More players wanted for the FOG:R pre-release tournament at Britcon.

Now is your chance to take part in FOG:R at the begining, get a preview of the rules, and take part in a tournament without any tournament tigers.

You don't have to have been a beta-tester, you will automatically be signed up when you enter.

What armies are permitted? Quite interested, but I don't have a renaissance army as such, but do have a few Late meds that might be OK - presuming that basing remains the same ?

You can sign up for FOG R and the rules will be sent to you. You do have to sign a NDF before gettin g them. IIRC I think bases for DBR can be used don't quote me on that, there is a thread on the FOG R site about bases.

Thanks. Rather an eclectic mix, but have a couple of possibles will follow up. (although no one does that anymore)

I think the mix is to allow people the full flavour of the period. As for basing, all the games I have played I have not rebased a single DBR figure though I probably should so do for things like generals and regimental guns but so far it has not been a major problem.

The armies are the beta test lists - they were done to get a wide enough cross section of troop types and formations play tested.

Indeed - they are only the beta lists and we wanted examples from a wide range of timelines and geographical areas to test all the different features of the rules during beta-testing.

Of course the 6 army list books will contain a total of about 130 different lists.
