Hi all. My apologies for the delayed mail, I was giving a couple of
events time to get some information to me but unfortunately I just
can't hold out forever, so here's this months wrap up of coming
events.
COMMUNITY
Masters 2012
http://www.wargamerau.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=124354
The only Masters event for Australia in 2012 will be at Arcanacon in
January! Hit the link here to get soem details, but rest assured the
AU community will be coming together en force to bring you a truly
masterful event. Unfortunately clashing with CanCon, the Masters at
Arc is the premier Privateer Press endorsed event for 2012 competitive
play in the country, so if you're serious you'll start organising
yourself now.
CanCon 2012
http://www.wargamerau.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=120805
The toughest decision of a Warmachine/Hordes' gaming holidayy in 2012
will be that of deciding between Arc and CanCon. While Arc will have
the Masters, CanCon is shaping up as a truly spectacular event.
Heralding the return of long abroad PG Jyggdrasil, CanCon will have
some truly unique and fantastic events, and is a massive con with
board games, other wargamers, and what I hear is a truly epic vendor
area. Study some forum threads, read some tea leaves, or flip a coin
if need be - but get your tickets and accomodation sorted now if
you're going to CanCon!
Warcast
http://www.warcastonline.com/
A bunch of our eastern seaboard players, including fresh PG
CheatyMcShane, have brought together a brand new podcast! They're
leaning a little on the legion side at the moment, but don't let that
fool you, it's well worth a listen and subscription on iTunes!
Production values have skyrocketed, sponsors have leaped aboard like
Kromac against an unprotected pNemo, and "Ask Warcast" continues to
give us valuable insights!

Oz Super Series
http://www.rankingshq.com/ozsuperseries/
The Super Series final is just around the corner! The team at
Irresistible Force have been working behind the scenes with Hall of
Heroes and Realm of Legends to put together a new series that will
build on the burgeoning Warmachine & Hordes scene in Australia and
provide a fantastic new tournament championship.
Tickets for events are available through the RankingsHQ website listed
above, with events in several states and possibly more to come. Forum
chatter seems heavy on the Super Series, it should be a real treat.
The second round of the series for the year has been announced, if you
haven't got a qualifying spot yet get in there now!

a month it's been, I look forward to seeing you all in November.
As always, PLAY LIKE YOU'VE GOT A PAIR.
