============

I had made attempt to contact Asmodee Editions to run events as an official tournament, hoping I can reward players with "Primae Materiae".

The round format is copied from a recent Legend of Five Ring tournament that I ran at Fanboy3; also having play warmachine and infinity.
45mins should be enough.

Actual rounds format will be base on numbers turn up on the day, but for event running the purpose, a format has to set for now.

A set of cards in English will be in place for each table for reference.

No set number of entries. But I would appreciate if players could inform me if they are coming. (For setting up tables and waiting for late arrivals)

Prize: Pending of number of entry, I am sure we can at least arrange some shop credit or for more Hell Dorado figure.

============

Event is set...  see Fanboy3 website... http://www.take2theweb.com/pub/fb3/db.html

And we have 6 confrimed entries already.

If you can arrive a little bit early, please do so you can get familiar with the rules and missions.

Hurrah!

A few questions though I`m afraid.  Not being funny but its easiest to get these sorted so people don`t complain afterwards.

Is 45mins enough for a game ?  It may well be, havn`t tried it yet.  How come you`re doing a top 4 split ?  Might be better to do five games in a swiss system then four games with some getting six.  What scenario are we using for this ?  A kill `em all thing or are there some scenarios ?  What are we doing about cards since they don`t exist ?  I`m guessing printouts of stats would be good.  Is there a limited number of places ?

To those who`ve never been to Fanboy, its close to Piccadilly Gardens in Manchester which is easily travelled to from both Piccadilly and Victoria train stations.  T`is a friendly shop with a fair few tables for gaming.  Can`t comment on the prizes for this one, but at the Confrontation and Infinity tournaments I`ve been to in the past you tended to get store credit for more lovely figures.  I`d recommend it as a shop even if there wasn`t a tournament on.

that should be more than enough notice for me to take the day off work and come along me thinks. count me in so far

as for cards asmodee are releasing the translated versions soon but whether its before this event remains to be seen. i think having the french cards and a translated ability sheet would do at a pinch, also somebody bring a copy or two of the game rules myself like dogmeat is yet to play this and im not too likely to play before this tourney so game times may take a bit longer as we get used to things.

is scenarios wise at this stage as proberly dont have the collective experience to master the rules yet let alone think about victory conditions all too much. besides doesnt the tables have to be a certain size divided up into nine 10' by 10' squares to play scenarios??

either way im in and i'll be bringing my fully painted demons

to close after Salute for me .... so I won't be able to  make it ....

Remember "Kill Everything" is a scenario too.  I just feel that certain armies might benefit a little too much from a slaughter only environment.

I have done a rough translation of the french tournament rules. Might be interesting to use these to stop players just bringing kill-all lists.  I`d definately say to ignore the wierd terrain rules for now as there arn`t any official translations for `em.  I`d just go for the "couple of hills and a building or two" thing. At least until people start making their own terrain pieces. 

I`ll have a print happy session at work this week and make sure I`ve got a few spare rulebooks and cheat sheets.
