Club News and Upcoming Tournaments

Hey Guys,

The Paths of Glory Tournament is just around the corner and there are still a few spots remaining. Pass the word about and if you or someone you know wants to register, please drop me a line by e mail.  The Tournament Pack can be downloaded at:  https://sites.google.com/site/petminisoldiers/

I would appreciate if you could send me by e mail your army lists no later than 11 or 12 Apr so I can do some of the setup work prior to early morning on the 13th.  For those of you using Easy Army this should be no problem.  For those locals who don't use Easy Army I'll be in the shop this coming Sunday and Tuesday and will be setting up tables on the afternoon of the 12th.  For the out-of-towners, if you're not using Easy Army, I will accept your army list the morning of the 13th.

For those that are interested, there will be some side bar discussions on upcoming tournaments. We hope to decide on a Jun date for our EW tournament and I know the DDs have something on the go on the 3rd of May in Gatineau.

I'll need some help setting up tables so if any locals are available please let me know.  we''ll start work at 1300 hrs at the shop on the 12th.  This usually doesn't take anymore than an hour.
For those who don't know, Gary has had some good news in that his tenant will be moving out sometime in the next two to three months and the wargaming space will be expanding.  Brad is already devising plans to run a campaign.

Looking forward to seeing all of you at the tournament.  No doubt the DDs will be keen to get rid of that nasty old "booby trophy'.  Cheers

Battle Cry 2013 - Change to Army Points

All,

As Tournament organizor I've made the executive decision to revamp the points for the Battle Cry (LW) Tournament on 17 Nov 13  to 1650 from what was previously announced.  This will align us with the Battlefront 2014 tournament season army point system announced by Battlefront last week.  Cheers.
