Roll Call Theme announced

[madlemmey]

Brilliant news,
She's got the making of a really good player, and got the banter!

[kevinj]

25mm entered. Hopefully I'll be using my own army this time!

Roll Call has now sold it's 100th ticket today meaning only 44 spots left between the 12 periods on offer. Already one period (Bolt Action) is sold out! We have seen a surge of entries in November (71) and judging by the pace of entries, I wouldn't be surprised to see Roll Call sold out by the end of the year!!!

This means that if you want to enter Roll Call 2016, you may need to think about entering sooner rather than later. Currently both the 25mm and 15mm events FoGR periods are on odd numbers at 7 and 5 respectively. Normally we would expect c. 28 entrants across both these periods but that means taking up 16 of the remaining 44 spots, before the FoGAM boys grab the remaining spaces.

The message is simple (and to quote Fred Pontin) - Book Early

I am booked in for the 25mm competition. Ready to float is necessary.

Sorry, I am sure this question has been answered before, but, ¿what does exactly mean that artillery can not be deployed so it can not shoot in the flank zone?; ¿that contemplates moving the artillery later? (I will try to assist from Spain with my favourite moghol army?

Thanks,

[kevinj]

Medium & Heavy artillery cannot be deployed so they could fire into the flank zones.

The aim of this is to prevent players from deploying Heavy/Medium artillery to shoot at troops in the outer 12 inch parts of the table. The artillery may be moved so that it can target these areas once the game has started.

If you are able to come from Spain you will be most welcome. Please let us know if you have any questions or if there is anything that would help.

[tamerlan]

Thank you very much, I will confirm my assistance as soon as possible, I have seen there are only two tickets left.

After my Samuari got run over yesterday, I think I can safely say they will not be coming to Rollcall! First five morale checks failed (two double drops) and the only unit that really put up a decent fight was my spear armed ashugari!

Early Hungarian with gendarmes are NASTY!

[tamerlan]

15 mm entered and assistance confirmed; I am taking a Moghul army

[madaxeman]

Excellent - we are now only really looking for one more 25mm player to have a full house!

[madlemmey]

Any news on how many have entered each pool old chap?

[madaxeman]

9 so far in 25mm, 10 in 15mm.

So, we do need one more player, either in 25mm, or in 15mm (if one 25mm player is also happy to swap into 15mm)

[madlemmey]

Great news! Looking forwards to it!

[madlemmey]

Now the (thankfully short) Flames of War season is over, I can get on with my army for this. Two units and a GC are finished already. Will be a push to get the others done (but at least most are armoured, metal paint, wash, highlight, done!, but really enjoying it so far. Hopefully might even get a practise game in soon too!

[viking123]

Practicing that 's cheating!!!!

So what is this army?

Not Early Hungarian with gendarmes surely!!!

[madlemmey]

No, that's my good friend/fiend Draco (Paul Cummins), I'm going for something sillier!
Bit of a clue here: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.p ... 604.0.html

But also you now have to pull an all nighter on the morning before the comp to finish army as well .... To keep up

[kevinj]

The deadline for lists (18th March) is fast approaching. Please send list to me for 15mm and Alasdair for 25mm.

Full details are on the BHGS website.
