[tinman_xl]

A few items of business.

1st. Apotheosis Campaign is on going.

2nd. Masters of Metal League will start in October with new challenges, and will be a mixed MKI/MKII event. 

3rd.  Flashpoint is gonna happen in late October, so get your forces ready.

4th. A Paint/Assembly Clinic is also being planned.  This will help out our new players, and those of us who never seem to have the free time to get any painting done.

That's it for now.  More details to come.

Flashpoint was a hit!  We all had a blast.  Through out the day the game drew a lot of curious onlookers, and by the end of the event there were a lot of people with questions about the game, and planning the start their own armies.
