Battlehost @ ValleyCon numbers have been cap at 20 players. We currently have 18 so there is only 2 spots up for grabs! We are currently the joint biggest system been run!

 

The cap has been enforced by the Hutt Miniature Wargames Club due to space running out at the venue. A waiting list will be started if we exceed 20 and we might be offered more space if sales are slow in other systems. Unfortunately we won't know this until a the week of the tournament.
