Dates: 5 and 6 July 2014
800 pts armies
3h30 time limit per game with 4 games during the weekend.
Players will enroll in teams of two elements. Each element will fight in his own period, or theme, the combined result of the team will be the team score.
The theme will be chosen according with the guidelines presented by the FOG authors at the end of each army lists book.
For the 2014 edition of Lusitania Challenge, the previewed themes are "Storm of Arrows" and "Rise of Rome".
There will be no limit to the number of teams per country. In fact the teams don't have to represent a specific nationality. The players are encouraged to give colorful names to their teams.
The weekend will be organized in the same lines as the last ITC edition, including an optional tour on Friday, with similar costs and benefits.
The place for the event will be confirmed at a later stage, but the current candidates are Museu de Marinha (where the last editions of ITC were held) and Museu Militar de Lisboa.

Lisboa is waiting for you!

Fernando

Sounds good Fernando. I'll start enquiries to see if I can find somebody to partner me.

Just to state the obvious for others this tournament is in Lisbon, Portugal. The ITC has been hosted at Lisbon and it has always been a superb event - I've no doubt this will as well.

Thanks for the support Dave :).
In this moment we have prospect players from US, UK and Spain. We want to make this a great event and a great time for those who come. For the others... well, they can always hear the stories.

Would mention of submarining be in bad taste?

So you can get to Portugal, but you can't get to Cranfield for Roll Call?

Hope your daughter has a wonderful birthday.

Amateurs talk tactics, professionals talk logistics.

So yes - I can't get to Cranfield, but can get to Portugal :)
