Looking for some feedback for our next Garagecon, obviously we would like to get as many as we can to play so any comments appreciated.

Terrain:

Each player will/may submit a plan of the battlefield showing a terrain layout.
Terrain must match one of the players army’s terrain types and will consist of both compulsories and 2-4 other terrain pieces. (open spaces should be show but obviously won’t be placed)
As it’s a 4x4 table player show the deployment sides of the battlefield.
Terrain plans for preset terrain will be selected at random from all those submitted, as only half will be required. Be aware, if your plan is selected you will supply the terrain

Matchup/deployment:

Table placement for first round to be random.
