So only 5 week to go, I am thinking of transportation.

I will be coming by train, so what is the best station to get to and can I get a lift from there? Alternatively, if anyone is coming from/through Bristol, I could get a train to Templemeads/Parkway or where ever.

Thanks in advance.

Think I'm the only one coming from Bristol itself and I'm on the Chippenham side already, I was asssuming I was training it to Chippenham and then making my way from there. Happy to share a taxi if no one can give us a lift from Chippenham to Dave's.

Anyone else likely to be coming into Chippenham and want to share a taxi?

Happy to get train(s) to/from Chippenham and share taxi. If you would care to PM me the train times you want to take closer to the day that would be great.

Thanks.

There will be lots of Chippenham related travel I'm sure - I'm planning to train over, certainly.

As there’s nothing in the rules pack, I’ll defer to the most common NAF ruling that stars can only be purchased after a roster has 11 players. Have added it to next year’s ruleset.
Angry Hobbit wrote:Are all the new Halfling positionals/star players eligible?
All Spike Magazine contents to date are permitted. Will rule each one as it comes, if anything arrives mid/late August, it’s unlikely to be included due to the proximity to the event.

Decided on Chaos Dwarves with this. I'll carry with a hobgoblin games 1-4, and bull centaur games 5-8. By games 9-11 I won't be able to tell the figures apart, so probably with a mino!

That team choice may scare a few of those asking Halfling-related questions into slightly different team choices... other than Angry Hobbit, of course!

I doubt the Spike! magazine will be released in time anyway but, due to the inevitable typos and editing oversights, The 2nd Coffee Cup will be using the existing Lizardmen rules, positionals and star players.
