It’s the morning of Bugman’s XXXXXX (henceforth referred to as Bugman’s) and as ever I woke up crazy early on tournament day.  Just under a 4 hour journey from Swindon to Nottingham in Friday evening traffic left Hudson and me just enough time for a swift pint in Bugman’s bar before heading to Pizza Hut with JBone, Be4ch, JT-Y and Ruthy to set the BB world to rights over unlimited salad.

Before that though, we pre-registered with Nick, putting in team names to the big GW spreadsheet.  The event is sold out at 100 people, and there was a big box of white classic block dice being given out (should have taken a photo, sorry!), along with templates for anyone who needs them, and name cards, which get you food all weekend.

There were a few BBers gaming in the hall, great to see, though one of them was using Space Wolves!  Didn’t have time to say hello, but looking forward to meeting lots of new people today (I knew >100 of the 140 at NAFC, expecting to know about 20/100 today).

After Pizza Hut, Gary and I headed to Ludorati, a board games cafe in Nottingham, getting there about 10pm which gave us an hour of gaming time – ran through the tutorial of Warhammer Quest and then a few quick games of That’s My Fish, awesome little game, suprisingly tactical and frustrating when you realise you’ve lost (and satisfying when you realise you’ve won). Sounds like a game I’ll be playing today…
