WoW Event - Sunday, January 9th, Armoury Games in Pickerington, Ohio

[The Cowman]

I have spoken to the owner of Armoury Games here in Pickerington, and we will be running a casual wings of war event on Sunday, January 9th starting at 1 PM. Folks should come in to register around 12:30 PM.

I will be posting a specific list of rules and hopefully some cool prizes as I pull all of that together over the next few days (allowing for the Holidays). Watch for that here in this thread soon. I just wanted to get out the "heads up" to interested players so that they can set aside the date in advance. I hope to see a bunch of pilots there! :D

Hi Ken, just wondering if this is going to be listed on their, Armory Games, website?

[The Cowman]

I have sent the info to Bruce the owner, he told me he would put it up on the site, so I imagine it will go up in the next day or two now that Christmas is past us! I will be calling him tomorrow and taking the flyers down to him on Tuesday. I am hoping that a few of the Ohio members that I sent out a message to will spread the word... maybe even print out and spread a flyer or two for me... I would love to see us fill up the place! I know Jager has told me he will be driving in from Akron for the day!

My apologies Tom I did not see this earlier! I am glad you are going to make it out! I have pretty much everything we will need... I only have two mats, and we will likely have to run more than one table... but we do not have to have mats for that (The tables are all carpeted)!!

I will bring my mat anyway.

Hoping there's a good tavarn nearby to toast our victories, or drown our defeats...in moderation of course (since we do have to drive home afterward :p)
