Jolly good! Really looking forward to this.  :)

And the following week you can start planning your Salute 2012 game based on The Impossible Astronaut...!   lol

I did a quick final table layout yesterday - here's a bit of fuzzy pic, but it shows initial start up (no roof on Hangar):

While the motivations and forces have changed it's essentially the same set-up as last year. Fast play rules. Gain additional Luck points for defeating opponents and meeting squad objectives:

Bracewell's Robo-Men: Reach the Doctor and locate three objective markers to stop Bracewell from exploding.

British Bulldogs: Search the buildings for spies and retrieve some heavy weapons from the bunker to defeat the invaders.

Time Agents: Deactivate the Chula Ambulance and find Amy Pond.

Autons and the Master: Locate the Nestene control spheres and reach the Radar Array to establish the Nestene Spearhead.

Ironside Daleks: Deactivate the unclean Nanogene mutants and locate any time travellers.

Empty Children: Find you mummy (more victims) and protect the Chula Ambulance.

It's lack of canon leaves me in a cold sweat, but it should be a fun game if nothing else.

Plus random events each round - including an appearance by a shiny iDalek and distractions brought about by serving tea.

Looks the biz mate.

Just finished the Battlefield table, about 2 hours ago, and there is a definite feeling of satisfaction (and relief) seeing it all come together.

Just hope it fits in the car.

Cheers Karl - am hoping will be able to sneak away for a few minutes on saturday, and get a good look at both your games, as the detailing (and painting), on both looks excellent.

Some pics of the final game in play from an Anevilgiraffe. Ross and Matt ran two packed games - and then ran an unscheduled third due to popular demand :)

A great day in all! Thanks to all who played!

Having been fortunate to see the game in the flesh on saturday, it looks even better in real life than in the photos. ;D

Gawd Bless ya! But it was in pretty good company with both of yours too.

Wayswatcher - it was a prototype laser-etched project by TM Terrain for me. Contact David Marshall over at TM if you are interested:

And here are some more pics:

I hope that some figures made it away from the board edge!

Looks terrific - I wish I'd been there.
Back from the dead, almost.
