Britcon is now less than 2 weeks away, and with a record-breaking 337 players taking part so far (over 100 of whom are staying with us onsite), and almost 40 traders, demo games and event sponsors at the FREE-to-enter Britcon Trade Show (which also features a Bring & Buy, and a Free Play gaming room) we're looking well set for a cracking debut outing this year in Nottingham, at the Nottingham Trent University Conference Centre in the heart of the Lead Belt. For the DBA event we've currently got the following high quality, stylish and good looking bunch of players signed up, and with more space than we can shake a stick at, any additional players (ideally signing up in the right quantities and bundles to give Simon an even number!) would still be exceedingly welcome: Denis Grey Lee Storey Martin Smith Stephen Finn John Saunders William Whyler Peter Davis Rob Rush Paul Murgatroyd Phil Steele Ken Gordon Colin Alcock Simon Wilson Details are at : www.bhgs.org.uk/britcon---periods-being-played.html

I hope someone is going to arrange for Martin Smith to meet his alter-ego, the mild-mannered Keith Martin-Smith, who is taking part in the ADLG competition at Britcon.

Army choices. One of the armies listed (maybe two) seem top dogs, but I don’t have the models, so they’re a no go for me. From the rest : It’s a toss up between ‘in with a chance’ v ‘never fielded this one before’ v ‘bit of a giggle, and left field’…..still no idea which. Have to decide before Thursday, I guess 🙃

I thought that Classical Indian looks quite good in this theme - but there is a fine line between top dog and just plain ordinary dog isn't there!
Is anyone staying in Nottingham on Friday night and likely to be searching for a curry?
Cheers
Stephen

My choice was based purely on some figures I’ve wanted to paint for some time that were in the lead pile. Don’t think it will be a top dog simply due to my dice rolling skills!

Traveling to this one as not far enough away to justify staying. Def staying away Fri night for the September Nellie off.

Yes it impressed a few people that day.
It impressed Baldie when he beat it with his Bosporan's (he doesn't lose as often as he likes to make out!) It impressed Paul M about how rubbish it was, when he had to play with it, And it mentally scarred Mark S with it's amazing dice luck in the final game, which I think has used up it's lifetime of luck.
