Thanks Bob for organising an enjoyable weekend gaming. Congrats to Tom (1st) and Ray (2nd)!

I have noted the provisional dates for Attack! 2026 (18-19 July) on the assumption that we will be able garner enough players to mount a FOG-R tournament.

I reiterate some of the feedback for next time shared verbally at the close:

Shorten the game time from 3.25 hrs to 3hrs or even 2.45hrs so that there is less rush for set-up and take-down and not enough time to visit other competitors, traders or participation games.

Do this by keeping the 6 x 4 tables, but reducing the points (Tom suggested 750).

See if it is possible to pick a theme where there could be more diversity of armies (not sure what mechanism could be reasonably used to make that a reality!).

Best regards
