It has been quiet in the land of Blood, Sand and Steel but not for lack of desire. Time has been at a premium with work and the boy. Work continues in my spare time on several projects including three separate campaigns. Hopefully, things will slow down some when summer arrives and I can get back to posting.
The Birmingham Bunnies last communicated they planned on running Brewer-Sailors as a 800 point FOG Tournament at the end of April/Early May. Unfortunately, the city of Birmingham, Alabama extended the city-wide mask mandate into May which creates issues for one of the venues the Bunnies hoped to use. I have offered up Casa de Anders as an alternate but no news as of yet.
The Bayou Wars Ancients Tournament will be an Open tournament. I will accommodate both ADLG V3 and FOG V3. So what does that mean? If you prefer FOG, send me a list by the deadline and I will match you up with as many FOG opponents as possible. If you prefer ADLG, I will do the same. After the uproar created by even mentioning FOG as an alternative at Bayou Wars, one of the ADLG adherents has already bowed out. Below are the details I posted in several places with information about the Bayou Wars Tournament.
Bayou Wars will be an ADLGish open ancients tournament using V3 rules. However, anyone who would prefer to play FOG v3 can submit a FOG list and I will match you up with as many opponents as possible. The general rules are as follows:
Bayou Wars 29ish will host an Open Ancients Tournament on June 11-13, 2021, with 1 round Friday, 3 rounds Saturday and 1 round Sunday.
