Hey people, just want to post a heads up to all of the MD/VA/DC FoW players that a new spot has started to not only carry FoW products but also has a (somewhat) FoW night, every Tues. after about 4pm, and will be having their FIRST FoW tourny this APRIL 29th.

The place is the Lorton VA "Hobbytown" located in Gungston Plaza off of the Lorton exit off of 95south. The phone number, for tourny details and gaming night (the local gaming group there, does WHFB, 40K, Warmachine along with FoW with over 12+ 6x4 tables!!!) events, is 703.339.6420 [ask for Alex or 'AK']

 This is a great chance to not only meet other local FoW players but to also help another store carry FoW products so that the hobby can thrive in our area!

...and tell 'em "Bob" sent ya!

This tournament uses Swiss system pairing, winners play winners, losers play losers. At the end of the day, the best players will play each other.

Each game will be played on beautiful 6? x 4? game tables (no mats!) with Flames of War scale modular terrain such as hills, woods, and ruins. Each table will have the same number and type of terrain pieces so each player has no advantage over another in any given game (such as 3 hills, 3 woods, and 2 ruins).

We?re in this to have fun, because your dice can turn on you like 10 day-old mayonnaise!
