WFB Fight Club
Rules v1.0 dated 25 May 2013

Fight Club: WFB @ Midpoint begins this Saturday. Bring your armies – your heroes, your regiments, your rare toys, disparate units all. Form desperate alliances. Fight fair. Claim Victory. And remember to have fun.

Fight Club Warhammer uses the Big Red Rulebook [or small red rulebook]. The only difference is that the points don’t matter [as much.] Choose your army in a different manner. Learn to fight bigger opponents. Or defend against smaller opponents. And have fun. All current WFB army books are valid. Mix and match your collection using alliances.

In another effort to encourage collecting as a hobby, retailers launch their last series of discounts aimed at encouraging collectors to turn out in droves.
Enjoyment can be found in all aspects of life, and collecting is but one. Creating 3-D physical works of personal art is also on the rise.

Mr BigNoodle announced the final series of warehouse clearance items was now up for grabs. As public enjoyment falls with the requirement of CoEs, home entertainment is set to increase. More private parties, invite-only, and gatherings of friends will occur in the privacy of homes.

The list of the deflationary goods list is now found here 2013-05 LoTR Sale List.

So, as the famous quote from a popular series went … “Catch them all!” while you can!

In another realignment musterstroke, retailers today move to proffer even more attractive prices as the impact of CoEs truly hits home for residents. Faced with the idea of working to live, residents are now seriously reviewing what ‘enjoyment’ truly means. Is a hobby enjoyment? Does one’s enjoyment depend on society’s approval? How does one get around the need for a CoE?

Mr BigNoodle announced that after going through their warehouse clean ups, his company has found more items that need to be sold; in a deflationary environment, selling today is better than waiting for the product to appreciate through future price increases.

Spanning the range of fantasy miniatures, as well as science fiction miniatures from popular intellectual properties, the sale will run until the end of April 2013. Mr BigNoodle further explained that he wanted his resident customers to be fully prepared to enjoy their hobby in the privacy of their own homes… and the only way to do that was to have miniatures to paint and collect, and ready to face 01 May when CoE restrictions apply.  He also confirmed that there would be a Fantasy Battles Fight Club to start in May 2013. and that he is working on securing a CoE exception for playing within his stores’ premises and believes it will be possible.

Responding to these moves, Mr Wah Bian Sng, Secretary for the Ministry of Enjoyment, said, “We have absolute faith that these deflationary moves by the market are clear signs that we have always needed a CoE system to manage our GDP estimates. We believe that we are on track to hit our targets for this financial year.”
