Right. "In Her Majesty's Name" vs "War of the World". I've got 3x 250 points for each side, but it might be better not to get carried away while we're learning the rules... Anyone got preferences as to whether they want tentacles or machine guns?
I'll bring Eclipse as well (now with a PLAYING MAT!).

I've also painted up 5x 15 points of different forces for trying out "Horizon Wars" but I haven't got much 1/300 terrain to work with yet.

Wouldn't mind Eclipse actually if we start fairly promptly.

Eclipse.
The mat looks really good. Nice find Katie.
With the bigger core & greater distance between players I feel the nine turn limit is not enough. There were still unclaimed systems and the different races had hardly come into contact let alone conflict over resourses. The big aliens are definitely more of a challenge which is good but slows down expansion if pulling a couple early blocks you in.
Maybe a thought for a Sunday session to go for 10+ turns or even go for a variable game length with an cumulative die roll each turn from the start of the ninth to see if its the last.

It's interesting -- it has been very different in other games; people went storming into the core, big battles, scrapping over systems. Also, I forgot to count some points. I bought a mutation giving me +1VP per shield... for another 4VP. Oh yes -- need to print this; www.fysh.org/~katie/wargames/downloads/eclipse/EclipseTechRef.pdf

Sounds like you'd need to refer that to the Stewards after the race.
