As the information on the Q&A for the candidates can be a bit difficult to follow, I thought I would do a summary of the candidates positions as well as giving you information on what the role is as well as how and when you can vote. Please note, the Q&A is still running so there may be a few more points raised than what I have included here. What is the role?

Although the start time was slightly later, the venue a bit chilly and loynster's stress levels probably a bit higher, the day went smoothly all things considered. I was taking humans as I'd recently finished painting them and I'm trying to get tournament games in with all the races (partly to encourage myself to get them painted). The tournament was using the rules for NAFC and I went for a block ogre, four blitzers (2 guard, 1 frenzy and 1 tackle), two catchers (1 wrestle, 1 sidestep), four linemen, two halflings and four re-rolls. The only time I'd used humans on tabletop was when I had taken an all linemen and ogre team when teaching the game to ...
