**********************************************
The Spirit of Call to Arms
Even though 40k & WHFB by their nature are competitive games, and even though they are being played in a tournament setting, they are still games that are meant to be inclusive and fun for both players. It is particularly easy for someone to neglect taking their opponent's fun into consideration when they play the game, or design an army.

For the purposes of Call to Arms, challenging is good, but overbearing is bad. If you wish to discuss this concept further, please contact the umpire.

Players packs for 40k and WHFB are now available, PM or email me for information. Would be great to see some of the old faces come down, as well as lots of new ones!

Cheers
Hagen
