Advance the Colors: Commitments Needed

There will be a FoG tournament at Advance the Colors held on Saturday September 13th in Springfield Ohio. I am posting here to generate a list of committed players for Saturday's tournament.
Please respond to this thread with your first and last name and what scale you plan to play in (15mm or 25/28mm.)
Please, please, please, only respond if you plan to be there. I am certainly glad to hear that you "might" or "would like" to come, but I need to know definites right now for the purposes of planning the event. There are also folks considering travelling a long distance and/or making significant sacrifices to attend ATC. It would be a shame to not have their preffered scale adequately attended.
Thanks in advance,
Jeff Fletcher

I'm commited!

15mm.. Andy Swingle.. Though not sure on what army yet though. Will the Hungarians be out by the 13th?

If you can get a copy of Eternal Empire by the day of the con, I'll allow it.
Of course, I know this means there will be no pre tournament list checking but I'd preffer to do as much as possible to increase participation.

I'll be there and scrape together a 25mm Late Rep. Roman army.
Thanks, Philip Knapke

Dick Hurchanik will be there, at 15mm with a WoTR army. At least he said so to me last night.

I'm not seeing many confirmations here. I hope if there is not enough people for a 25mm tournament I can get a practice game in with someone.

Right now I'm counting 4 25mm players from various sources (NA FOG, this forum, and personal emails.) In any event, yes, it would be very likely to get in games somehow. It may be a good idea to have a 15mm army lined up just in case. There will be armies available as loaners if somehow the 25mm tournament doesn't happen.
More details and list of players so far soon to come.

I don't have a 15mm army so if I'm unable to play 25mm I'd gladly use any army if someone was willing to lend it to me.

Oops
Phil, I counted you twice, so we actually only have 3 right now including myself.
I'll keep you posted as the tournament approaches and either have a 15 mm army made up for you or let you know what troops I have available. I have Huns, Late Romans, and Sassanids to name a few.
JF
I'll be there...

Chuck, tell me again about posting the tournament announcement on the NASAMW site.
BTW, we'll have a whole host of new players, only a few of which have 3 or more tournament games under their belts. You could be this weeks featured guest on the Muppet Show.

I work 2nd shift on Friday so I won't be able to be there on Friday but since I don't really know what I'm doing it wouldn't bother me if you made up an army list for me. Any help is much appreciated.

If you guys live in Columbus, after Advance the Colors maybe we can get together and play FOG some time. I go to Columbus about once a month to visit some friends there. Do you guys usually play at one of the hobby shops like the Guard Tower?

Me, Herc and another friend get together and play.. I do have some room in my basement.. I just need a few more tables... And i need to clean it up a bit.. me and the roommates got it a mess... Me and Herc are running a noob game in December for our local game club.

Guys,
As much as I'd like to make it up for Saturday's game, I cannot due to soccer all day on Saturday and Sunday.
Anyone going to be up there on Friday afternoon/evening? I might be able to get up there for a game and am keen on taking on a few different opponents.
Madcam.

Well, I've been told that the Armory in Pickerington would like to see some FOG games run. Would that be more or less convenient? I haven't checked with the Guard Tower yet. I have been restricting my inquiries to places that carry FOG books.

Andy and I will be there on Friday. However, I don't know what Andy's plans are (but I suspect he has one.) I will probably not be there until maybe 5 or 6 pm. I'll test the waters for you about the plans of others as I suspect you don't necessarily want to play me again

Maybe a post on the NA FOG to see what people like Clay, the Indiana guys, or Dave Perry are doing is in order.
