For anyone not receiving recent email sent out relating to Alton next Saturday, here’s a repeat of the info-
A little update on the forthcoming Alton DBA, “My Own Worst Enemy’, 23rd October.
Venue - usual, ie All Saints Church Hall , 4 Queens Rd., GU34 1 HU
TIMINGS- registration is from 09:30, with first game ASAP from 10 a.m..
Presentations planned for around 4:30pm, to clear the venue by 5 pm.
*** Please be prompt - latecomers risk conceding the first match, and their opponent will automatically be awarded a winner’s 20 points ***
We will aim for SIX rounds, matchups drawn at random before round 1.
You will use your own army in rounds 1, 3, and 5, and your opponent’s army in rounds 2, 4 and 6.
The defender MUST attempt to place the terrain items provided with the army.
Please bring the following:-
a PACKED LUNCH (to avoid lengthy lunch-break, and allow max time per game). Your chosen army, its camp + camp followers. a FIXED SET of ‘legal’ terrain to be placed by your army whenever it defends. If possible, a printed or hand-written sheet with your army’s name, DBA number and date, aggression level and topography type, list of provided elements and list of provided terrain pieces (to assist your opponent when the army is used by them, in three of the six games). Spare sheets will be available, if needed. Rules, measures, dice etc.
Any questions, please ask, either by email or on the forums.
If there is any doubt as to your ability to attend please advise at the earliest opportunity, so a replacement can be found from reserves.
**************************************************************************************
LEAGUE :- This will be the last event of the SoA UK DBA League, encompassing 2019 to 2021, deferred due to the pandemic. Bill is hoping to tot up the final scores, and presentations may be possible at the end of the tournament.
COVID:- Covid related stuff - the ‘plan’ is to have a few windows open for ventilation, so it may be a tad cooler than usual….dress accordingly please. There will be hand sanitiser available, and I will go around doing a bit of ‘Mrs Mop’ disinfecting the evening before. Otherwise….sensible precautions please - (eg hand shakes only if it’s mutual 😳 )…..**If you have suspected Covid symptoms please do the decent thing and cry off**. Advising me in advance would be much appreciated 07981 221687.
‘NO-SHOWS’:- Anyone thinking they cannot attend for ANY reason, please advise at your earliest convenience- there are a couple of ‘standbys’ in reserve, but both players need notice.
PARKING:- only on the gravelled area, past the hall door, please. *Double park if necessary*.
BRING AND BUY (?) :- Come with ‘Bring and Buy’ bits n pieces if you wish to do so.
