Birmingham Beckons! Europeans 2018

By Cremate, in Imperial Assault Skirmish

The Europeans are upon us again!

The Boardwars will be there in greater numbers than last year, with both Stephan, Alistair, and myself (Jeppe) participating this year. We'll need the reinforcements, as Alistair and I were both struggling a bit last year. Save us @jacenat you're our only hope. :)

So who else will be there?

Also, the Armada folks have a splendid tradition of doing breakfast before the larger tournaments and I had fun meeting up with them at Weatherspoons just outside the venue last year. Would anyone want to do something similar on Saturday?


Stephan and I will both be arriving Thursday, myself particularly early (anyone for a game or two nearby the airport around noon or early afternoon tomorrow?), so meeting up with us Thursday night or Friday might be possible, if time allows. We might be looking to do some practice games, an interview or two, and - of course - browse the trade hall on Friday.

GL everyone. Sad I can't go.

I'm there, looking forward to meeting you all!

Definitely up for breakfast Saturday Jeppe, we should be there around lunchtime Friday so probably catch up with you some point then too

I will be flying in friday morning, will have to assist with X-wing and side events untill I have to judge the IA, but will bring my Worlds list and play mats for the streaming table, so could be up for games in the evening.

Good luck everyone! Hope Rebels win! ?

I'll join in as well. Haven't played the game in about a year, but that won't stop me from having fun hopefully! :)

Bantha is still loads of fun, just not very competitive at the moment. Just need swamps to go :)

Just to note Samwise (Sam White ankle) will be coming along Saturday for breakfast as well as new and the 2 guys in bringing up if you need an idea for numbers at all.

Counting down now!

Cool! What are the lists like?

Diverse while some usual suspects.

Top three after Swiss was, I believe:

1. Arviss (Lithuania) - Scum hunters with a Clawdite twist.

2. Wilfrid (France) - Spying Jedi with a touch of J4X.

3. Alistair (Canada/UK) - Vader & Friends.

There will be a streaming of the games? At least for the top?

Go Rebels!!!

It was beautifully painted as well, I can't remember exactly sorry, I didn't play against him but he was next to me in my top 16 match. Ahsoka and Jarrod for sure and I think Han, rcp+ and smugglers?
