There will be FoG competitions at 15mm and 25mm at PAW 2011, which is being held on February 5th & 6th at the Kitto Centre, Plymouth.
Any army from any book, no restrictions. 800 points at 15mm: 650 points at 25mm.

Is it just FOG AM

Yes - just AM this year. Maybe Ren next year when all is published.
If there is enough interest.

More details of the show are available from the PAW2011 page of the PAW web site

I keep promising myself I'll find the time to make the trip. Maybe 2011 will be it - suspect how busy work is will dictate.

Well worth going Nik, a great event all round with some very nice demo and participation games too. Less of a clash with Usk now too!!

Do you plan to use a 6x4 foot table and 1 inch MU for the 25mm scale tournament, or some other variation?

We use the standard one inch MU, as listed in the rules - we'd have specified anything different in the handouts.

As to the tables, they are at least six feet by four feet: the actual trestles produce a table of six feet by about 4 foot six. In the past, we have marked out the four foot depths, but that actually created at least as many problems as it solved.

I'm not sure what Andy has decided to do for 2011 - I dare say he'll post something shortly

Ideally I'd like to use some of our club tables - which are exactly 6x4.

a few ideas

i) Just state that all games are on 6x4 irrespective of table size
ii) make the table size the fact, but on a prebattle roll of 1 or 2 the game is played lengthwise
iii) say that all armies who can do so must have more than half/two thirds of their bg's as non-skirmishers

Excellent ideas Azrael and I would prefer to implement them given the choice.
Unfortunately I was amazed that a few people yelped pitifully when I made similar suggestions a few months ago.
"Thats not fair, it punishes my favourite Pocohontas tribal army and I simply won't play etc. etc."
I have therefore already given my word that the rules would be as written - no adjustments. Cannot now go back on that.
As I said your ideas are not too dissimilar to mine and gives more armies better opportunities.
Steve Neate wrote a fine article earlier this year on the problems certain competition armies face on 6x4 tables.
I'll ignore the yelpers next year though and try to be a bit more radical.

Packs anti-skirmisher army.

2012 is a long way off.

Only six weeks now to the deadline for entries and 8 weeks to the competition itself.

Assume the usual smattering of players from the Berkeley Vale club. We'll sort ourselve out shortly and let you know what's what.

Missed a trick I think. Should have called this years tournament "900 years ago".
Only armies from the year 1111. How many wargamers like playing with all the ones?

Hammy rolled a one.

Very often if you listen.

1's are OK. its the 2's that get you (unless you're playing DBM).
