This event has replaced the local annual Bilbos Birthday Bash because most of the old players are getting tired of the Lotr unfortunately....its basically always the same guys.
Replacing that, my buddy Brent has set up this tournament. It sounds like a ton of fun, and if youre new, like me, you have more than enough time to learn the rules and build an army!
