Hi All,

It was a great event last year with some good food and lots of drink.

The following is a post from the warhammer forum, from the guy running the event. The link for the entry pack is.

From what I heard the days of S4 frenzied amazon blitzers are long gone.

Can't see any reason why I wouldn't go to this, count me in

I'm in again this year. Had a blast last year, it had a really nice atmosphere and the lads from the other game systems were brilliant.

No Stat increases this time (so no Str 4 Blodgers to contend/powergame with!)

Rules pack and entry forms are up:

You can also follow more goings on for this event over at Warhammer.org:

This is a multi-system event and it sells out pretty fast due to its popularity. Also there is a limited number of the rooms (not bad @ £22 per night). If you're thinking about it then I'd recommend doing so sooner rather than later. Weather can't be guaranteed, but last few years have been scorchers (even with the miserable weather we've had!) and a barbeque has been doling out plenty of tasty grub to be washed down with student-bar priced drinks - it is a university after all and it would be rude not to take advantage!!!

Assume registration finishes at 0930 rather than 1930...

Podfrey · Post by **Podfrey** » Mon Apr 20, 2009 9:26 am

Yup - probably!! Even for Toy Soldier that would be VERY easy going

mubo · Post by **mubo** » Thu Apr 23, 2009 1:21 pm

I'm on the list! Don't recognise the other names on there... possibly PubBowler and ninjahamster? Only 6 confirmed entrants so far...

G-off: I was looking at the rulepack... interesting... How does the veto thing work? My choice of veto might influence opponent's choice, e.g. if I veto strip ball, he might not be inclined to veto sure hands and vice versa. I'm sure you've considered this though, the powergamer that you are.

Good point. I guess each coach writing it down on a bit of paper is the fairest option. You could roll of for "first veto", but this is a big advantage in some circumstances.

I can't wait to play dwarves;

I veto one of your seven guarders,
He vetos kick

Behave causing trouble will ya!

We discussed this and the rule will be changing to max 3 of the same skill.

As for how it works, bit of paper should suffice so it will be simultaneous. I'll update the rules pack to make this clear though. Thanks!
