I wonder how many more people would go if there was a 40k aspect to it.

I'd Go : )

Go to a forum associated with a fantasy tournament, or go to the fantasy tournament itself?)

Every tournament doesn't have to have a 40k element. In this case, to run 40k, Chris would need: Additonal space to hold the 40k event, gaming tables, scenery, judges, and staff. Essentially, everything. He's taking over the Colonial from Matt York, and it's his first year. He's doing a good job with it, and in subsequent years he might decide to add 40k. But in his first year, just handling the transition and putting on a good fantasy touranement is a huge job in itself.

Hell, just getting my ancient orc army ready to play in it is a huge job.

Is anyone else getting an issue with the page? For me, the registration and newlsletter forms are covering half the page, so I can't really read anything.

Holy crap, you're actually stepping into the ring mike!?! How long has it been?

Same issue here. The content is unreadable because those two field tables cover the center of my screen.

Hmmmm, last actual GT I played in was the first GT that GW ran down in Baltimore.)

I'm signed up for Mechanicon in two weeks, then Conflict and Colonial next year. Blame it on Ludwig moving in with me, he's a bad influence. But mostly after running so much stuff this year out of the bunker, and getting to know so many of the guys, I just want to go spend weekends rolling dice and drinking. And Colonial has always been very good for both of those things.

Found this post on their forums with some more details (having trouble getting the website to work here, too):

Looks tempting!!!

Guys,

I will ask Winthrope Design to look into the issue, that is the company that is handling my IT and web site issues. If you need to send me a PM with your name, email, club, army, and where you are coming from and I will put you in the data base myself.

MM

Actually, I wanted to get a look at the rules, the FAQ, etc...But I can't because of the problem with the web page. Since I work weekends, it's unlikely I'd be able to come anyways. :(

:p Chris Asked me to see if there was interest in 40k Sunday before I posted.

So yea. I'm just testing the water trying to see if there would be interested. I'm going to be advertising for him like crazy since he puts on a great event.

Hey guys,

some of the kinks that were giving you problems before should be gone. Feel free to check out the site and register!

MM

Ladies and Gentlemen,

This is a friendly reminder that we are accepting payment for the 2011 Colonial GT beginning on November 1st! If you register for the event before March 12th, your payment for the event will be $80.00, that's $10.00 off!

So please register on the web site that lets us know that you are coming. You will be able to make your payment to secure your slot for the event.

The Master List will be maintained by the Tournament Organizer, and there will be a living list (in the forum) in a thread with the subject title of "Master List."

Remember that you can only secure your slot when I receive your payment. The price for the event is $90.00 unless you pre-register and prepay before the deadline date....then it is only $80.00

I am working with Winthrop Design to place an easy to pay button or link on the Colonial site.

In the meantime, please follow the directions for payment that is listed in the general rules for the event, under the tab of "Game Play."

Do you need a hotel room for the event? See the easy link on the bottom of every page that says "Starwood Hotels and Resorts", or click on the link "Click here for your reservations." This is so you can make your reservations as you register for the event. Otherwise you may call the hotel and make your reservations over the phone, just make sure to say that you are under the group "Colonial GT."

Colonial GT now has 40 spots open for 40k. It will most likely fill up and possibly get larger

Same weekend as Lonewolf in Dallas. I guess that's only a problem for a small handful of folks who might try to make both.

Dallas TX? Or Dallas PA?

Since Chris hasn't made the rounds yet, I'll post up this message from him.
The group running 40K averages 35-40 people for their monthly RTTs and are quite experienced folks. The terrain will be extremely well done too


Thats right folks,

40k will be included in the 2011 Colonial GT! The new allocation of slots will be 90/40 (Fantasy/40K). After March 5th, any available slots will become open to all, so 40k can grow to more than 40 slots! Please visit the website www.thecolonialgt.com, to register for the event. On the web site under the gameplay tab, you will find a section on rules. This will give you the basis on the core rules for the event, including payment information. When you pay using paypal, please note that you are playing 40k in the comments section. If you are paying via check, make sure you place 40k in the bottom left hand "for" section on the check. The final details are being worked out for the tournament packets and will be placed on the web site for your convience. 40k players, please submit the army lists to BrGrimGT@gmail.com by March 25th, failure to do so by that date will result in 10 points being deducted from your final score. Payment for the event must be paid through me, by paypal or mail, which is covered on the web site.

At this time I would like to make a huge shout out to Dave at the Brothers Grim for running this 40k section of the Colonial GT! Please support him in this endevour! I know that with your help we can make 40k a permanent part of the Colonial GT!

I would also like to give thanks to Tony Spino for providing a entry ticket to next years Mechanicon! This ticket will give you entry to his 40k tournament! GW will be making this a Indy GT qualifyer, so a Vegas ticket is there. Mike Brandt has also provided a Nova GT ticket, as well as the 40k Warstore Weekend. Dave and the Brothers Grimm will also be provididng a ticket to their GT event which is happaning next year! I will also be providing a generous amount of prize support as I always have, and am working on a grab bag for all players! There Overall Winner will also be provided a sword, as in all my events!
