2023-04-01/02 Roll Call 2023 - 28mm Magna

[nikgaukroger]

RJC has notified me of one change that was missed out in the earlier post regarding general's command distances. This has been added to the first post above.

Command Range

In the PDF edition, professional generals will have a command range of 7 BW, and instinctive generals a command range of 5BW.  The range for floating generals will reduce from 15BW to 10BW.

Hi

Just wondered if 8k isnt too many points for this?  Ive only played one game but that was 7k and that seemed busy.  Has 8k been play tested?  Just wondering as wouldnt it limit armies a bit?

Roll Call 28mm MeG Magna is now sold out.

However, there are a small number of "Add yourself to Waitlist (all "sold out" periods)" tickets available on the BHGS website. These cost nothing to register for and are used to allocate any remaining space on a first come first served basis.

Therefore, if you are interested in attending for the MeG comp book one of these ASAP.

For those interested in 28mm Magna but unable to play at Roll Call a reminder that there is another Magna comp in the calendar for 24th/25th June - https://mortem-et-gloriam.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=2794.0

Looks like the BHGS have reviewed the numbers at Roll Call and there are now 13 of the "Waitlist" tickets available at the time I write this.

Yep, schoolboy error. We'd set the overall event capacity to be, erm, "the capacity of the venue" without realising that any "Waitlist" tickets that were reserved would then be included as part of the overall capacity.  Thats now been tweaked 

There's an essentially unlimited number of Waitlist tickets - but of course they only get released if registered players drop out, so only a handful will get released in reality.

Currently there's one wannabe MeG player on the Waitlist.

More Roll Call related PSA.

Player numbers at Roll Call are thankfully even, however, it would be really really useful if there was somebody out there who could act as a "last minute standby" in case we have a last minute drop out leaving us with an odd number of players and thus, the dreaded bye ...

If anyone could do this it would be great - and also free (if the BHGS needed paying I'll cover it as a thank you). If necessary I am sure we can sort a loan army out if one is needed.

In addition to asking for last minute cover the BHGS tell me that they can still accommodate 2 MeG players due to unavoidable drop-outs. So if there are 2 people out there who find they can definitely (and I mean definitely) play it should be possible to sort tickets. Please let me know ASAP if you find yourself available - nikgaukroger@blueyonder.co.uk

I do, however, think the "drop-out cover" is more important than the 2 places.

NB Simon Stokes has stepped in to be cover should we be odd numbers (which we currently are) and can play at short notice. However, he cannot make the first game on Saturday; should he be required I will take the bye in the first game if we are uneven.

Many thanks to Simon for this
