I would be honoured if you did! Obviously we would like to get some acknowledgement and "thumbs up" if you did (I.P. et al). What is done at the Rumble is an excellent idea and can be used in other tournaments you run. Besides I doubt very much that the Rumble would run as AoS due to the poor turn out, so by all means give it a go! (You could even nick the scenarios if you want as they would be redundant for us now). Not bad you have an already made tourney ready to go.

Due to the lack of numbers at this event I have been reluctantly forced to cancel the Rumble for this year - it wasn't finacially viable even at those low prices. Didn't think I would ever say that but hey. Maybe it needs a breather. Those that have paid will be fully reimbursed via Paypal. For those people I thank you for the support.

With just six teams signed up so far - you can guess there are a lot of places left. Keeping this going for another week so if you wish in let me know.

Having been swayed by the number of people at the Phoenix club who play AoS . The date has been set for the last few months now and it appears to have a very slow uptake. As we know the hall has to be paid for and this cannot done without the entrant fees for the tournament. There are others outside of the club that have expressed an interest with a least one team paying so far. This simply won't cover the hall hire cost alone never mind the trophies. I will push this now for two more weeks and if people have not given names and a paypal payment by then then I will reluctantly have to cancel the tournament which is a massive shame. So again everyone please let me know within the next two weeks or I will have to pull the plug and reimburse those who have paid.

Still a number of places left. I will be ramping up the promotion of this at the end of the month as I am sorting a number of life changing things such as a job move. Just let me know if you wish in and I will put you on my list of attendees.

Hopefully these will help as I did dropbox them over on Facebook.

Thanks Paul for words of encouragement its very rare for me to feel this way. I suppose its because as you say appealing to a new genre of players can be difficult if they have no clue what the Rumble was about. A lot has gone in to convert the scenarios and make them playable for AoS and really fun to do so. It has been a rare thing that someone hasn't enjoyed themselves playing in it. Still we have a lot at the club entering so yes I probably wait until January for a big push. When it was run as 8th ed it was almost full by now. I will be done at the club tomorrow to get definitive names on the roster and then add yours. Thanks again for your support and look forward to seeing Luke and yourself again in 2017.

I know its early doors but apart from PGC members I have had only 2 interested parties. Perhaps its something wrong with the pack or wrong timing of year I am unsure. Are there any people interested in going to this as it may end up being cancelled. This would be a shame as it has run really well over the last 6 years. If anybody could me a heads up of what the problem is I would be grateful. thanks.

Cool let me know when you can and I'll pencil you in. Payment details are in the pack - and still pretty reasonable. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Rulespack and Battleplan pack is up now on pdf. If you wish a word doc. let me know. I am reserving 7 team spots for the Phoenix Gaming Club (PGC). There are 17 team places left. 1) PGC 2) PGC 3) PGC 4) PGC 5) PGC 6) PGC 7) PGC

Just completed the rulespack but just adjusting the scenario/ battleplans pack which has to incorporate the gargants which is a big part of the Rushden Rumble. Hopefully I will post up either tomorrow or Friday evening (GMT).

Thank you for the kind comments about the Rumble. Fortunately it is with the advent of General's Hand Book that has sparked a big interest in our club and with 16 players it seems like (as said before a no-brainer). Unfortunately I was initially sceptical but with the GHB things are looking up. Yes I remember Luke, his face of surprise when he came second was pretty cool. This is also a good part of the tournament as nobody actually knows how they have done compared to others as we do not run a Swiss- system - its just no possible. Unfortunately I have had to change the date to the 18th March as the 4th of March was double booked. I got told the other night so I have had to change. So same as everything else above except the date has been changed. I have been exceptionally busy at work with exams coming in to be marked (piles of them) so the packs will be ready by the end of the month. I can't seem to change the entry in the events calendar if anybody has any tips please and move it to the 18th March.

Please do not send cash! I am currently constructing the Rulespack and Battleplan pack. Edit note 01/12/2016 - Both packs are completed. We are trying to keep with the spirit of the Rushden Rumble in its old guise but are introducing AoS (as on last count we had 16 AoS players in the Hall the other club night. You will come as an initial team partnership (no battle brothers allowed - no same armies in a team) and their are no restrictions on which army you team up with (except aforementioned). However in rounds two and three you will be all randomly swapped for more crazy mirth and laughter. This is a fun one day tournament with three games. As before the doubles results are fed into a singles results table. Best surviving Gargant and best painted Gargant also up for prizes. More details later when I post up the packs.
