Southern League FOG R 2014 at Oxford

[viking123]

Andy,

Most of the Oxford team will bring their own Sandwiches.

The local BP garage has a M&S as it's shop so you can get sandwiches there. There is also a small Waitrose shop as part of the Services at the Peartree interchange at the A34 junction.

Important note for travelling players : Garages have either M&S or Waitrose (none of yer "Wild Bean Cafe" muck here Sir!") and "sandwiches" are also capitalized when one is in Oxford.

No selecting victims or opponents in the first round. I will do a random draw Saturday afternoon.

I have just found that the public transport links will not get me to Oxford for a 9am start. I thought they would but I would be about 30 minutes late. Therefore is anyone going from the London area
that I could cadge a lift with? If not I will have to travel up on Saturday and stay over.
Stephen

[andyfinkel]

I lve in west London (nearest stations Shepherd's Bush/Latimer Road/Holland Park/White City, and propose to leave about 7.30 am.)

If you think you can get to one of those stations by that time on Sunday, you're welcome to a lift. let me know. You can email me offlist at andyfinkel@yahoo.co.uk

[viking123]

Now received clarification on the outstanding entries and we now only have 1 outstanding list from Nik Gaukroger who has not contacted me to say whether he is still coming or not.

Query on army lists

If I want to have the option of using detached shot, do I need to submit an alternative army list to Bob before the tournament, or just adjust my army list on the day?

Thanks

[benjones1211]

It needs to be submitted to the list checker with your original list.

Ben

Andy,

Send it quickly to Tom so he can check it.

Bob

[Zanoni]

Just a quick question, is it pre-set terrain as usual?

Cheers,

Geoff

[quackstheking]

Just a quick question, is it pre-set terrain as usual?

Yes Geoff - see first post - I suspect it will be just a mix of Agricultural, Hilly and woodland!

Don

[alasdair2204]

I've chosen 1644 Covenanters and Parliamentarians for my army in the competition. I have some units rated as Horse since FoGR doesn't have a"knackered ponies" classification .

If we win,(assuming I can persuade them to fight on a Sunday!) my army will hold a prayer meeting rather than a party.

How dare you 'knackered ponies indeed, we are just bijou and slightly tired, definitely not knackered, well I hope not as my entire army is mounted on them

see you tomorrow

The first three places in the Oxford Round were: -

1st Jim Gibson - 72 point
2nd Don Avis - 44 points
3rd Tim Porter - 41 points

Martin von Tol was equal on 41 points but the three players Tim had player overall finished higher than Martin's.

Full results in a couple of days.

Hall already booked for the same weekend next year.

Not that historical. The Covenanters won the original battle ....
