Warhammer Ancients to Take the Field at ATC

by Bud Hunter

There will be a Warhammer Ancient Battles tournament at Advance the Colors on Sept. 10. Bring your 2000 point army from any WAB book. We will play three rounds lasting 1 hour, 45 minutes or 5 turns per game. We will match historical periods initially, where possible, then by Win/Loss record by points. We will have a sponsor allowing us to give prizes this year!

Right now, the Supreme Warlord of Great Lakes Advance the Colors is Mike Bruck of Middletown OH. He is a competent player, but can be beaten! His generals are fickle at times! We will start this madness at 6 pm, Friday night. Come and join in the fun!

We may still be able to fit in another one or two, though.

Also, don't forget the Flea Market! Per your request, it will run both Friday and Saturday. Tables are $10 for half a table, first come, first served. Sign up for the tables at the registration desk.

See you all in Springfield!
