Starting to look forward to this - will be my first comp of any sort for 2019 ;D
Looks like I may well even get a practice game with the army before it - useful having not used it before :o
Not long now. Need to finalise an army. Need a game :o
Moi aussi!
One and a half more TuGs to paint then I'm ready!
Went and brought heather tufts to make the bases look like the local hearts...
So who is going to this ? ie what's the Runners ?
List sent in.
Anybody alive out there :o All a bit quiet ::)
Had two practice games, One v Pike. I lost. Then played Early Imperial Roman. Corner huggers, I fell asleep LOL :-\ :-\
It's ok you'll be able to give me a kicking and show me how it's done!
How're you going to get the pikes next time?
Heavy Machine Guns 🙄
I'm here Robin

Bit premature isn't it? I know all lists can't be in as I haven't sent mine yet ... :P
Provisional I guess, and HURRY UP! :-*

It's been brought to my attention (having not played under the 2019 points tweaks) that 10K in 2.5 hours might be tricky now (we designed the schedule under the older rules).
Happy to take a vote on it, but would people be more comfortable with 4 x 3 hour games (as per last year) rather than 5 x 2.5 hours?
Not overly bothered to be honest.
Definitely 4x3

Definitely won't complete many (if any) games in 2.5 hours. I would much prefer 3 hour games.
Richard
Defo 4 x 3. Got to down a couple of Herbert's afterwards :o
4 games of 3 hours has been confirmed elsewhere (i.e. Facebook :P :P )
Looks like Tony has had to retire due to a shelving disaster.
Hopefully you will effect repairs okay mate and not too many figures suffered.
