The Manchester guys have been really crap this year (Me included). Babies, house moves, new business start ups and subsequent lack of cash etc On the plus side you have to look at it as expanding the long term future player base, lol.

I see BOLS are reporting the fall of Maelstrom Games; is the GT's venue now fully financially isolated from any side effects?

Skullric

Yes, the venue is running fine

Best learn how to play Epic gain then!

Thanks!

Skullric

The very reason why I didn't register for this years GT as uncertain what was going on up at Maelstrom/Eye of the Storm. Perhaps a part of the reason why only a handful of players registered for this year's GT.



Great news. I'm over the moon that the Eye of the Storm is still going strong. Will be back for the Mansfield events in 2013

From talking to regulars I think its a combination of unfortunate dates - at least 8 more would have come but wedding anniversaries, family birthdays, family meals, babies, snake shows etc

We've sold more tickets than any year previously in 2012

folks, first off massive apologies. I searched high & low last night but, despite stashing them somewhere safe, have lost my train tickets for the event & can't afford to replace them . lifes been pretty turbulent these past couple of months and I've moved house 3 times so I how people can understand.

it's real shame to have to say I can't attend but please feel free to give the ticket a way for free last minute or, failing that, get everyone a pint on me during the end of year agm

Morning guys,

Gutted I can't be there with you - good luck all!

Cheers
Reedar

Good luck everyone. Next year's revised date means that I'll be there.

I dropped in to do a bit of trading and show the boy what his daddy is doing every thursday night, IIRC round 1 matchups were:

Steve54 vs Jez (4-0 to Steve)
MikeT vs Skullric (4-0 to Mike)
Mephiston vs Mintroll (think Mephiston won, not sure of final score)
Kyrt vs Andy Harris (IIRC flat draw)
Dptdexys vs Mark Preston (2-0 win to dptdexys in turn 4)

I also snapped some army pics, which I'll edit in here as soon as they're done uploading

Special thanks to Steve and Jez for tolerating myself and letting my son play with their dice and other bits, special apologies to Mephiston for the salt in his coffee.... the child will be disciplined!!
