Marquis, just letting you know that setting up a Flames of War table takes about 5 times as long as a 40k or WFB one. We have 14 of them to do. Therefore, assuming we have access to the room, it would rock to be able to set them up Friday. Otherwise, if we have to come in Saturday early to do them, we would likely miss the start time. Worst case? Friday set up tables in the public room, and so long as we are careful, move the already-terrained tables into the tourney room, assuming double doors/flat table through door.

just giving you a heads up for when we get the lads in on Friday to help set up!

[Marquis]

Got it! We're trying to gain access to the other room on the Friday. We should know by Feb 12th'ish.

I plan to make a makeshift cart to bring large amounts of food from the canteen to the hall
