Warfare 2014 FOG competitions

[TimChild]

Hi All,

I have had a number of people contact me looking for details of the FOG competitions for Warfare this year. It is there on the competitions page of the WAR website, but you can easily skim over it (or not look down far enough).

Please can you get your entries in a.s.a.p., both because Steve Thompson is threatening to pull any competition/theme not at least half-full by 1 October, to make space for other more popular themes, and of course in last years we've also filled up and had to turn people away - so get your booking in now to avoid either of those diverse fates!!

The link on the page is found by scrolling down to the section headed:

"DOWNLOAD PDF BELOW FOR MORE DATAILS OF FOG AND DBMM

/company/67/395/files/Warfare%202014%20FOG%20and%20DBMM%20competitions%20(1).docx"

Or, even easier, here they are!!

OK.

I've tried to login to the site, but i've forgotten my password. When I click the forgotten password link I get "mail send failed"

I can't register normally as my email address has already been used.

I seem to remember having a world of difficulty last year with the rubbish website as well.

Tell me what period you want Dave and I'll enter for you.

Hi all,

I am having an "issue" with my usual email address that so many of you have used for so many years now. There is a new gmail account set up - please see the WAR website for the tournament rules (click on the "Warfare competitions" tag on the right, then the competition rules are under the red banner "Final rules pack and Tims new e-mail address here").

Thanks all - please can you warn anyone you know who doesn't frequent these forums, as emails sent to my Tiscali account are, I think, just building up with no message back to the sender to tell them that I haven't received it!

Just a query - its doesn't say so but are allies restricted to those in the list for fog Empires of the dragon etc - under DBM it specifically excludes allies outside the list but not under the fog help - unless my weekend in paris battling the French FOG players has adled my brain more than I thought?

[petedalby]

In most FoG competitions the ally has to be from a permitted list. Since lists have to be submitted by 1st Nov I suggest you email Tim direct with your query.

[TimChild]

On the other hand, I am here so can answer the question so everyone can see. The competition rule isn't restricting the allies to only those permitted as a main army, so any legal ally for legal main army will be OK. FWIW, I have already checked and approved one such list.

[petedalby]

Excellent - thanks Tim!

[lakedaimon]

Cheers Tim - so I can get knights after all <g>

I've tried the Warfare competitions tag on the right only to find there isn't one on the W.A.R. website

I tried the warfare competitions tag on the left. There is indeed some red writing saying "Final rules pack and Tims new e-mail address here with details of where to send army lists". I click on the bit below which says "/company/67/395/files/Warfare%202014%20FoG%20rules%20(1)(1).pdf". Either nothing happens, or it sends me to a weird location with no content, and no email address.

It's entirely possible that Mr Dementia has come to lunch a little earlier than expected, but I can't for the life of me find the rules pack or your email address Tim. So am a bit stumped at the moment as to a way to get my army list to you.

[Robert241167]

It worked for me Graham, I'll send it to you.

I'm impressed if you found some.

Well done on your French foray though David - an excellent result.

List has gone, I feel this one is somewhat more bonkers than usual

Cheers Pete - yes it was a delightful tournament at Rueill-Malmaison, with much wine and good food - and some very good french players.

The Early Hungarians (phil's reccomendations) and they were outstanding - and my first tournament win solo . In fact, I felt quite free and easy with the Hungarians and perhaps I need to go to more cavalry based armies in future <g>

Steady on David!
