Looks like The 2015 Worlds will be in Portugal / Lisbon in the middle week in September

The Portuguese hosts would however need someone to offer to umpire and list-check for FoGR in order to run it as a period, as they don't have any local players able to do this.

Given the dates/location are now essentially sorted, is there someone who would be happy to put their hand up for either the checking and/or onsite umpire duties ?

cheers

Would that be as a non-playing umpire or could the umpire participate as well. If the latter then I would be interested.

Ben

Very little chance of me being able to make it so would happily list check.

A player-umpire would be no problem at all.

looks like we are sorted then

Is this competition open to everyone?

Yes

Oh goody. Ta very much Tim

Cheers

woot woot

FoGR in Lisbon.

Question from the boss: do many wives/girlfriends go... And would any be interested in banding together to do sensible things, while the boys play with their toys...

Rachael has come with me to Lisbon for the last couple of comps.

There is quite a bit to do, or not to do in town.

some Portuguese wine may be enjoyed ..........

and I've booked flights and hotel.

I'd do the same if I could find the website for entries and the date!

Dave,

Taken from the FOG AM forum: -
"We have now confirmed that The Worlds will be held in Lisbon over the weekend 12-13 September (perhaps including the afternoon of Friday 11th). This is the weekend following ITC in Rome.

The Portugese hosts are now giving thought to finalising the rule sets to be offered, timetable etc and this will be published in due course.

The venue will be the Military Museum next to the Jeronimos Monastery, in the picturesque suburb of Belem, Lisbon. Players who have previously attended the ITC in Lisbon will be familiar with this venue."

Bob

Flights and hotel booked (Wednesday to Wednesday)

Now just need to figure out how to enter FoGR comp

Well Dave and all you others here's where to register

Two games Friday, Saturday and Sunday so need to get there on the Thursday at the latest I suspect.

This is outrageous - only one hour for the Friday evening meal!

Are they trying to starve us?

As long its a plate of custard tarts I won't care

Mmmm, custard tarts!

Just a reminder that

Gather your army, plan your trip, bring an happy face and you are very welcome to invade Portugal and come to play together.
We’ll do our best to make it an unforgettable experience for you and for us all.

Just noticed a very subtle difference in the wording about artillery for different competitions. In some it is Medium and Heavy Artillery that need 6 Non-Commanded Shot (or Artillery) bases of Foot Battle Troops per base and in some it is just Artillery. Is it intended at The Worlds to restrict all Artillery or just Medium and Heavy Artillery?
