Can't be bothered to pay for parking tonight so will get my tickets tomorrow

they are still prepping hall 3a. lots of benches already, no mats yet, and a lot of volunteers working. boy it will be loud in there, thats not only armada, that must be for many ffg games

oh and the wetherspoon (not the Atrium one) was fully packed right now.

we should be early tomorrow.

So for those picking up tickets tomorrow. There IS a weatherspoons on the otherside of the ticket office.

Have faith though and keep going.

I have never used a flagship token....

Given all the road incidents on the way up, I suspect that Xwing players are poor drivers.

I just arived in the hotel and noticed that my box with the promo cards is missing. This alone is not this bad, but my missions were in the box. This means i forgot my missions now. Could anyone help me out with these?

In Bmingham beer in hand, choosing missions for my MC30s...

Funny story I heard: turns out that most "Irish pubs" outside of Ireland are actually a weird quasi-franchise sort of thing created by an Irish company that sells prepackaged "Irish pubs" around the world. So you can basically call these guys up and they send you a bunch of unique "Irish pub" knickknacks that you assemble and arrange per their instructions. It's such a big business that they are starting to run out of authentic Irish merchandise to supply new customers with.

I went to an Irish pub in Ecuador that was exactly that - a regular ol' building which they'd thrown some Irish knick knacks at! These and a name change to Finn McCools and boom! Irish!

tokra, I have some here, but not all. I will have them with me tomorrow

Opening Salvo or Close Range Intel Scan

Capture the VIP or Hyperspace (Fleet Ambush if you are feeling frisky)

Solar Corona

But above all first player. I know too much about peoples lists to comment on what a decent bid is.

Aye, have a got a pretty solid bid. Opening Salvo is looking tasty...

Sitting on the coach to Birmingham. I Just read we need the flagship tokens... To be honest, never ever used them, was never an issue. Obviously I have none with me, can someone lend me one for the duration of the event? Cheers

Word of note.

Unless your opponent objects, the TO does not need to interfere.

I'll have a look in my box mate, should have a spare

Do we require anything else out of the norm?

Quick reminder for everbody attending the euros please bring 2 printed copies of your fleet list with you. It must include a detailed breakdown of your fleet detailing all upgrade cards and your 3 selected missions.
Please also make sure that you bring flagship markers for both ship and card, and numbers for duplicate ships.

I will if I can, but I only have one set so it depends on what you are running. We can discuss it over breakfast.

Ha! I'll just pop back over to the Netherlands and get those!

Well, at least we're getting some information now. Or rather, those happening to be in that FB group.

Anyway, arrived in Birmingham, my plastic bits seem to have survived the flight, and now looking into where and how to meet you fine gents for breakfast tomorrow.

Reminder that I want pictures of breakfast.

Birds start to sing at 4:15 avoid getting out of the tent to travel to the loo as the fresh air will really wake you up. And NEVER EVER FORGET YOUR PILLOW!!!!!!!!

Sounds grim! At least I'm up at this time because I have to for my flight, but at least I won't be the only one exhausted before the event starts!
