AGOM XVII & The Crucible I

So, not even a week to recover from AGOM XVI and we're announcing two new events - The Crucible I and AGOM XVII. Both of these events will use the Match Play rules from the Generals Handbook (to our knowledge this will be released in July).

We'll update the AGOM website with more details once we know them - for now the details are as follows:

The Crucible I: 14th August 2016 - a single day event with three games of 2 1/2 hours each - tickets cost £15 with 16 positions available.

AGOM XVII: 8th & 9th October 2016 - everyone's favourite event is back - a weekend of gaming - 5 games of  2 1/2 hours each - tickets cost £25 with 32 positions available. We've already sold 10 tickets for this one - so make sure you pick one up sooner rather than later if you want to go!

It's all about to go hideously wrong. And it's probably my fault...
