Just to be clear, Britcon FoGR is ANY army from ANY book, yes?

Given where we currently are I think the end of March or sometime in early April may be realistic - but no guarantees.

So,

whose in for FoGR at Britcon?

looks like it may be the last year of FoGR, seeing the way the the last few comps have gone.

Simon

I am

Keith

Not me this year. Time to change period.
John

me neither - the ship has sailed

Hunter Hope and Stewart Riddick also dropping out from last year.
John

Currently on 4, pretty much exactly the same as last year at this time.

Overall we're 10% up y-o-y across all periods so far

so,

will Britcon include the latest revisions?

Need to decide what extra miniatures to paint.

Up to 5 now, so looking set to be a more than viable event, and with more than 20 people keen to play at Derby there certainly seems to be a positive groundswell at the moment.

I'd be inclined to go with the revisions - assuming they are finalised and published soon. I guess we need a cutoff date though - end of June?

Up to 7 - Thunderbirds are GO GO GO!!!

So,

It's July now and the amendments aren't published.

What are we playing with for britcon?

FoGR v1?

Kevin and I will put our heads together on that one

We have so far;

Steve Stead
Keith Spedding
Simon LeRey-Meyer
Frederik Bohm
Frederic Bodin
Christopher Marston
Dave Parish

if that helps and there is a consensus among you all ..

I am happy to go with the amendments

I think that's the plan - it's just a question of which ones!

What about the one where Keith rolls badly for every dice?

Don't need amendments for that! I think the ones giving a built in penalty to Aussies are the best...

Although with Simon's submarining it would improve his chances!

Hmmm

And where did I place last Britcon?

" face plant....."
