Great idea. Can everybody send me there mobile numbers and also text me when due to arrive. Once I see R @ R I can then time my walk in to perfection LOL And still get thrashed 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Goos idea though 👍 Now who do I want to walk in with 🤔 Dodge Jason, RJC,CID ...........

Cid

Yep , prefer the draw from hat on arrival . last year the draw was done prior to the day so had to wait for your opponent to turn up.

Anyways will post when Robin is due to arrive just for those who want a quick game ;)

Halo basho goers.

I am just back from a week on Eriskay (tiny island off the coast of Bonnie Scotland) and able to share some GREAT news.   We are currently at 22 competitors which compares very favourably at this stage with Britcon '18. If you know of anyone who is swithering rope 'em in toute suite - the more the merrier.

Even better - I have 11 army lists in my little in tray so we are a good 1/2 way to your runners and riders already.   Nice mix of armies so far although I guarantee that some will raise eyebrows.

Game times will be either 3 hours flat or 3 hours plus/minus 5 minutes - just to be confirmed by our resident Meg Meister.  Either way its as near to 3 hours as damnit.

Tim has said that players will be matched up - subject to the normal exclusions - to play the Friday round on arrival at Britcon mission control.

Game times will be 3 hours plus/minus 5 minutes determined by rolling 2 x D6, one plus and one minus apart from Friday night which is play till Tim or Kevin chases you out of the games room with a cattle prod!

13 lists now received folks - just 9 to go then you will have your runners and riders.   Some cracking choices in there which will make for a great competition.

Hold the 'phone!  15 lists received and approved.  Just 7 to go and the runners and riders are yours!

Remember - its not too late for mates to join in on the fun.   If you know anyone who is swithering I can testify that its a right good weekend out!

A gentle reminder that if you have booked the super value (£42 per night with all you can gorge breakfast) student accommodation at the Pendulum Hotel you need to pay a week in advance latest.   That means today for me as I've just been paid!   Cinders is going to the ball it seems!

Stop Press

An amazing 16/22 lists now received, checked and approved.

Just six to go before you get your runners and riders folks.   I'm hoping that I will be able to post same on Friday as Thursday is club night for many and the serious gamers will be play testing long and hard up to the wire to perfect that killer army!
