Off to the Scottish Championship!

 

Clearly NOT Photoshopped

Come the second-to-last weekend of October, I’ll be packing my bags for Scotland. My brother lives in Edinburgh, so I’ll fly over, visit him and his family, and then we’ll both drive to Stirling on Saturday, October 25th, to take part in the Armada Scottish Championship at Common Ground Games.

I haven’t settled on a fleet yet — there are too many tempting choices! Empire is my first love, but I’ve also got Rebel and CIS ideas bouncing around. (GAR… not so much.) Ideally, I’ll nail something down, use this event as a test run, and then refine it for the European Championships in Gdańsk this November.

The event itself looks great:

• Date: Saturday, October 25

• Location: Common Ground Games, 40 Cowane Street, FK8 1JR Stirling, UK

• Format: 4 rounds, 135 minutes each — no cut, just a full day of big-ship action

• Schedule:

  • 09:30 – Round 1

  • 11:45 – Lunch

  • 12:15 – Round 2

  • 15:45 – Round 3

  • 18:00 – Short break

  • 18:15 – Round 4

  • 20:45 – Prizes & announcements

  • 21:00 – Home time!

• Cost: £30 (includes made-to-order lunch and swag)

• Ruleset: Armada Ruleset Collective

A glorious day of pushing big ships around, indeed. Maybe some of you will be attending?

I’m looking forward to it. Stirling here we come!
