Hi Kevin,

What is the size of the flank zones and also the baseline zone - I assume from your description that the Flanks are still 12", Baseline TZ is still 6" and deploy 10" in.

Is that correct (makes for a very narrow table for a foot army!)?

Don

[kevinj]

We've done this before with standard size zones and no real problems. A big bit of terrain can help here.

[kevinj]

Just a gentle reminder that this is just over 6 weeks away. I've had a trickle of entries but there's room for more.

Will there be cloths for the tables this year?

[kevinj]

Yes! Last year was our first time at the event and we didn't know quite what to expect.

[vexillia]

Is there still time to sign up?

[kevinj]

Yes, drop me an email or PM.

I've been asked to show how the sectors work on this sized table, so here it is:



This is the same setup that we used for the Games Expo, I think it works well on this size. Specifically:

1) Each player's compulsory terrain piece will be placed, as near to legally as possible.
2) Players may have only 2-3 rather than 2-4 additional pieces.
3) The flank deployment area is reduced to 10" which is the proportionate size compared to a 6' wide table.

There's still time to enter, please PM/email me if you're interested.

[vexillia]

Ta Kev. Nice job as always.

Actually terrain was 1 compulsory + 1-3 optional at Expo not 2-3 optional, gives the Cavalry commanders a chance to reduce the terrain.
