Ribble Rumble 4 & 5 August not going ahead

Post by fire olli »

Welcome all, the Ribble Warrors are proud to announce the return of the Ribble Rumble for 2012.

For those of you new to the Ribble Rumble, this is the re-introduction of a tournament we used to run several years back in Blackpool. We aim to provide you with a weekend of great gaming and socialising and good memories so please join in and make the most of it and have an enjoyable weekend.

For those of you that supported us last year we are back and aiming for much bigger and better things, and we thank you for your continued support.


This year we will be bigger and better than last year, with the following improvements to name a few.

1. New Gaming boards, all dedicated 6x4 plywood and none of that cloth stuff
2. New terrain for at least 50% of the boards and possibly for even more (we willl post progress updates here)
3. Hot Food on both days will be included in your ticket price
4. Fresh Tea and Coffee free for all on both days !
5. Increased places with up to 64 players in 40k, 20 Flames of War, 20 Hordes & Warmachine and 16 Blood Bowl
6. Improved communications with large posters displaying critical event information

But don't panic not all will be changing, for your delight and enjoyment we will be retaining the following goodies;

1. Still the same competative but fun gaming atmosphere.
2. Same top location
3. Same dedication to supporting the Hobby side
4. Same great prize support with lots of nice trophies.
5. Same after event social at the Adelhi Pub. Also if you are lucky you might catch a glimpse of Dave's pink shirt !!


The event will be run on the weekend of August 4/5th 2012 at The Atrium, Students Union Buildings in Preston, Lancs, UK

40K
This may well be the final swan song event for the glorious(?) Wahammer 40K 5th Edition! So come and give your army one last outing

first post updated.

Please remember that even though on the pdf file it says 5 games, blood bowl will be playing 6 games.

Once i get a link for the rule sorted i will post it up, if anyone can remember the Troll bowl its the same scoring and skills as that.

any question please ask and i will try and find the answer.

The location of the tournament (and the organisers) and these two points make me definitely want to come along, Olli :D

Hi All,

There is a rules pdf link on the first post. Again we are playing 6 games not 5 like the pdf says.

I have had a few questions about the price, this does include 2 hot meals and tea/coffee all day both days. If you are like me i could spend a tenner on food and drink in the day at a event anyway.

Also the bar will be open at night where we are playing and they will be open for breakfast.

Any questions just ask.

Nice one, will have to remember to do the same for Stunty Slam. I know lots of Blood Bowlers like to leave it late, and at the first of the new Ribble Rumbles last year there was no Blood Bowl but I am still hopeful of a good turn out. As you can probably guess from quick selling out of 40k, last years event was a success.

Bump.

If anyone is is interested in this let me know. Blood bowl places will go to the other systems at the end of June. I think we have 5 so far, could do with another 5 at least for this to go ahead.
