Apologies for the delay but here is the rules pack for this event, hope to see you all there.
I’m excited to be able to announce that Dice and Decks Gaming Club, Ross-on-Wye will be running a Warmachine/Hordes tournament as part of the chairty fund raising day we’re putting on.
The date is Saturday July 16th and the venue is Ross-on-Wye Scout HQ which is next to the Swimming Pool, postcode HR9 7DB. Registration will start at 9:30, first games start at 10:00 and the presentations should start around 5:30.
We are raising money for the Air Ambulance charity, for those unfamiliar with their work they provide emergency transport to hospitals for seriously ill or injured people and in cases when time is of the essence they have saved many lives. Recently the service they provide (with no funding except donations) saved the life of the father of one of our club members so we have adopted them as our club charity and hope to bring people to together to play games, have fun and raise money for a worthy cause.
The Warmachine/Hordes tournament will be a 4 round Steamroller tournament, 25 points and you can bring 2 lists if you wish. Full details will follow soon.
The cost will be £10 and we would like to take payment in advance by paypal, please email/pm and I’ll send you the payment address. The event will be capped at 16 players and will be first come first served.
On the day we will be running some other events such as a Magic the GatheringM12 release tournament and a chairty auction, details of the auction items will follow.
