What is the minimum to be viable at Britcon Tim?
And out of interest who are the new ones?

Re: Britcon 2018
6 allows a round-robin and a playoff (or a more relaxed 5 round schedule!), but 8 is a better number for a 6 round event
It’s the 2 Fredericks from Sweden.
The dates for Britcon have t changed in over a decade so holidays are unlikely to be a factor..

Re: Britcon 2018
We're currently sitting at 6 entrants for Britcon, which allows for a viable competition. However, it would be nice to get at least a couple more, so please get your entries in if you fancy a weekend of gaming in Manchester.

The day before the event if we’re on odd numbers, otherwise a little before that if not!

Re: Britcon 2018
probably a bit academic for me really as it doesn't look like it'll fit in for me anyway

Re: Britcon 2018
We're now on 7, with Lynette joining the fray... clearly an 8th would be very welcome (even for part of the weekend)

Re: Britcon 2018
Does artillery on an elephant allow you to fire over friendly troops?

Re: Britcon 2018
The list deadline is fast approaching. It's next Wednesday, 1st August. So far I have 1 (thank you Keith!) and I'be grateful to get the rest ASAP so I can publish the R&R.
Simon - the answer is NO!!! Unless of course the normal conditions for overhead shooting are met. Elephants are big but they are smaller than hills.

Re: Britcon 2018
what about if the elephant is behind the crest of the hill?
Does this count as "trunk down"

Re: Britcon 2018
OK folks, due to unforseen circumstances we're back to 6.
Unless there is anyone else out there lurking for a very late entry, I'm inclined to lock down the numbers at they are with 6 as that makes running the event as a "round robin+1" event a lot cleaner than if we end up at 7
Any lurkers still considering it ?
