Stockport Pick'n'Mix 2014 - December 13th/14th

[hammy]

It is getting close to Christmas so it must be time to publicise the Pick'n'Mix again.

Once again this event will feature the only edible prizes on the tournament circuit as well as other prize support.
I hope to get the Element Games store to open up for at least one day of the event. IMO they missed a trick last year but they are now much larger than they used to be and have an excellent stock of various different gaming goodies.

Venue: North West Gaming Centre - 1st Floor, Hallam Business Centre, Hallam Street, Stockport SK2 6PT
Date: 13th and/or 14th of December
Format: Two one day three game tournaments. Prizes for the winners each day and a prize for the overall winner for the weekend
Timetable: 9:00-9:30 registration, 9:30-12:00 game 1, 12:45-15:15 game 2, 15:30-18:00 game 3
Entry cost: £10 per person per day, juniors free

Periods:
FoG: 15mm Renaissance - one or both days depending on entries
FoG: 15mm Ancients - Both days Saturday, any army up to 1000AD, Sunday any army from 500AD, 650 points, 5' by 3' tables
DBMM: 15mm Ancients - 240 points - 4 by 3 tables, theme to be confirmed
Flames of War: 1500 points, Saturday 1500 points early war, Sunday 1500 points late war

Hi hammy,
Can I enter the fow lw on Sunday. I will be Germans. I will get a list to you in the future.
Cheers,

I'll be there both days. As usual, there's a Christmas booze-up the previous day, so I'll be on the first train from Didcot atsomegodawfulhour AM,arriving Stockport 09:24, so probably arriving at the venue 9:45-ish. Ugh.

Probably FoG ancients

If you are intending playing please can you let me know. I am trying to get an idea of what numbers will be like in each period.

Several people have spoken to me but very few have actually contacted me by mail.

[MatthewP]

Ill be there. FOG am both days.

At the moment I am still waiting to get an idea of how many people are up for FoG:R. I doubt it will be more than one day I am afraid

You clash with the Southern league FoGR which will not help numbers.

It has certainly not helped FoG:R numbers

FoG:AM numbers are pretty slim as well.

At the moment I am thinking that this Pick'n'Mix may well end up being the last

A lot can happen in wargames in 12 months though so it may well be that I end up doing it again next year.

[peteratjet]

Train gets into Stockport 9:24 am, so I should be there 9:45ish

OK Pete, I will bear that in mind.

See you in the morning

Thanks Hammy, I found it a small, but perfectly-formed tournament. And no danger of becoming over-weight due to the edible prizes. Apologies to my opponents, and thanks for their forbearance in over-looking the many deficiencies in my memory of the rules. I'd not played for far too long; this was a gentle and pleasant re-introduction. Steve.

[MatthewP]

Thanks Hammy another enjoyable weekend. Both prizes eaten within 10 minutes of getting home.

Thanks to all my opponents.

Cheers

Matthew

Thanks Rob.
It was close at the end.
More sweets than a grown man can (or should) eat.
