But only for himself, between my hungry stomach and picking up Low Roller's Beer tab, plus some minis shopping, I'll be tapped out.

I should be up for this, but as usual not sure if I'll make it in time for breakfast, and need to drive home, so even less likely to get beered up.

Then again, what's the train situation in Swindon like? (hopefully not miles from Mongoose)?

 

[lastbesthope]

The train station is easy, takes about 15 mins on foot.

I'll be arriving there at about 0740 if all goes to plan.

When you leave Swindon Railway station turn left and follow the road until you come to a massive roundabout beside a road overpass.

Turn left at that roundabout, going under the main road, and go straight across the roundabout on the other side of the overpass.

Carryo on up that road, passing a Majestic wine dealer on your right, Mongoose's entry is in a small side alley on the right of that road, directly opposite a Somerfield. The cafe is a bit firther up on the right, just after a crossroads.

A couple of rules queries that still arent clear from the tourney pack before the tourney:

1) Initiative, it sates pretty clearly how it works pre battle but after that are you and your partner basically one fleet or do you have to alternate moving ships (ie I move a ship, one of my opponents moves a ship, I move another ship, one of my opponents move a ship, my partner moves a ship OR does it have to go along the lines of me, opponent 1, partner, opponent 2, me again etc)

2) Scouts, escort, command etc; Can you benefit from traits on your partners ships? (fleet carrier obviously only in the case of fighters that could be carried (ie an EA fleet carrier could potentially recover Starfuries from an ISA fleet?)

Basically do you operate in every respect as one big fleet?

 

[lastbesthope]

Well in a fairly obscure reference to another Mongoose product, 2 of the ships in my fleet will be called the Halsey and the Sladkov.

Anyone who can figure out that reference gets a bonus point.
