Doctor Who: Anniversary Games Night
2017-11-23 16:00 - 21:00 (Europe/London) | London
Mountain Gremlin Games is hosting a Doctor Who games night on the on the anniversary of it airing on TV!
Here is a message from them talking about the store and this event!

A familiar story to you all I’m sure. I’m a tabletop gamer who started with some familiar titles back in the late 80s/early 90s, one or two of them may have been written by Rick Priestly. I always wanted to run an independent games shop, like the one I used to go to as a teenager. I learned so much there about gaming, painting and the variety of gaming products.
I have always been a massive Doctor Who fans and when Warlord Games released their range of figures I knew I had to stock them. I even asked one of the store regulars to pick me up a copy of the game when it was released at Salute in London earlier this year. Of course, this became a store copy. The miniatures cast for this range are among the finest castings I have ever seen. The detail is amazing.

One of the great things about Warlord skirmish games is their openness and accessibility. The recruitment cards on Doctor Who or Project Z, for example, saves valuable game time, by having the stats in front of you. Also, the specialized dice make the results of any particular role obvious. This is really helpful when explaining a game to new players. We hold regular games nights in the store and at the time of writing are planning on holding a Doctor Who anniversary games night.

My store philosophy is:

Gaming doesn’t have to complicated.
The rule book and source materials are merely the beginning and certainly not the be all and end all

It’s your game, your army, your character, your decision.
Have fun!

My customers and I are looking forward to Blood Red Skies. The gameplay looks interesting and the miniatures are amazing. This will be for many people an accessible game for WW2 aviation and a long-awaited accompaniment to Bolt Action. If you haven’t seen any of the promotional videos for this I strongly advise it.

My store faction for Doctor Who is the Cybermen. It is my personal goal to upgrade every possible creature in the game. They are also very easy and quick to paint, useful for a store owner with less and less time on his hands. In the future, I hope to have a store Doctor painted alongside some Daleks.

If you are passing please do pop in for a cuppa and a game or two. We can be found just outside Chesterfield town centre. If not you can order online probably not tea though, if the postman doesn’t drink if it may be cold when it arrives.

Missions:
The missions will be determined at the time of the tournament and based on the table for the tournament. The scenario for that table will be the same for each 3 rounds. Every attempt will be made so you do not play on the same table twice during the tournament. You may play the same scenario though, just a different table.
Match ups:
Players will be matched Axis vs. Allied in the first round. Subsequent games will be matched Axis vs. Allied, if possible, based on the current ranking of players in the tournament.
Tournament Scoring:
The scoring for the tournament will be decided by tournament points scored during the three games. Tournament points are accumulated as follows.
• Win: 3 points
• Draw: 1 points
• Loss: 0 point
• In addition, players must also record how many enemy units they destroy during the games. These destroyed enemy units are added together in a running total and are used as a tiebreaker to pair players that are on the same level of Tournament Points.
• For the second round, players will be paired using a Swiss system (i.e. matching players on the same amount of TP’s, in descending order). In case of more than two players on the same number of TP’s, players will be matched in descending ‘units killed’ total.

There will be additional Objectives that a player can win. These are secondary objectives to the main Victory Conditions for the scenario. You can only claim one of the objectives per game during the tournament. And only claim that objective once per tournament.

• The player with the most TP’s will be the winner
• In case of the same TP’s at the top, the winner will be the player with the highest Casualty point’s total.
