Tartan Skirmish Radio *will* be fighting for out Honour! WITH A U! Was waiting for DavidKerrSmith to take the challenge, but I guess I'll need to make the jump and hope he backs me up

Final Results for the day: David Hamilton, Neverborn 1st Greg Findlay, Neverborn 2nd Mook, Neverborn, 3rd Alan Nicholson, Guild, 4th Mark Bonatti, Neverborn, 5th Adam Davies, Outcasts, 6th Gordon Hamilton, Guild, 7th Paul Sinclair, Arcanists, 8th David McGuire, Ressurectionists, 9th Mark Watson, Guild, 10th Dave Clarke, Guild, 11th Martin Nicol, Guild, 12th The best painted crew prize was taken by Paul Sinclair for a well executed and unified scheme. The general consensus was that Master of the Hill had too large a "Hill" and that accumulation scoring changed the dynamic of the game more than they had realised! Thanks to everyone that showed up and I hope that a good day was had by all!

I think there was an issue with unsolicited advertorials (spam to you and me). I assume(and this is a guess), they are offline while they sort the issue out.

I am ultra pleased to announce that the first event of 2013 in Glasgow will be held on the 20th of January (a Sunday), in a secret bunker on Wellington Street(well Number 40, on the ground floor). Location is here , note that the Google image is out of date, these offices are now occupied by the YES charity. The event will be 25 ss, so any starter crew you may have got at Christmas will be eligible, scoring will the Domination format, schemes can only be used once(i.e taking Framed for Murder in Round 1 means you cant use it in Round 2 or 3), and depending on numbers we will have 3 rounds of 90 minutes with plenty of space in between. Cost will be £8 per head, which includes venue hire and prize support. The Gaining Grounds 2012-13 Testing Pack rules all apply. We don't have a time limit so if numbers are good this may be 4 rounds, we will see nearer the time. You can grab your info pack at http://www.g3gamers.co.uk/?post_type=document&p=150 Round 1 is Shared Land Grab (Gaining Ground) Round 2 is Shared Treasure Hunt (Gaining Ground) Round 3 is Shared Master Of The Hill If we have a 4th round due to large numbers it will be Shared Slaughter and times for each round will reduce accordingly. The venue is easily accessible by public transport, and parking is available near the building. Glasgow city centre is well serviced with eateries and coffee shops, so there are no worries about food availability. See you there! Attendees 1 - Dave McGuire 2 - Mark Bonatti 3 - Mook Le Mook 4 - Adam Davies 5 - Greg Findlay 7 - Jonny West 8 - Victoria Denning 9 - William Logan 10 - Alan Nicholson 11 - David Hamilton 12 - Scott Burry 13 - Mark Watson
