Capture the Ring! A LOTR Event

[Simon]

ON SATURDAY 2nd SEPTEMBER OGC LEEDS HOSTS ITS FIRST EVENT

With LOTR now spreading into the Liverpool cell as well, OGC Leeds will host a big multiplayer LOTR event on Saturday 2nd September. Even if you've not got any LOTR models we can supply you with some for the event. The winner gets a £10 gift voucher for GW. Get in touch ASAP to confirm your place in the event. This is how it will run:

Scenario Rules
250 points per player
No more than 33% of the force may be armed with bows/crossbows
No models may be deployed closer than 16" from the Ring or 12" from another enemy model
No named characters
Score points by having a model holding the Ring (by moving onto it) at the end of a turn. The winner will be the player with the most points after 3 hours of gameplay.

There will also be a social event afterwards (getting obscenely drunk), with overnight accommodation available for long haulers!

I would just like to point out that anyone who gets obscenely drunk and throws up in or outside the house will have to clean it up themselves. You have been warned.

Sorry to spoil the fun and all that ^_^

[Simon]

Charly, put this up on the main site straight away please. I'll need enough exposure for it so people will be able to locate this when they visit the main page!

[El Capitan]

I should be there, unless i get killed. Id only be able to get there probably midday at the earliest on the saturday though.

[abbychan]

Simon asks if you could get here on Friday night, Mike? If not it's okay, but it'd be good if you could.

[El Capitan]

I will probably be working - i'll have to switch shifts from saturday to friday, theres a small chance i might be able to get it off but i need the cash!

Directions for Car travel to OGC:Leeds HQ

Directions for car travel:

Travel down here on the M62 and get off at junction 27 onto the M621.

Get off the M621 at junction 2 heading left. At the first roundabout, head right.

Carry on with this road until just before you get to the main leeds inner city ring road, the A58 and get onto the A65 instead by taking a left turn.

Go straight down this road until you get to the Shell garage (near the main railway bridge) and take a right turn at the crossroads. Head straight up this road (going straight on at the next cross roads) until you see the Co-Op on the left. Park there and I will meet you.

[El Capitan]

Do you have an itinerary for tomorrow? What time is it set to start? I believe I'm going with Charly and would predict getting there for around 15:00 ish

[Simon]

Can you land a bit closer to two or half past? Hoping to start the event at three, running til about five.

[El Capitan]

Charly is picking me up in Ormskirk between 12:30 and 13:00 as he is working all morning. So we'll just have to get there as quick as we can but may be gone 3. Also we need to have senior meeting! Luke has given me his suggestions on paper

[El Capitan]

Nice event Simon! Was pretty fun in the end, and I added 10 of Simons human dudes, 4 of Charly's Rohannians and 3 of Tim's Elves to my death tally losing 4 men to simon and 1 each to Tim and Charly. To hell with the ring, I held it first...realised it was just a deep fried onion and then got down to mincing, the blood of each easterling was worth almost 3 enemies in return

[Simon]

Yet the blood of a Goblin was worth a similar death toll, and those guys really do suck. I enjoyed the game though, it was a great game.
