Only two tickets left. Sudden surge of interest or have the numbers been cut? I have asked Tim for an update and will report back. Simon

I know of one more person who is hoping to attend if the paint dries in time.

Currently there are 10 players signed up with two places left. Tim has had to reduce the overall space for us to cater for extra demand from other games. Quite reasonable given we are only a week away.
So - two places left and if anyone is interested they had better sign up quick on the Britcon site!
Cheers Simon

Now sold out according to the website. My mistake. One place left. You were right but I asked Tim to give us an extra place. That means we can have 12 players and an organiser (me) if required, which I find easier than being a player and organiser. So room for one more and a 50% increase on last year's numbers. Hopefully the paint has dried for the extra person and they can now enter, Simon

I can only see 8 names on the players list, so who's coming incognito?
Quite happy for Simon to play as, to my knowledge, he's never shown the 'bad form' of actually winning his own competition!

Great day out. Good games, tough with so many similar armies.
Picked up a DBA Persian starter set. Thought I should have em to face my Greek types for ages but never got round to it.

I have to play to the crowd a little.
Some great games played as ever the polyhedral random number generators were assuming the role as army mastermind.

Thanks for a great day everyone. Thoroughly enjoyed myself with a great crew. No SoA games as Simon and I never crossed swords (well done to Phil for preserving with the M6). Thanks again Simon for organising everything, hopefully will be able to make Bakewell in October Tim
