I realize that most people who come here are going to be people I've directed here, but if you happen to stumble upon this blog while searching for information on, say, tcgs, allow me to direct you to the game's official website at www.dogfighttcg.blogspot.com . There you will find information on the game, what's out now, what's being released soon, pland for the future, and most importantly, how to purchase the game. Also, feel free to check out Michael Fox's (the creator) official Dogfight blog at www.dogfightccg.blogspot.com !

F.A.S. Brutus Magnus Decklist

This is my full complement deck for the F.A.S. Brutus Magnus, built entirely using the Mobility Mini-Set and the U.S.P.V. Inferno and U.S.S. Relentless core decks.

Ship:
F.A.S. BRUTUS MAGNUS (Expedience)

6 Equipment:
Double Burst
Overdrive
Rocket Boosters
Veteran Helmsman
Power Generator

66 Cards total:

24 Move:
14 Evade
2 Conservative Action
2 Attack Position
2 Repair and Retreat
2 More Speed
2 Withdraw

21 Intervene:
6 Extra Counters
2 Repair
2 Reroute
2 Evasive Maneuvers
2 Deflected Attack
2 Miss
2 Improved Performance
1 Draw 3
1 Extra Action
1 Extended Vision

21 Attack:
3 Missiles
3 Torpedoes
4 Clear Shot
1 Cheap Shot
2 Combat Expertise: Weapons
4 Concussion Missiles
1 Quick Attack
2 Long Range Targeting
1 Close Quarters

I basically built this deck to be able to move around a lot, building energy constantly to hit the opponent with any time they got close by. I was only really able to test it once, so results as to whether it works or not are inconclusive.

A Bit of Sad News

The box that had my proof decks (the Inferno and the Relentless), my deck box from Fantasy Flight, my favorite card sleeves, and my mobility mini-set in it, as well as Dillon and Zack's proof decks (the Intrepid and the Achilles, respectively), was left on top of the car on the way to Mobicon Sunday morning. It was subsequently lost and not recovered, so I am unable to rebuild the Brutus Magnus deck that I had made prior to the release.

On a different note, though, now that the convention is over, I do have the core set Brutus to work with. I cannot make any alterations to it, but I can play, at least. I will be posting the decklist I had made for a kind of thrown together deck using the Brutus Magnus ship and the proof decks I had as well as the mobility mini-set, for anyone who might like to use it or alter it.

Mobicon 2013 is over

Overall, I would say we had a successful weekend. I may have only sold 4 copies, but Dillon and Zack demonstrated to over 80 people, not one of whom disliked the game. We also have two game shops, Mini War Games is Pensacola, Florida, and Game Master's Guild in Crestview, Florida, who are very interested in stocking the game on their shelves. Mini War Games also wants us to come down and demo the game in their shop. We had a lot of fun, met a lot of interesting people, and spread the word about the game. I think that's more important than how many we actually sold.

I also managed to sell a few of my Perler bead creations and one of Dillon's bags. That was pretty cool.

Mobicon

Today is the first day of Mobicon! After 2 months of planning and lots of anticipation, Dogfight: Starship Edition released Wednesday, just soon enough for us to have core sets to sell at our booth. I am running the booth, Dillon is demonstrating the game in the game room, and Zack is kind of roaming around relieving us as needed.

So far we have made one sale, but Dillon has given lots of demos and generated interest in the game, which is really what we're here for.

Also, we have cake!
