Serious question about the tournament in March

[Renny]

So, the Klingons On The Starboard Bow tournament is less than a month away. Bearing in mind the current issues with supply of miniatures, is the restriction on using only painted Starline 2500 miniatures still in effect? If I want to play in the tournament with a Klingon fleet but don't have the correct miniatures without my yet-to-be delivered fleet box, what are my options for play on the day?

Good question, as it looks likely no one will have their Klingon fleets before March.

I was going to go to the tournament, but as I don't have any ships yet it's a good thing I haven't booked a train ticket.

A very good question! I too was looking to play Klingons at the tourney, maybe even Kzinti, but with no sight of fleet boxes on the horizon; will we be able to play substitute ships or counters?

I hear that ADB do a nice range in counters, would we be able to use those on the day?

Check the second post from the bottom for your answer
Short answer: yes, 2400 line minis are acceptable for this tourney.

Thank you for pointing that out. That answers my question but doesn't really brighten my day as having invested a lot of money in fleet boxes, i'm not going to then spend more money on buying 2400 scale miniatures to fill in. Looks like this tournament will be a miss for me.

Hi guys,

After some reflection, I think we have to conclude that while mass shipping of the fleet sets is imminent, it is beginning to cut things a bit fine if we want models all pretty and painted up.

Therefore, I believe we will announce as little later this week that the tournament will be set back another 4-6 weeks (but no further!).

May 5th? It's after the local elections and means everyone will have minis, everyone will have painted them, and some other stuff might be out.

I am working on the BH's so that would be me out - But I would think I am in a minority there
