Proposal for the "Foxhole Memorial" Flames of War Tourney

[asuryanmark]

Yes, 1500 points of Late War Europe. I figure that should be easy enough for most people to get.

As for terrain, read through the "I won't be able to play, but is there any way for me to help?" section of the original post. And/or look at the following images for ideas and inspirations. You can see that while there's more pieces than something in a larger scale, the pieces are smaller, fairly simple, and tend to be clustered so there's still a decent chunk of open space.

{WARNING MULTIPLE IMAGES INBOUND!}

Just some updates here:

• Kevin and I will be throwing down a 1750 point Flames of War "grind the rust off"/demo game on the evening of Wednesday December 3 at Showcase. I'll be bringing out the Germans, with a list built more to try and show off a little bit of everything. I'm sure Kevin will have plenty of options to choose from. If you want to see a live game where I'm sure we'll make a ton of mistakes, come on down and pull up a chair, feel free to ask questions along the way.
  
  
• After some thought (and trying to build some lists of my own) I've decided to up the points limit for the Foxhole Memorial to 1750. Sorry Paul, I know I said 1500 earlier. It's still Late War Europe though! This should make people feel a little more comfortable with what they field. And hopefully it means more tanks blowing up!
  
  
• Although the prize categories haven't been finalized, I know what two of the prizes will be and have an idea for what a third will be. While this is more "Friendly Open" than proper tourney, I do want to make it worth people's time to participate. I will provide fuller details later on.
