Army lists will have to be sent to the organisers before midnight on 20th September. Any list received after this time will be pinned to a public noticeboard. As not all lists are publicly available please attach a copy of the official army list to your list. Any mistakes found in the army lists during the competition will be resolved at the organiser's discretion.

Points: 800 points.

Points system: As per Britcon.

Loan of Armies: Julian Lopez (and maybe others) will be lending armies to those who don't wish to risk their figures to the vagaries of air transport. Please email him for more information at: j_lopez71@hotmail.com

Accomodation: Hotel Xauen, 3 stars, in the city centre 200 metres from the venue. (Single room: 30 euros. Double: 48 euros. Triple: 54 euros. Prices to be confirmed.). If you need help making a reservation or would like to stay in a different hotel please contact Juan Miguel Morillas who will do it for you.

You can also stay in Jaén's spectacular mountain-top arab fortress but it's a 20 min taxi ride away from the citycentre: http://www.parador.es/english/paradores ... becera=ing

Hi, Juan Miguel. I had not realized that the date had change. Anyway, I´ll be there with my troops... By the way, glad to hear that I´ll have more time to read the rules and ask for any miniature I need. I still don´t know how my list will look like. I have a standard DBM 400 pts EAP army. I hope there are no great changes.

*edit* I´m J. Luis Gomar. Maybe you didn´t know my nick. Greetings

Hello.

I live not very far from there (Malaga) and I want to try the FoG rules so I am very interested in playing the tournament.
My problem is that I don´t have the beta rules or the army list for my macedonian.
Where could I get them ?

Thanks

From what I understand you can look at Juan Miguel's Morillas copy at the tournament (practice games on Friday night) or you have to sign your own Non-Disclosure Agreement and return it to Slitherine. Although I'm not sure if the development team are restricting access to the rules. Simon? RBS? JDM? As for the lists I assume the organisers can send you the Macedonian list?

To be honest, having read the rules and a few battle reports, I think you will OK if you can make it to the Jaén on Friday night for the practice games. The game seems fairly easy and rewards historical play so as long as you don't try to play it like it is DBM you should be OK.

Regards,

Julian

Oh, does someone know when are the rules going to be mailed? We´re running out of time ! I´m not even sure about if I´ll have time to buy new miniatures if needed once I check the lists.
