Southern League FOGR 2017 at Southampton
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2017 4:49 pm
I am pleased to announce that we will be running the Southampton round of the Southern League again this year on Sunday September 24th. Pretty much the same format as last year but with a change of venue due to availability issues with last years site.
• FOGR 15mm 800 points
• Format - 3 x 2hr 30min games on pre-set terrain with first game commencing 09.00
• Period - Early 16th century Europe, Date 1494-1555 Maximillian Imperial, Italian Wars French, Trastamaran Spanish, Italian States, Italian Wars Venetian, German States, Early Henrician English, Later Henrician English, Scottish, Border Reivers, Irish, Anglo Irish, Peasant Wars (Not Hungarian), Caroline Imperialists, North African States and Early Ottoman Turkish
• Venue: Copythorne Parish Hall, Pollards Moor Road, Copythorne, Southampton SO40 2NZ (circa 5 mins from M27 Junction 1with plentiful free onsite parking and no GPS issues I hope!)
• Fee for the day is £15 plus £1 for tea, coffee and biscuits.
Closing date for entries will be Friday 8th September 2017 and Alasdair Harley has very kindly agreed to list check once again so lists to him please: alasdairharley@hotmail.com
Not entirely sure yet what to do about the potential changes to the rules as this early period seems to work well enough as is, with the exception of artillery. So, I propose waiting for more feedback over the summer before deciding on what changes to incorporate but feel free to get some early thoughts in about this or any other changes that would benefit. Finalised competition rules will be published no later than the end of July.
One request after last year is to please check your diaries before committing to this event. You always get one or two cancellations due to ill-health, for example, but last year we came very close to abandoning the event quite late on due to almost thirty percent of the original participants dropping out. We can accommodate 24 players at the new site.
