(And put on the NAF so the date isn't taken.)

Currently this is looking like it will be CRP + the three teams.

This is not set in stone yet.

Still waiting for 100% confirmation - have been verbally told the date is ok but want the reassurance of the written.

But the rules are the easy bit - if they're not broke don't fix them.
Anyone wanting to get started on their team can use the 2016 rules pack: viewtopic.php?f=28&t=41697#p739044

pop me down as interested. Am at Waterbowl the weekend after, and need to see if I can spend any more wife points (although I have feeling I might be overdrawn)

In the process of writing (finishing) the rules pack (thankfully off tomorrow/Wednesday, but thought I'd post an important addition here:

IMPORTANT

Due to the size and number of tables available we will continue to use the 3rd edition size pitches. If you have the new, larger pitch you are more than welcome to bring it but be aware we cannot guarantee you will be able to use it.

Similarly with models, be aware smaller pitches will be the norm so bear that in mind with team selection.

The release of the NAF Rules document (http://www.thenaf.net/wp-content/upload ... sFeb17.pdf) means I'll need to re-write the rules pack slightly, as we'll fall after the effective date.

So until I get the new one written, please be aware that #1-#5 are now in effect, so humans and halflings get a boost (which may mean human skill choices may change).
While I'm at it, I might as well allow the Bugman's Star Players (see the above PDF).

Will hopefully get the updated pdf done today or tomorrow.

Might take this oppotunity to re-juggle the tiers a little (or I might not).

Humans might move up to Tier 1, Necromantic might move down to Tier 2.

Due to Halflings getting a boost compared to other stunty teams, I might remove one of the bonus skills from them and the Stunty Cup lizzies, and call that a new tier 4, then make Ogres, Goblins and Stunty Underworld tier 5 using the current rules.
