Depends where they're holding it. As a city, Aukland's pretty spread out. It's a fair old bus ride from the centre to the outskirts.

Battlecry is normally held in the upper part of town at the University in the Grafton area by the hospital.  In NZ terms its one of the smaller events and usually caters for local crowd with a focus on a small EW FOW event, probably some 40k and WFB and maybe a smattering of other games all up if they get 40-50 people they will think they are doing well.

If your still in NZ at Easter our main Nationals is being held in Christchurch that along with Call to Arms in Wellington in August are our two main events with 150 or so people mostly of whom are competing.

PS: If your in the deep south travelling in the Mt Cook/Waitaki Valley area drop me a line at rexhurley@paradise.net.nz as I can show you around potentially get you some good rates at our local motor camp (I'm assuming your travelling in a mobile camper) show you some sights and share some home cooked meals etc for a break from travel fare.  Can also arrange some hunting, and trout/salmon fishing too dependent on season.

It will probably be very 15mm tank oriented.
