Halo: Flashpoint is latest, biggest hit game from Mantic Games. It made the top ten seller list for the fourth quarter of 2024, despite only being available for half the quarter. Mantic ran 16 Halo Events ( out of 26 ). They asked me to run two of them.
On Saturday it was the Single Weapon Challenge. The idea of this is for each player to bring their legal Fireteam - however each round the weapon loadout for ALL models would be replaced with identical loadouts for everyone.
However this did not appear to be a popular idea, as we only had four players.

| Alexander Covington, Jake Eilders, Ian Anderson, Andre batts |
The event was scheduled for four rounds, but we decided to just do round-robin (so three rounds, with everyone playing everyone).

| Round 1: Alexander Covington v Andre Batts |
 |
| Round 1 Ian Anderson v Jake Eilders |
 |
| Round 2: Jake Elders v Andre Batts |
 |
| Round 2: Ian Anderson v Alexander Covington |
 |
| Round 3: Ian Anderson v Andre Batts |
 |
| Round 3: Alexander Covington v Jake Eilders |

Everyone seemed to have fun. I don't expect us to do this again however. I expect next year that all the Halo: Flashpoint events will use the Wargames expansion (giving points to all models, and allowing for customizations of your fire teams). This event would not do well with that as people are paying points for weapons they can't use.
Because it is all fun and games . . .
