Note that there is an error in the PEL -- the Lord of the Rings battle in South Ithilien (Haradrim vs. Gondor) is listed twice at 1pm on Saturday. It should be running once on Saturday and once on Friday, both at 1pm.

PEL says Ross? Here's the map link: https://cdn.ymaws.com/hmgs.site-ym.com/ ... opguid.png

Ross is in the basement rooms of the non-Casino building on the right.

It looks like I won't be able to make it to Valley Forge by 7pm (or even by 8pm, I guess), so set up in Ross, Spencer. Or set up in the usual tournament area if you think it is better -- Ross is more than a little out of the way, and it might make it hard for anyone to find you. And nothing in the PEL says anything about where the Triumph! tournaments are.

Thanks David,
I think I will plan for setting up in Ross.
It looks like it is one level down from the lobby.

I am running a game with Triumph!. Durazzo, 1081. Robert Guiscard’s Italian-Normans vs Alexius Comnena’s Byzantines. 1pm Friday. I don’t know where yet.

Hey Steve! It's great that you're running stuff -- I tried to check out your Durazzo game a couple of times, but I was running three Triumph! games at 1pm (Echo Base, Tantive IV, and a LOTR game in South Ithilien) and the timing didn't work. I think Terence might have popped by and seen your event, though. How did it go? We sent at least two players your way (they were looking for your game and found us instead).

Durazzo had a historical result with the battle ending in bloody exhaustion for both sides. The victory conditions were break two of the enemies three commands. Both the Italo-Normans and the Byzantines second command broke the same turn. I think the players had fun.
