Hi folks,
As some of you may know, our members have been running a series of
Warhammer 40k Leagues recently. The next league is about to begin in the
next few days.
A few notes on the the structure of the League itself:
It is a team based League, with all players divided into the factions of
Order and Disorder.
Every week, the leader of both teams will declare players to attack or
defend.
Attacking players will be paired off with defending players on the opposite
team to play their game.
Players will be able to play their weekly game at GamesSoc meetings on
Monday evenings and Wednesday evenings, or an alternative venue both
players find suitable.
The standard format for play is 500 Points Combat Patrol. In this way,
players will be able to carry their armies to GamesSoc meetings or their
chosen venue with little hassle. Players may agree to play their match in
a different format if desired.
If a player is unable to play his weekly game, he may request a team member
to take his place.
I would encourage anyone interested to sign up as soon as possible, as the
tournament will be getting under way during the next week.
The tournament is being run from the GamesSoc forums. If you are interested
in taking part, please visit the Wargaming board and post your interest and
choice of army in the Team based league thread. The forums can be found at
http://games.dcu.ie/forums/
We expect to run more leagues of this type during the year, so if you're
unable to take part this time, be sure to keep a look out.
Hope to see you all there,
Sean
Traditional Games Officer
Hi folks,
Just a quick update to let you know that Console Gaming starts at 3pm
tomorrow in the Seminar Room rather than 2pm as mentioned before. Make good
use of that extra hour.
Also! We have a small number of Clubs and Socs Ball tickets remaining - €55
each, but well worth the price if previous years are anything to go by.
Be sure to come to Console Gaming/Traditional Gaming/Lab Gaming/Mezz
Night/Sign up for Assassins this week.
Bye!
