Just to be clear, Britcon FoGR is ANY army from ANY book, yes?

Given where we currently are I think the end of March or sometime in early April may be realistic - but no guarantees.

Re: Britcon 2017 - 11-13 August
So,
whose in for FoGR at Britcon?
looks like it may be the last year of FoGR, seeing the way the the last few comps have gone.

Re: Britcon 2017 - 11-13 August
Currently on 4, pretty much exactly the same as last year at this time.
Overall we're 10% up y-o-y across all periods so far

Re: Britcon 2017 - 11-13 August

Need to decide what extra miniatures to paint.

Re: Britcon 2017 - 11-13 August
Up to 5 now, so looking set to be a more than viable event, and with more than 20 people keen to play at Derby there certainly seems to be a positive groundswell at the moment.
I'd be inclined to go with the revisions - assuming they are finalised and published soon. I guess we need a cutoff date though - end of June?

Re: Britcon 2017 - 11-13 August
I think that's the plan - it's just a question of which ones!

Re: Britcon 2017 - 11-13 August
What about the one where Keith rolls badly for every dice?
Re: Britcon 2017 - 11-13 August
Don't need amendments for that! I think the ones giving a built in penalty to Aussies are the best...
Although with Simon's submarining it would improve his chances!
