What ho chaps!
Just wondering, and it is merely a ponder as I'm trying to keep my chocolate furled brain off other things, as a competition organiser type bod, would there be any interest (at all) in a competition at an event such as Milton Keynes Campaign?

It would only need six players for a five game weekend (three Saturday and two Sunday). Each player brings an army and some terrain, or maybe preset terrain? Each round would be a different scenario from the book.

Or are we all too friendly and civilised? ;)  :P

That one is too far south for me but if such a friendly tournament was up north in a more civilised area I would be in.

Yeah, it's a hike down from Durham for me so a northern tourney would be great too!

I'd be interested subject to dates etc.. When is Campaign?
MK is a bit far but for a weekend it might be viable.

I'd have to either borrow an army or paint very quick as Berkeley Vale club do 28mm on 120by60 bases.

To avoid those who eschew tournaments missing out mqrket it as a bootcamp come open day type thing perhaps?

I like that idea!

Campaign is the second weekend on May each year. So 7th & 8th May 2016 I guess. :)

yes count me in, but again we at Berkeley only do it in 28mm so have to borrow army. Don't do smaller sizes as can't see the figures.
