I leave for England and Skullrollers tomorrow. My army (Western Later Hemophiliac Pacifists) is packed and ready. All I have to do is get there.
I am going to be staying at my brother's in London until the 28th, and had thought to take the train to Daventry. All I know about this is to take the Tube to some train station or other with a name familiar from Sherlock Holmes stories, and then....and then it all goes blank. How does one find out which train to catch? The website I found was confusing- is there a better method? Also, what's the best way to get from the train station to the Cross Roads B&B?
Suggestions are very welcome.

I walked it from LB to the crossroads hotel at Weedon Bec last year.  Nice walk but its about 5/6 miles.  I'm pretty sure there is a bus though. Again just google bus from LB to WB.

I'm not sure that I have your army list for checking - have you sent it?
HH

Yes, you have approved it already. I may have given a somewhat poetic version of the list name.

I know - I was pulling your leg!

HH

Down to our last - magnificent - seven;

Adrian Pitfield, Bill Skinner, Frederic Maillard, Lee Sanders, Mathew Poole, Robert Smith and Roger Pitfield.

R&R within touching distance folks!

HH

Great mix of lists in so far.
Of the 30 I know so far we have 24 different lists used.
Thanks to Hunter for all the hard work list checking - much appreciated.

See you all there.

Note Kiel adjusted after we spotted a flaw in Preston ....

Kiel
Add "Kiel can only be claimed by and UG that is 2BW wide ".  Add "Kiels are exceptions to Pursuits and Press Forward moves: they only pursue if the entire Kiel can do so (so if there are 4 TuGs in a block, all must be able to pursue) and they never press forward after contact." The intent being that they keep their Kiel formation together and avoid running off in ways that break it up.

I have a Pitfield pinkie promise for lunchtime today folks so if anyone has contact details for the famous five please try a nudge.

I am literally aching to share the incredible variety of armies that will be showcasing at Skulls.   More variety than the old Woolworths pick and mix!  Remember that?  ......... happy days!

HH

Pick and Mix, worth more per ounce than gold!

As an extra incentive you should delay issuing runner and riders to players who are late with their list so if someone is seven days late then they get the runners and riders seven days after everyone else. In extreme cases they might get them the week after the tournament concludes.

The Pitfields have weighed in and so has Mr Saunders.   Down to the fantastic four!  We are just inches from R&R!  Standby.
HH

Just Bill Skinner, Frederic Maillard, Mathew Poole and Robert Smith to go folks.   Nudge 'em if you know 'em!
HH

concerning Frededric Maillard, he is out, a job of last fall in his shoulders. Normally he has warned Simon or he is going to do

Thanks mate.  That's a pity that Frederic is not coming to Skulls.   On the plus side he has work so that is good!   Also on the plus side basho goers, we are now at 40 entrants with 37 lists received, 35 approved and 2 with outstanding queries.

Only the triumvirate are left to weigh in with lists

"Big Bad" Bill Skinner
"Mad Dog" Mathew Poole ... and
the Very Reverend Robert Smith.

If you know'em - nudge'em.

HH

Have nudged Matthew, he sent his list to Si, and will send it to you this pm.

Do we have a rough timetable for the three games on Saturday or in plain English when are we likely to be finished?
