Where are you staying? We might be able to suggest transport options that would work best for you.

I'm Staying at my Sisters, she's the Nearest Station to her Place is Minto... other then that, I don't know where she lives, as in the Suburb, Sydney Confuses me, I'll ask tomorrow, and update.

Ahh, from sydney to Minto is quite the trek.

The good news is that there are two train lines that go to Minto from the city.

The bad news is that the quicker of the two lines takes just over an hour, and the other one takes about an hour and a quarter, so if you catch the train from the city at 8.48, you don't get to Minto until 9.55.

If you miss that train, the next is at 8.54, and you're looking at getting to Minto at 10.09.

The next train after that is 25 mintues later, so then it's just getting ridiculously late.

Wish I had better news for you.

It is Thursday night. Late night shopping in Sydney, in December.

The trains will have people on them - they will probably be interesting. I doubt you will have trouble.

We can make sure you are at the Station on time.

C'mon... we know ya wanna

I'll see if I can arrange it.

Next week, Thursday the 13th of December - Unlimited Class Wrestling! (Planet Hulk week 3)

• 500 point constructed tournament.
• Retirement is not in effect.
• No battlefield conditions.
• The UNLIMITED CLASS WRESTLING event dial is considered to be in play.
• Any Questions?

if you have a copy of the Unlimited Class Wrestling event dial, then it's probably a good idea to familiarise yourself with it and bring it along. Here's the full text and dial of the event for your convenience:

#E003 Unlimited Class Wrestling

• Before objects are placed on the map, place four SPECIAL markers on the map so that they mark the outside corners of a 6-square by 6-square area containing as much clear terrain as possible as close to the center of the map as possible; this area is the Ring. Objects can’t be placed in the Ring.
• Each player chooses one friendly character and places it in an unoccupied corner inside the Ring; this character is his or her wrestler. A wrestler can’t leave the Ring, and treats the edges of the Ring as if they are walls that can’t be destroyed. When a player’s wrestler is knocked out or eliminated, that player must choose a friendly character outside the Ring and place it in an unoccupied corner inside the Ring as his or her new wrestler. If a character is carrying an object when it becomes a wrestler, it drops the object in the nearest unoccupied square before being placed in the Ring.
• No ranged attacks can be made by any character.

Hourglass: At the end of each turn, turn the dial once or a number of times equal to the number of wrestlers knocked out or eliminated during the turn, whichever is more.

Fair Fight If any character that isn’t a wrestler is given an action that would affect a wrestler, affect any square inside the Ring, or move the character into or through any square of the Ring, give the character an extra action token after the action resolves.

Power Broker A wrestler can use Exploit Weakness and Flurry if it does not already possess either or both of those powers. After the resolution of an action in which an wrestler uses a power from this effect, deal the wrestler 1 unavoidable damage.

Disqualified! At the beginning of each player’s turn, he or she rolls a d6 for each character in the Ring who is not a wrestler and has two or more action tokens. On a result of 1 or 2, the character is immediately knocked out.

EDIT: The Winner was M.O.D.O.C., with a team that featured Devil Dinosaur and Moon Boy!

My own Devil Dinosaur and Moon Boy team came in third, so it was clearly a great format for the atavistic duo!

Next week, Thursday the 20th of December - Evolutionary War! (Planet Hulk week 4)

• 400 point constructed tournament.
• Retirement is not in effect.
• No battlefield conditions.
• One of the characters on your force must have "evolved" from his original state to whatever powers he now possesses. Examples include Beast (in blue-furred form), Vampire Batman, Archangel, any villain given powers by Neron, Wolverine (Weapon X), and so on. Basically, if the character has a secondary mutation or was granted new powers by any force, it has "evolved".
• The EVOLUTIONARY WAR event dial is considered to be in play.
• Any Questions?

Purifiers: At the beginning of each round, each player can declare a special or standard power. All declared powers are ignored until the end of the round.

Restoration A the beginning of each round, remove all debris tokens from the map. All destroyed walls are no longer destroyed. All clear, grounded, outdoor terrain is hindering terrain. Each player can choose a friendly character that occupies an opponent's starting area and heal it of 2 damage.

Genesis Chamber Once at the beginning of each player's turn, each player can choose a target friendly character and declare a combat value (other than range); if the target possesses a standard power of the chosen value, ignore that power until the end of the turn. Then each player who chose a target rolls a d6.
On a result of 1-3, the target can use the standard power on that combat value on the PAC that occurs immediately before the ignored power, until the end of the turn.
On a result of 4-6, the target can use the standard power of that combat value that occurs immediately after the ignored power, until the end of the turn. (The first standard power of a particular combat value on the PAC is considered to be immediately after the last standard power of that combat value.) At the end of the turn, deal the target 1 unavoidable damage.

EDIT: The winner of week 4 was Matt, featuring a Spy thematic team of 2x Iron Widow and 2x Winter Soldier! I came in second with a team of Ghost Rider, Ghost Widow, Hawkeye, Mister Mind, Phantom Girl, and Scarlet Witch.

Next week, Thursday the 27th of December - Earth's Mightiest Teams! (Planet Hulk week 5)

• 800 point constructed tournament.
• Retirement is not in effect.
• No battlefield conditions.
• Four actions per round.
• All of the characters on your force must possess the same team symbol.
• Any Questions?

EDIT: As expected by many people, the colossal figures came out in force tonight, with Galactus, Spectre and Starro seeing play. I won first place with a Mystics force of rookie Circe, the Spectre (Hal Jordan), and experienced Demon. M.O.D.O.K. came in second with the mighty 800-point Starro.

Next week, Thursday the 3rd of January - Four Colour Comics! (Planet Hulk week 6)

• 400 point constructed tournament.
• Retirement is not in effect.
• No battlefield conditions.
• You must choose one colour as the theme of your force: Black, Blue, Red, or Yellow. Every character on your force must either have the chosen colour in his name, or have at least 75% of their costume/body bearing that colour.
• There is some leeway for names that contain synonyms of your chosen colour. Any character with Crimson, Ruby, or Scarlet in his name qualifies for a Red team. Characters with Gold in their name qualify for a Yellow team. Sapphire would qualify for a Blue team.
• Any Questions?

Next week, Thursday the 10th of January - Adults Only! (Planet Hulk week 7)

• 300 point constructed tournament.
• Retirement is not in effect.
• No battlefield conditions.
• None of the characters on your force may have the Kid or Teen keyword, or be considered kids or teenagers in the case of a character with no keywords (judge's decision final).
• Any Questions?

EDIT: Matt (Sgt. Grimes) came first with an Ares one-man-army, and Rob (Than0seid) was second with his team of "Avengers who died in Disassembled".

Next week, Thursday the 17th of January - Diversity Comics! (Planet Hulk week 8)

• 400 point constructed tournament.
• Retirement is not in effect.
• No battlefield conditions.
• Each character on your force must come from a different country.
• Any Questions?

Note that characters with "dual citizenship" (such as Superman, who is native Kryptonian but a naturalised American citizen) are considered to belong to both states.

EDIT: Mr._Nobody came in forst with a team of international Spies, and I was about twenty points behind with the Futuristic team of Catgirl plus the Legion of Super-Heroes.

We're taking a break from Planet Hulk for a number of reasons - waiting for the Tin Soldier to get some Mutations and Monsters product in stock, allowing the U.S. to catch up with us (we got ahead over Christmas), and hopefully waiting for the prize support to arrive.

In the meantime...

Next week, Thursday the 24th of January - Shifting Battlefields!

• 300 point constructed tournament.
• Retirement is not in effect.
• Assign two battlefield conditions to your force. At the beginning of each game, your opponent chooses which of your battlefield conditions will be played that round.
• Ordinary Day may not be used.
• Any Questions?

Thematic teams can choose to ignore one battlefield condition as described in the official tournament rules - but as your opponent gets to choose which of your BFCs will be played, the impact of really nasty BFCs is likely to be reduced. There's not much point using Malice (nobody will ever choose it), so bring something fun instead!

EDIT: The winner was Dion with an all-Warrior team (mostly Blackfires), followed by M.O.D.O.C.'s Robot team of Ahab, Danger, Red Tornado, and Spiral. My Mystical team (Scarlet Witch, Shaman, Shazam, and Wiccan) was a respectable third.

The battlefield conditions seemed to have very little impact on the games I saw - not sure whether that's because Astral Plane kept coming up against Atlantis Rising, or whether thematic teams neutered them too much.

Next week, Thursday the 31st of January - Mutations and Monsters Floor! (Planet Hulk week 9)

• 400 point constructed tournament.
• Retirement is not in effect.
• No battlefield conditions.
• At least 50% of your force must consist of characters and feats from the Mutations and Monsters set (200+ points of a 400 point force).
• Any Questions?

EDIT: Matt won the Planet Hulk final with a team that was built around the Maestro, appropriately enough!

Next week, Thursday the 7th of February - Comic-Accurate Teams!

• 400 point constructed tournament.
• Retirement is not in effect.
• No battlefield conditions.
• All of the characters on your force must have been members of the same team at the same time.
• Any Questions?

EDIT: The winner was Matt (Sgt. Grimes) who beat my score by two (!) points using his Exiles team.

Next week, Thursday the 14th of February - Love Nest!

• 300 point constructed tournament.
• Retirement is not in effect.
• No battlefield conditions.
• The highest-point character on your force is considered to be in love with the highest-point character on your opponent's force. Those two characters may not attack each other.
• If two characters on your force are equally tied for highest-point value, your opponent chooses which one is in love with the opposing character.
• Any Questions?

EDIT: The winner was Andrew (M.O.D.O.C.) with a team of Poisoning Batman Enemies!
