[wouster7]

This year we have a Venue with limited space so there will be caps on the numbers per Tournament.

Warhammer Fantasy and 40K will have a cap of 36 players each.

Player cap for the other tournaments TBA as information comes to hand.

*** NB: All cityguard members will get the $5 discount on early registration. If you're not a member it's a good opportunity to join up today***

[Big D]

As Guardcon is traditionally the Fantasy equivalent of Fields of Blood (ie: NZ GT) shouldn't Fantasy get preference over 40k (and everything else) numbers-wise?

[NeckFace]

probably still will

32 players and that means 16 teams and 8 tables.  not much room to interfere with fantasy's preference

Hello Cityguardspeop le,

Flames of War at Guardcon 2011 will be Late War @ 1750 points.
Most likely we will be on the stage and if we get the numbers also in the auditorium.

Great preparation for the Battlefront Latewar Grand Tournament in November in Auckland, which will also be 1750 points LW.

[Lazarus]

We are going to try and turn guard con into equal 40k and WFB

[wouster7]

Accommodation:

It will be busy around tournament time due to the RWC.
All those intending to make a trip up to Auckland for the premier events at GuardCon and needing a place to stay I will get in contact with the Hotel right next to the venue. If there is enough interest for accommodation, I'll see if we can get a good rate for your rooms. The sooner you register your interest the better and I'll see what I can come up with for cheaper rates.

[Rasputin]

Looks like I am out for all events ....... oh well. Have fun everybody

[wouster7]

Almost half the places in 40K have been taken
I haven't sent out any information due to the fact that we have CanOpener this weekend and TS4 is running it's reminders and don't want to steal their thunder. I will be sending out all the relevant emails to all the people on my mailing list this weekend.

[wouster7]

Accommodation is fast filling up but heres 3 budget options if you're just up for the gaming.

The Tournament venue is directly on bus routes from the city.

[NeckFace]

um, because its more expensive to register as a team of 2 than it is to register solo can we just register solo and declare teams on the day?....

Only if you're in the enviable position of both being City guard members. I leave it up to your discretion Ghengis.

[NeckFace]

hah, i have to converse with my partner and i'll get back to you - looking forward to this Phil, good-o

by the way, did you get the link for the full-sized FoB logo?  I sent it through a week ago, but maybe it got junk-mailed.

[Vulkaan]

FYi my email says I have until 10th July for my early registration

Yup, early registrations are extended as to make it fair for everyone. We haven't plugged this tournament until now as we were waiting for other tournaments so as not to steal their thunder.

[wouster7]

Prizes up for grabs in the GuardCon raffle.






Dr Who Sonic screwdriver.

[daemion]

got any non gw stuff for the raffle?

[Meat]

hey all,
2 spots left in the Flames of War Latewar 1750 point tournament! Places going fast!
Great player response from around Auckland and reaching out to Tauranga, should be a good time.

Terrain will be the new and improved Battlefront terrain and boards and BF also steps up with their always generous prize support.

email: guardconflames@gmail.com with interest or questions ASAP!

Thanks to Phil and CityGuard for what looks to be another excellent convention, packed to the rafters!

[wouster7]

got any non gw stuff for the raffle?

I will add Privateer prizes to the pool as soon as we get more interest in the Warmachine tournament. Currently we have very strong numbers in WFB, 40K and FoW.
Keep an eye on this thread and depending on numbers in each tournament Prizes will be added  dependent on interest in each system.

Great response to the tournament so far from the War gaming community. It looks to be another packed and exciting tournament hosted by the City Guard. If you have any friends in your gaming group who would like to attend please get them to email me to register.

Pack is almost done ~95%. I'm factoring in restrictions for the latest army book and then it will be released, e.t.a this weekend

News:

Advertising has been distributed to retailers today and if anyone visits a retailer apart from the most obvious ones, let me know I've got posters for them. The 'GuardCon Shield' has been organised and will be the perpetual Trophy from this year on. I have also organised the Medals for all the games systems as well this arvo.

The Interclub trophy 'The Bombay Cup' will be on offer during GuardCon decided between the Tronhammer boy's versus Team Guard. It'll be decided over 4 match ups so get grudging guys for the first round.

[wouster7]
