FoGR at Campaign 2022 at Milton Keynes - 25mm ‘Big Toys’ open.

* Date: Sat 17 & Sun 18 Sept 2022. Venue: Middleton Hall, centre:mk, Milton Keynes
* List checker will be me <ray_boyles@hotmail.com>. Lists are required by 4th Sept 2022
* 700 Points in 25mm open, i.e. any list at any date.
* Table size 6' x 4'
* Distances 40mm per MU apart from 12" flank zones, initial deployment zones and terrain sizes
* We will use all amendments and Army list/points revisions published to date.
Special rules:
* Medium & Heavy artillery must be in the first batch and may not be deployed able to fire into the flank zones.
* Dragoons when making any move, including evade, starting or ending within 6MU of the enemy may make a full dragoon mounted move if they pass a CMT. Dragoons who make such a move may shoot as carbines (range and POA). They are assumed to be firing from horseback or to have dismounted so quickly that they cannot shoot as effectively.

In addition, to consider as possible revisions, we will trial these two specific army amendments:
1) Swedish salvo muskets may not fire at long range but their regimental guns may still fire at 6MU.
2) From 1592 Japanese Samurai and Ashigaru teppo troops with ‘arquebus’ can alternatively fire as bow at short or long range if 1 extra point is paid. This is to reflect mixed formations. All or none.
* 4 games each of 3 hours

Good Afternoon,

Having just posted this on the Forum, I would urge anyone interested to enter ASAP to ensure that this event does go ahead.

Indeed, early notification for any FoGR competition is going to be critical this year and in future years.

One factor is the absence or disruption of such events due to the pandemic, and the special arrangements that organisers need to take on board. Another key consideration is not only the choice of events but a wider range of rules now on offer. The organisers really do need to get a an early feel for how many players will enter, so they can plan how much - if any - space to allocate to these various sets.

If you want to continue to play FoGR at events, in crude terms please be mindful that if we don't show early on that we will use it, we may well lose it!

Thanks

Ray
