We need to re-start a push for Epic gaming in the states! I'm going to try and talk my group into hosting a Tourny. Terrain may be an issue but space is not.

There's an additional thing to consider. If and when someone try to organize something, then ATTEND.
I've tried twice and people say they'll come. But at game day there's no one there. How fun is that?
It's not fun for me. It's no fun for someone else thinking of organizing. It's no fun for those that actually would like a game. And it's down to YOU to not let it happen.

It is a nice change to see that there were more tournaments this year within driving range for me than I could go to.  Epic is on the increase from my perspective.  IMO most of this is due to the internet and people getting connected better and more conveniently.

It's a dog-eat-dog world, and I've got my Milkbone underwear on.

I'm not sure the size of the country is a big problem. Melbourne, Australia has a fairly large amount of Epic players. We're a pretty big country with a small population. We have 18 coming to Heavy Bolter this Saturday and that's only the ones who can make it.  I think it largely depends on your local gaming scene. If there's a lot of players who regularly play the game (Melbourne is lucky in that we have a very large gamng community) there will be more interest in a tournament.

From a TO's perspective, I think if you can swing pre-registration, you'll see less people ditching on the day as their hard earned cash gives them incentive to turn up.

As an aside, I was able to get a game in this weekend in a GW Store (the new Katy one) and not only did we get a lot of lookers, the store manager is now looking fielding some Orks he acquired recently, but more importantly, "Tau".

Its been my experience that when you play, that invariably, people will get interested and want to know more. Some of those will be interested in playing. When you also explain the cost benefits of Epic, it can be a real win.

I know it's a long way but,

Anyone thought about crossing the pond to play at an EPIC event in the UK?

I was thinking more of a holiday, to the UK, around the time of an EPIC tournament.

I've played in a couple of 'over seas' events (admittedly not quite as far as America) and they are great fun.

Thank you

Two of my sons (Wolves and Orks) and myself (along with the rest of the family) do plan on coming across at some point.

Admittedly, the primary purpose is to make the pilgrimmage to Forgeworld, pay our respects to Jervis and such, but it's not very likely that we'd be bringing 40K armies over as baggage...Epic, on the otherhand, would be quite feasible.

So, yes, I do plan on doing that, but it will probably be a couple of years from now.

@Volstagg: Will be PM'ing you.

Well, we have some tournaments in War Hammer World, Nottingham where Forgeworld can also be found; while many others take place in Mansfield, a small town some 10 miles north of Nottingham, so fairly easy access.

Check out the EPIC-UK website, or with Braveheart, Mephiston or other members of the EPIC-UK group.

But if you do make it, I suggest you may also need to book excess baggage before you fly home
