Well I apologise to any of those of English birth who took offence to
the comment – it was made ‘in jest’ (to emphasise that Danny’s
suggestion you come over for the RWC would encompass being in NZ for
6+ months) and hence the ;-p (winking tongue-poking) smiley to
indicate such.

FWIW I am particularly proud of my Irish, Scottish, AND ENGLISH
ancestry, and have several ‘English’ friends, etc, etc…

On behalf of the WIC bid team, could we please leave out the purile racial
stereotyping?
This WIC will be measured as a success by the travelling players coming to NZ
and having a great time both on the table and socially with the domestic
players. We don't need any of that '60's/70's "whining Pom" s**t.
Be aware that several of the most likely travellers also lurk on this and other
lists.

It was at Lichfield Street about 1991-92 about the time Wooten left - I can
remember seeing it somewhere as that's when I started going to the club
regularly after previously only going once a month or every 2 months - I
think it was still there when I took over as Secretary in 1993/94 although
looking pretty ratty... Can't remember what happened with it when we moved
to Cashel Street Chambers in mid-94 (or if we still had it by that stage)...

Someone like Mark Ottley who was on the committee with me might remember?

More to the point, what ever happened to the southern reb CWS flag (shown in the

Of course I 'recognise' him (well the face anyway) - but buggered if I

I bought an old 50cc motorbike from him around then that I only got rid of a

If I recall correctly that Japs in Burma WW2 game mentioned had near wall to
wall Chi-Ha's in the village and a horde of M3 Stuarts & M3 Lees on the
other side of the paddy fields - which were quite well done for their day
(first time I saw transparent plastic (cut up shirt box lids) used to
represent water I think......

Hi everyone,

CityGuard will be hosting our first official Bring and Buy event in November
on Sunday 22nd. This is where everyone can come along, bring out all their
random
miniatures/games/bits and pieces they wont ever need and try and flog them
off/swap them/trade them/just show them off.

We will set up some tables just for this, probably down the end of the hall
where I usually have the snacks. I'll bring along some post it notes and
pens, you write little notes on your stuff, like who is the seller, and how
much you want for it... and leave your goodies displayed on the table...

Then people come along, look at all the awesome goodies on the tables, ask
me who (insert name) is, I point you out to them and you sell/swap/trade
your stuff...

I've had so much fun coming along to AWC ones I figured I'd try one at
CityGuard.

Some changes from my first post a while back. We are open longer, until
7pm...

The 40K folks are organising a special 500pts 40K in 40mins event. The
Fantasy folks are organising a special 500pts baby league event. The
Warmachine folk are organising a special 15pt event. All these are mentioned
in the CityGuard Forums here
http://www.cityguard.co.nz/forum/index.php/board,2.0.html

Anyone wanting to organise a game of some sort or to join up with the
special events, it's just $3 to play for the afternoon regardless of whether
you are a member or not... just for 1 day only :)

We will be running a BBQ around 5:30pm with sausages for sale. You can BYO
BBQ food if you want to cook your own. We will have some drinks and snacks
available for sale as well. We are classing this as our end of year sort of
event, so come along to catch up with folks.

You are all welcome to come and visit. CityGuard meets in the Freeman's Bay
Communiyt Hall, Hepburn Road, just down the road from Ponsonby road. We meet
from 1pm to 7pm, so anytime in between would be awesome.

Any questions?

Regards,
Karen

P.S. I will be available to take pre-registrations for BattleCry during the
event as well.

several loan armies will be available on request.

Armies will be composed of 24 army points. Players are not limited to army lists
printed in the rules book, but armies must obey the element composition rules.
Playing surfaces with pre-set terrain will be provided, but players are expected
to bring Strongholds for their armies. Each player retains the same army and

Terrain

1. Games will be played on a 3'x3' playing area.
2. Attacker defender will be determined in the usual way. Terrain set-up is
defined on page 13 of the rule-book, conforming with the terrain rules as
printed on pages 11 and 12 of the rule book. Players will provide their own
terrain.
3. The attacker then uses the rules as written to determine the
attacker/defender baselines.
4. Game set up and play then proceeds as outlined in the rules book.

Tournament Etiquette

1. The defender will define troop types prior to the attacker setting up. The
attacker will define troop types once set up is complete.
2. It is good manners not to take back a move once an element has been moved. If
doubt arises about where an element was before it was moved, and the umpire is
called, a die roll will be used to settle the disagreement.
3. Pre-measuring is allowed.
4. In the words of the organizers of the 2008 TAGCon DBA tournament: "We are
confident that all (HotT) players will be polite and play for the sheer
enjoyment of killing, burning and pillaging rather than pin-pricking." You are
the commander of a fantasy army intent on world domination!!!! Get in their and
fight for it!!!!

Prizes:
The tournament winner will receive the HotT 'Emperor Dragon' Trophy, and a small
prize pack.

Prizes will also be awarded for best-presented army, and most memorable game
incident, both determined by player nomination.
