You only need a few Gaim fleets to turn up to render that point rather moot.......
Duration should never be an issue - simply set a time limit on each game.

Chaps here are the Tourney rules and amendments
I've tried to take on board something sensible from everyone but also to make it an event.
The Games Store in Aldershot (as far as I know and can predict) is ok with Sunday the 29th November. The entry fee is £3.
I need to check on availability of boards and terrain but if people can bring terrain and 6ft by 4ft black cloths we should be ok.
Swiss system in pairing players, but the first round is "random" pairings. Hope to ensure people who've played each other before will not play twice. If possible first round will not see "friends" play each other, but this depends on numbers.
Starting from 12:00 prompt as it takes time to get things ready.
Game 1 – 5pt Skirmish ISD upto 2232 The Dilgar War 12:30 - 14:00
15 min Break - for food/drink/gloating etc... Please don’t leave the shop
Game 2 – 5pt Raid ISD 2232 -2258 Earth Minbari War & the Babylon Project 14:15 - 16:00
Game 3 – 5pt Battle 2258+ The Shadow War 16:30 - 19:00
Home time 19:15 (latest)
Clarifications;
You do not need to use the same fleet nor race for each game. In fact you could use three different Race/Fleet selections.
To clarify people do not need to use the same race for each game! All you need to ensure is that the ISD of the ships used fit within the date range.
Beam rule to be used
1-2 miss
3-4 one hit
5-6 on hit and roll again
Powers & Principalities rules, pretty much nothing is broken now except hunting packs which Matt has declared removed from P&P. Hunting pack rule is not to be used.
The ship limit is 8 for all games, except Drazi and Drakh which is 10 including huge hangar contents.
I will try to give folks a 15minute warning before “Time” is called. Please do try to have an even number of turns with your opponent.
Scenarios will be given out on the day.
Well thats that then. Please check back again closer to the day to ensure all is well. Thanks in advance if you can confirm now that you'll be there.

There is a slim possibility that I will be in the US at the end of November, but otherwise I will be there.

Geezers,
Haven't been on the forums for a while - A load of the Walsall guys have gone back to playing Fantasy Nonsense! It disgusts me! CTA just doesn't get much of a look in nowadays!
Myself, Funbeast, Centauri Admiral & Starlynx (when he gets his S*!T together) are giving Flames of War a go. Tanks, tanks and more tanks!
Will double check my diary (ie with my missus!) but am reasonable confident I will be able to make the 29th! Someone has to represent the Warlords! Starlynx may be able to make it subject to work...... I'll check with the other guys this week and get them to let TGT know. Funbeast will probably be a difinite no cus he is a girly woss!

We have a 6th attendee - Alex from our club.
Can I clarify the ISD limitations? Game 3 ISD is "2258+"... does this mean I could take anything whose ISD is 2258 or later? Ie. a Liati which has ISD of 2265?
And how about game 2, 2232-2258, could I take any ship which has an ISD anywhere in that range? ie. could I take a Veshatan (1989-2236) or an Omega (2250+)?

Sorry what I should have written was: (and intended with the suggestion but Neil may wish to amend)
Game 1 - ships with an ISD upto and including 2232 The Dilgar War
Game 2 - Ships with a ISD that includes all or part of the period 2233 -2258 Earth Minbari War and the Babylon Project.
Game 3 - 2258+ The Shadow War
so to answer the specific questions:
Game 3 - I would say yes for ease - unless Neil wants to restrict it to say 2261?
Game 2 both ships would be available for the game
does that make any sense?
