Some of us from Columbia may come out to this. Need to know how many points.

Day before my anniversary. I'll have to ask the boss...

Is 40k-approved Forgeworld allowed?

Will objective placement be as in the book, or will there be accommodations to prevent uneven objective placement and objectives being camped near board edges?

Hmm, that's after exams... might try to get some of the Columbia crowd together.

Should we call ahead for spots?

since we only have 20 spots available you should probably go ahead and call to reserve yours.

Objectives will be set according to the mission.

Also unfortunately Forgeworld is not allowed.

I called the store last week and got opposite answers for both of those... don't need to reserve a spot, and Forge World is allowed. Could you please clarify?

That is strange, do you happen to remember who you spoke with? I will check to make sure, however, if you are being told by some one here at the shop that Forge World is accepted and that you don't need to call ahead, then that may be the case. The owner is not here for me to ask right now, so let me check with them and I will post the answer soon. Sorry for the confusion.

I don't remember his name, but I remember that when I called in the early afternoon he wasn't in the store, and I had to call back after 6 PM in order to talk to him and get information about the tournament.

Alright, sorry for the delay, especially since the event is tomorrow. I have been unable to confirm or deny either question, so I am going to make an executive decision and say, bring your Forge World, and if you feel like pre-reging go ahead and give us a call. I know these answers come to you at very short notice, so I hope it does not effect your decision to join us on Sunday Morning. I will be monitoring this thread for the rest of the day and most of tonight, so if you have any further questions, comments or concerns please let me know.
