London Masters, 28 Oct 2017

By Mad Cat, in Star Wars: Armada Organized Play

Thanks for posting. This is at my FLGS, and was a great event last year with a turnout of about 30 people IIRC. At the time the biggest in the UK after the first Armada Nationals. With lots of cool prizes too, including a custom alt art card for participation.

Highly recommend making this event!

I second that. It was great tournament and I'm sure this edition will be fantastic as well.

Similarly, I'd recommend this. It's 4 games in a pleasant venue that does table service and Brewdog beer. I really enjoyed playing. Plus, the inclusion of a 'wooden spoon' prize and a random draw prize means that even incompetent admirals such as myself might get some good booty.

Ooo wooden spoon prize! I could top the (bottom of the) field in this one! :D

Haha, i was about to start an official thread for London Masters today and seen that Mad Cat beat me to it ^_^
Please feel free to ask any question, which i aim to answer quickly.

We have just announced this years participation prize, something never seen before in Armada! Check it out on our official Facebook page!

Last year we had a fantastic 28 players join the fun, which we hopefully beat this year. Note that the event will once more be limited to 32 players max, so get your ticket soon.

There are already about 15+ tickets gone.

About the wooden spoon prize, we have managed to secure Deep Cut Studios as a returning sponsor. They provided an amazing prize last year and are set out to ramp it up this year!

More announcements coming soon!

What time is it likely to finish? Is there anywhere good to stay close by if I fly over for it?

I had an absolute blast last year, can't wait for it to come around again.

@florianhess did a remarkable job in organising and running the tourney last time round.

I think there is a Premier Inn nearby IIRC.

Please note that we deliberatly provide ample time between rounds to allow players to finish their games and to not pressure new players.

About hotels in Bromley, i'd be happy to do some research and provide recommendation soon.

I'd also suggest to drop a post on the Facebook event page for the community to provide tips & suggestions. :)

Amazing wooden spoon prize!

Just booked a slot, website had 13 folks per last update, so that makes 14. Taking that wooden spoon home!

This will be my first gaming event too, so I'm pretty excited to get blown up by someone other than my meta :)
