Mini Themes, 15mm
Noon - 11 PM. 650 points; 3
hour rounds. Round 1: Noon;
Round 2: 4 PM; Round 3: 8 PM.
We will be trying a new event design this year in an effort to create more
historical matchups, while retaining the flexibility of an open event.
Each player should bring an army list from any published FoG army
list book. Prior to the start
of the event the players will be broken down into pools of 4-8 armies,
matched as closely as possible by date and region.
Each round will be matched up within the pools.
Secondary consideration will be given to separating players from the
same club. If enough 25mm
players attend, that event will also be run but such players should bring a
backup 15mm army.
