is a Scottish ACTA tourney possible?

[Blu_Majik]

i'd think about running one if i thought we could get about eight or so players.

i know there are a few scattered about but will folk travel to play in Glasgow?

 

[Sigmar357]

I would having live there. Just most of the players are from england but shouldnt be to hard for traveling.

 

[Blu_Majik]

well its a toe in the water just now, but i'm sure we could get somewhere to play.

i'd maybe need a hand with a couple of tables and scenery ect.

i'd really like to do a prize for winner, runner up and best army but that would maybe depend on the venue cost.

 

[Sigmar357]

Yea, i'd be willing to help and stuff. Need loads of black cloth, terrian.

I was thinking theres a church hall in maryland thats a club i know is called G3 you proberly know about it. That would seem a good place unless you can find some where better mayby in the town centre or such?.

But i believe its do able.

 

[Blu_Majik]

i know G3 well, i've not been up there for a while but if everone was local and could make it on a tuesday night i'm sure they would be up for it.

static games in glasgow also have a few table and would maybe be an option for a Saturday or Sunday.

 

[Sigmar357]

Yea, sounds good i havent been up to g3 for ages myself sometime like last year. We'll see whos up for it.

 

[Frohike]

Id be up for that, the guys I play against are mostly downsouth etc these days so havent played much recently. Raring for a game!

 

[Blu_Majik]

yeah, it would be good if we could get all the scottish players together one time at least.

anyone else?

 

[big-gazza]

Hi,
given enough notice i'd give it a go.

I'd certainly be interested as long as I'm not on nightshift or backshift that week. With enough notice I could schedule a day off.

If needed, I could bring along enough terrain for a pair of tables (inc Starmap-style 6x4 sheets).

 

[Blu_Majik]

looks like we have a few shift workers!

what i may do is forward a few dates to see which suits the most people.

You could have a haggis for the person who gets the least points in the whole tournament to eat. :wink: Now there's incentive to win.

Seriously though, I hope it goes well.

 

[DaemonBorn]

I know three players from Edinburgh, who given enough notice would be interested.

 

[Sigmar357]

I count 8-9 so far which is a good start.

 

[Blu_Majik]

yeah, maybe now i could have a look at venues.

I was thinking of attempting to run a tourney at Conpulsion this year, but that kind of got scuppered by conflicting dates.

I'd certainly be up for a tourney.

As to venue, if your willing to consider Edinburgh, the Edinburgh League of Gamers [elg] have a good facility to host and they have run regular warhammer events at their site (pm me if you want contact details). Though Glasgow is easy enough to get to.

 

[Sigmar357]

If that the Edinburgh League of Gamers is a good place then i dont mind traveling but no idea about others.

something like Compulsion would be good for it acctually, got through to that a couple of years ago, good day out that.

anyone know any upcoming convesions that will have us?

 

[Silvereye]

Conpulsion is usually a good laugh. This its the easter weekend though.

If you are looking at approaching them, Oscar is the name of the chap sorting out the wargames mob.

Aside from that I don't know of other conventions, though there are more regional clubs scattered around Scotland. You could also try approaching any of the university based gaming societies as well.

 

[Blu_Majik]

popped mt head into Static games in Glasgow today, they can do a small tourney of about eight people. i'll have to confirm with the lad who owns the store to see what days i can get but it could be a goer.
