Tournament 3rd February York UK

The plan is for a 3 round tournament with 1 hour rounds starting as close to 10am as we can manage. That should allow 2 in the morning session and then a good hour and a half or more for lunch and a look at the traders, with a relaxed 3rd round followed by that inevitable last shopping opportunity

Right Ladies and Gents. Due to some crossed wires I’ve been waiting for some info on the tournament I’m supposed too be organising at the York Vapnartak show on Sunday 3rd February. It seems like they’ve been waiting for me to send them something too – facepalm. So we have a week to do the “stuff” and get our entries in, if you have not already done so. OK now I here you ask, “why should I take part?” Well apart from my organisational FUBAR the show is excellent, and is being held at the Knavemire Racecourse in York. Vappa is a superb show, with lots of historical and other traders and demo games, and a vibrant competition area as well. The Blood Red Skies Tournament costs £7 to enter, which gets you in to the convention too. I’m aware that there is nothing more frustrating than getting to a convention then spending your whole day locked away from all the shiny toys, slowly starving, so the BRS tournament will only run for three one hour rounds and is planned to get completed around lunchtime, leaving you ample time for a) lunch and b) checking out all the cool demo and trade stands and c) shopping. The competition itself is going firmly on the Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS) principle, with three rounds of 500 point “Dogfight” Scenario. One squadron each, free choice of Theatre & Doctrine cards except no numbers or Home Advantage, points amended as per the Official FAQ \ Errata . Registration from 9:00am, first game starts 9:30am. I’ll get a more detailed pack out asap. Joining instructions – It looks like this year the payments have to go through the TO so if you are interested you need to paypal me the £7 to ken.natt@ntlworld.com along with your name NO LATER THAN MONDAY 14th JANUARY. Get your name down, send me the ££ and I will endeavour not to cock up further . Warlord will be providing prize support! Come on everyone, get your name down and save me from a red face………….cheers
