Re: The 2nd Coffee Cup, 24th-25th August
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.Angry Hobbit wrote:So only 5 week to go, I am thinking of transportation.

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.Loki wrote: 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.

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

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.Angry Hobbit wrote:Are all the new Halfling positionals/star players eligible?

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!

Re: The 2nd Coffee Cup, 24th-25th August
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.
