Hmm,

That might well be -1 when Simon and Terry work out how to enter.

I have already sent the 'please can we have some more space' request.

I haven't made plans on a hotel yet but if you drop me details of yours I will give them a call and check out availability.

A couple of bottles of budweiser would go down well, yep not a seasoned drinker. I'm hoping we will chat more about the glories to come.

The number of places has gone up to 20 and there are 3 spare so I think that means Simon and Terry are in. I haven't had anything from the organisers though.

Come on down and grab the last three places while you can.

Who is in then ?
(I know that you won't have a full R&R as there is a little time to go, before lists have to be submitted)

Myself and Sylvie have entered (a couple of weeks ago, so we've not used up any currently outstanding places) ....

Nope, never again ....

Well, maybe, but not until the game against RBS's Persians is a very distant memory ....

....and no men on horses shooting nasty arrows would be nice, after the way you trounced me last year and at Usk!!!

I would have expected them to email you with a list of name, or is that too much to expect

I am sure they will eventually. Lists don't have to be in for a month after all.

If my painting plan goes to plan I won't be shooting a single arrow, nasty or otherwise .... slingshots, now there's another story ....

...sounds like a cunning plan.....!

I entered a couple of weeks ago. This will be my first ever tournament, and probably the first time I have ever played FOG against an opponent as all my wargaming is solo. In fact one of the reasons for doing this is so that I can get a few proper games against armies other than those I can field in one of my solo games. This means that I will probably get tonked and can perhaps reserve the 20hth place. But from such a position, the only way is up and I will be trying and learning, however the rest of you can relax in the knowledge that you probably won't come last.

It's always nice to see new faces and assuming nobody drops out I will be on hand as a non playing umpire so don't be afraid to ask for help.

Well I received my confirmation e mail from "expo event services", they've taken my ticket money and tournament fee so I guess I'm in, all I have to do now is make an army that isn't pants. Last time I played in this tournament my first Cohesion Test roll came up double 1. It set the tone for the entire day so it can't get worse this time!

No No were having none of that I've been playing since Augest planning hard on coming last and you think you'll get it

Look forward to seeing you at the event hope you have a good set of games.

Hammy's very approchable should you require any help with points in the rules. But you'll find the players very helpful.
