Thanks - be good to see you guys - sadly Andrew (Digger) is unable to make it 
and McKickaha now unlikely
Everyone else o?
Ok where I think we are at present:
Saturday 9th April
Attendees
Adrian H
Axolos and friend/ observer/official photographer (? – I have a camera he could use)
Burger
Centauri Admiral
Grand Master Hiff
Greg (*)
Kenny(*)
Kickaha
Paul (Clanger) (*)
Shut Up Hippie
Star Lynx
Alex - Maybe
Katadder - maybe
(organiser / player stand in) Da Boss (*)
Will try and match up first couple of rounds a member of Gregs Crew marked with (*) to vistors then Swiss Chess format for 3rd and 4th games. Hiff and Kickaha are playing each other 1st round – let me know if any other grudge matches.
Proposed draft Format
Shadows and Vorlons may not take part in Scenarios one or four
10am -10.30am
Sign-in - time to say hi, taunt opponents - make rash statements of victory
10.30am Game 1 (5 pt Skirmish)
The Dilgar War - ISD ships of 2232 or before (*)Max 8 ships (10 Drazi)
(*)following ships are also included due to fluff, coolness etc
Early EA: Avenger
Narn: Sho'Kos, Thentus, T'Loth, T'Rakk,
Abbai: Bimith,
Brakiri: Avioki, Batrado, Falkosi, Ikorta,
Drazi: Warbird,
noon - lunch break
12.30 - 2pm,
Game 2 (3 pt Raid, minimum 1 raid ship (or higher PL)
Rise of Earth and the Earth-Minbari War - ISD 2248 or before (*)(terrain, no hyperspace), Max 8 ships (10 Drazi)
One Raid level or higher ship gets CQ 5
Ship exceptions as above
2.15pm - 3.45pm - Game 3 (3pt Battle)
The Time of War - ISD 2261 or before
Assassination - both players have a target ship - highest PL ship of opponent declared at the start of the Game. (One other ship of their fleet may start in hyperspace, terrain)
One Battle or higher gets CQ 5
Max 8 ships (10 Drazi)
4pm - 5.45pm - Game 4
A New Age, ISD must extend beyond 2261
(5pt Battle, must have at least one War(or higher) ship - this ship may not start in hyperspace)
Annihilation (One ship may start in hyperspace, terrain)
Max 10 ships (12 Drazi)
Clarification - your highest level ship must be on the table at the start-but get CQ 5
6pm - awards, final taunting and depart
All P+P rules amendments apply with the exception of Centauri Hunting Packs. (if you don't have this supplement please PM me)
Triggy's Beam system in operation (replacing the standard:
1-2 miss
3-4 hit
5-6 hit and roll again on this table
General info
Fleets and races may be different for each game - just declare at the start of the tourney (and give a list to me).
Only official ship stats are to be used (but P+P revisions used)
Proxy ships are permissible but make sure opponents are fully aware of what they are at the start. I have a very "large" collection of ships please let me know if you want to borrow anything.
All ships have CQ 4 modified as normal by fleet rules/ abilities except as noted
The Shadows obey scenario rules for number of ships they are allowed to deploy in hyperspace
Lastly I have debated Adrian’s worthy suggestion re fleets with the other club members and we have no major objections. As a reminder:
The suggestions I made the last time I asked about this were that (a) both players in a game need to agree that one or both secondary fleets can be used, if either player says "no" then both use their first choices; and (b) if second choices are allowed but the players can't agree on which fleets to use inside a reasonable time limit, they're both forced to use first choices. That breaks the deadlock where, for example, player 1 has Earth and player 2 has Minbari, so player 1 wants to switch to Shadows, so player 2 wants to switch to Vorlons, so player 1 wants to go back to Earth, and so on... Five minutes later the decision is made for them and it will be Earth vs. Minbari. So if Da Boss allows second choices and you're facing me, you get to use your second choice, but if you're facing Burger you don't. (Unless his one fleet is Drazi and your first choice is Shadows
Other matters:
For those who have been before you will know that my home is a little off the beaten track and I have arranged lunch - something simple like chilie and rice but might need to juggle times a little.... If you have odd food requirements (like me) let me know in advance and i'll see what I can do (or bring something)
Tea and coffee will be served through the day, soft drinks also freely available.

look forward to welcoming you

) and leaving in the evening - so no staying over night, Adrian. I suppose we will be getting a taxi from the Kettering train station.
