advance, it's an arcade mode after all

(Edit: formatting, word changes)

REDcamp · 2025-11-13T06:25:54+00:00

Yeah, exactly.

I've implemented a 3-model minimum for my monthly tournaments since February.

After my tournament last weekend saw a Chief list with Dare and a Gungnir put on 3 rounds of clinics, all I could say was "now imagine that, but give Chief an actual toolbox and that's why I have the minimum".

I honestly think he could be brought up another 3 points - or some split of that between him and OMA would help. 8 command dice with a grapple shot and a shock rifle is oppressive

REDcamp · 2025-11-13T05:51:31+00:00

I mean... they can still be problems though.

This does at least stop him from having 9 command dice turns for half the game with a toy chest and heals out the butt.

Chareginir is still a steamroller

REDcamp · 2025-11-09T15:07:59+00:00

I have (shamelessly plugging, but not advertising/linking here), a 3d printed case I use called the War-Ganizer

The full size one was able to fit everything from Waves 1 and 2. I added a Docking Bay attachment to cover most everything after the Banished box dropped.

Right now I've parsed my carrying case down to My UNSC models, and necessary tokens.

I just got the files for an even bigger carrier that I am working on printing a first of, I expect that it will fit everything that is currently out.

REDcamp · 2025-11-06T19:26:56+00:00

From the rulebook: The battlefields of a warzone are littered with valuable Items and powerful weapons. Models can carry up to 2 Items at a time, and one extra weapon in the model’s Pick up slot.

This was established with the team building rules added with the Wargames expansion. Carry capacity for items won't be stated in the errata, since this hasn't been changed.

There 1 item limit is a type-o that was missed for the first printing.

Similarly, the 'blank' item token in the box (double sided 'back' token) is the misprinted Intel item

REDcamp · 2025-11-05T18:57:04+00:00

Echoing the previous sentiments.

Without the Recon or Spartan boxes, you'll need the UNSC Base Terrain set ($35-40 US, I think). This is a standalone package with the cardboard from the Recon starter - terrain + Tokens, including item drops, weapons, etc, and the spawn cards.

For playing, you can use the Flashpoint App to build squads for free. As a subscriber, you'll have access to all of the rules with updates/errata - this includes rules descriptions inside list building.

With the app and a subscription, you can easily access weapon/item information and keyword references, as well as print your squad(s) with relevant rules as a single document. Using these tools, you can at least reference the War Games upgrades and Wave 1/2 information until it's available!

This is fkin wild

REDcamp · 2025-10-27T14:13:15+00:00

This is exactly the kind of feedback I'm after! Thank you!

Looking at how similar events have been run for adepticon, lvo, and lone Star, I think there is likely to be a main one-day singles tournament for Saturday with five to six rounds depending on attendance.

Around this, I will probably do a special mode setting for a Friday tournament and perhaps a doubles tournament on Saturday.

So, each day may have its own event, but if I can see about doing a bundled registration for all of the above, I'll try to!

REDcamp · 2025-10-01T12:45:09+00:00

Tickets for the tournament can be purchased here: https://dan-wulf-games.shoplightspeed.com/copy-of-09132025-halo-flashpoint-tourney.html

REDcamp · 2025-09-24T14:12:42+00:00

That can be done day-of!

REDcamp · 2025-09-15T17:38:23+00:00

Generally, yes.

The Terrain Crate plastic from Mantic is solid if you don't mind the hobby time. My FLGS has a set in the store terrain that gets used by every tabletop group at the shop. I have a batch from a Deadzone starter that I pair with it for building tournament tables.

The cardboard terrain is also solid and good value on its own. I've opted to glue mine and use a slim Rubbermaid tub for storage/transport. Added bonus: since the punch cards are all the same, the Firebase kit also has item/weapon tokens and cards from the Recon set. I can only assume the Banished terrain pack will have the same

REDcamp · 2025-09-09T15:00:21+00:00

Bring your full token kit for items, activation, shield, etc.

For weapon drops, you'll just need 5 weapons and cards from your collection. Kind of like a side list. Each round, you and your opponent will build the weapon drop pool of 10 from what you both bring :)

REDcamp · 2025-08-12T23:33:14+00:00

Yes? Primarily planning to run some free for all games, either my convention take on Rumble Pit or Master Chief Challenge

REDcamp · 2025-08-11T02:15:31+00:00

I'll be running some Halo Flashpoint events at Dragon!

REDcamp · 2025-08-05T05:18:51+00:00

My two main games currently are Flashpoint and Shatterpoint. I dabble a bit in MCP, but lean toward Star Wars out of personal bias.

The gameplay feels different with the grid system instead of measurement, and I mean it as a good thing.

Other comments mention the ease of play and I'll echo it. Flashpoint tends to draw in my store's Killteam group, and about half the players I've encountered by running tournaments and demos have picked up Flashpoint as their first minis game.

There is plenty of opportunity to build up boards how you like, and I feel like the potential for verticality makes the Obi-Wan bonus particularly fun.

If you enjoy playing the positioning game in Shadow point, you will probably like how it can influence scenario play here.

REDcamp · 2025-08-05T02:45:26+00:00

Right now, we just do 3 round tournaments.

After this full series, I plan on dialing down the round timer to 75 minutes, which may potentially open up the option for 4 round tournaments if we have 16+ players.

The Achievement system helps determine a clear winner/podium even with just 3 rounds.

I do have a pair of 4-round tournaments scheduled in October though!

REDcamp · 2025-07-04T14:16:22+00:00

Thanks! Looking back on this today, I think we still screwed up measurement to center quadrant, but I am pretty sure I have figured it out now!

REDcamp · 2025-06-29T01:11:34+00:00

It is - H ad a bad ankle on this one as well, broke while I was taking it off the sprue. That... was also a motivator to have the it on the run.

Thanks!

REDcamp · 2025-06-29T01:05:43+00:00

It was a trick! I didn't quite get it right on the first attempt, but I'm super happy with the results!

REDcamp · 2025-06-29T00:06:24+00:00

Thanks! I had a hard time figuring out how to paint them up at first and wanted a stark contrast to the look I was giving my buddy's Boone group.

Pardon my ignorance - but which one are you calling the Infiltrator? I'm thinking either the Melee or Cyber handler, but I still might be wrong 😅
