Mad Cat 2,250 Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) I see the London Masters event is coming around again. 28 October at Warboar Games, 28/30 The Mall, Bromley, BR1 1TS. http://london.carpediem.cd/events/4160308-star-wars-armada-london-masters-2017-at-warboar-games/ https://www.facebook.com/events/152474615305111/ I didn't make it last year but is was quite a turn out I think.

Mundo 264 Posted August 2, 2017 Thanks for posting. This is at my FLGS, and was a great event last year with a turnout of about 30 people IIRC. At the time the biggest in the UK after the first Armada Nationals. With lots of cool prizes too, including a custom alt art card for participation. Highly recommend making this event!

noggin 156 Posted August 7, 2017 I second that. It was great tournament and I'm sure this edition will be fantastic as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ManInTheBox 618 Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) Similarly, I'd recommend this. It's 4 games in a pleasant venue that does table service and Brewdog beer. I really enjoyed playing. Plus, the inclusion of a 'wooden spoon' prize and a random draw prize means that even incompetent admirals such as myself might get some good booty.

GammonLord 324 Posted August 13, 2017 Ooo wooden spoon prize! I could top the (bottom of the) field in this one! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
florianhess 37 Posted August 17, 2017 Haha, i was about to start an official thread for London Masters today and seen that Mad Cat beat me to it Please feel free to ask any question, which i aim to answer quickly. We have just announced this years participation prize, something never seen before in Armada! Check it out on our official Facebook page! Last year we had a fantastic 28 players join the fun, which we hopefully beat this year. Note that the event will once more be limited to 32 players max, so get your ticket soon. There are already about 15+ tickets gone. About the wooden spoon prize, we have managed to secure Deep Cut Studios as a returning sponsor. They provided an amazing prize last year and are set out to ramp it up this year! More announcements coming soon! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Irishmadcat 292 Posted August 21, 2017 What time is it likely to finish? Is there anywhere good to stay close by if I fly over for it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AdmiralRyan 33 Posted August 22, 2017 I had an absolute blast last year, can't wait for it to come around again. @florianhess did a remarkable job in organising and running the tourney last time round. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here's the estimated time table for the day. Last year we managed to wrap 10min ahead of schedule ^^ 9:30 Registration Opens 10:00 Player briefing 10:15 Start of round 1 12:30 End of round 1 13:00 Start of round 2 15:15 End of round 2 15:45 Start of round 3 18:00 end of round 3 18:30 Start of round 4 20:45 end of round 4 21:00 Awards ceremony Please note that we deliberatly provide ample time between rounds to allow players to finish their games and to not pressure new players. About hotels in Bromley, i'd be happy to do some research and provide recommendation soon. I'd also suggest to drop a post on the Facebook event page for the community to provide tips & suggestions.
