Rich Courtney here in an attempt to spread the word. Clash for a Cure 2012 is in full swing and we are looking at making this Clash an even better one than 2011! Clash for a Cure 2011 was an event I thought up a few years ago and just took a while for it to actually take place. We set it at 42 players (thinking that was probably beyond our reach!) and let it go...well the event sold out almost 3 weeks prior to the actual event (5 weeks after registration started)! And after the chaos of organizing an event I took a couple of months off from even thinking about it and even contemplated letting it go slowly into the night. I have received a lot of email asking when the next one would be, so I guess it was time to get busy.

Clash for a Cure 2012 is a Warmachine/Hordes and Malifaux Tournament benefiting the ACS. Clash this year is set for 72 players. On Saturday there will be 2 "heats" of 36 players battling it out. The top 10 from each heat will advance to the finals on Sunday. So what if you don't make it to the finals? Well on Sunday there will also be a MM/T&C and a Highlander event. This year, by popular demand, we have also included "The Cog". The Cog is a painting competition with four categories which we will be judging Saturday night.

Prize support for last year...was pretty cool. I am working at it this year to make it even better! We had goody bags for everyone, and the way it is shaping up this year...I think it will work out again! Got some corporate sponsorship as well, so prizes for the winners of the tourneys and The Cog look to be really cool.

One of the biggest draws we had last year was the charity raffle. Painters from all over the US contributed their time to make it a truly memorable event. Some forum favorites like Ghool, p0pgoestheworld, althai, kommander_redfinger, Commander Y, Dead Dogg, and odinsgrandson to name a few. This year, I have most of them back plus some new ones. Schnauzerface, Pszito, Aterdaeus, Col. Festus, Cloudfang, Mnkylord, Arithron1, plus some others that aren't regular forum posters. Slawol from Chest of Colors, Tommy from Golem Painting, and this really talented artist, I think her name is Flup...errr Flug.., oh yeah Fluffy!

So, what does this hold for all of you forumites out there that live in New York, Seattle, or parts unknown? I need your support! "Liking" my Facebook page helps show our current and potential sponsors that we have a following. Which in turn lets us turn this into a truly amazing showing for the American Cancer Society. I had to change the name from last year due to some legal reasons, so I had to restart my FB page from scratch. I was up to about 160 people last year, now I am down in the 80s. Once we hit 100 likes, I will post an IK trivia question, and the first correct answer will receive a prize. Starting out small with models, but as the "like" count rises, so do the prizes! And even if you can't be here, during the weekend of the tournament, we have something special planned out for those that can't attend, so hop over to:

Thanks for reading!

Many thanks MM!

It is getting time (waiting for Origins and Lock & Load) hat I really start hitting my sponsors, so please....please follow the link and hit "like" on Facebook! I know that the count will grow as I get closer, but this year, I had to start really early due to tweaking the name from last year (not by choice!)

If you play Privateer or Wyrd Games, there will be some cool stuff popping up over there for your perusal. If you don't play any of those...it's still a great cause! All it takes is one click, and it shows to all of my potential sponsors that there are wargamers out there ready to stand behind the fight against cancer.

Oh yeah, and if you do give it a like, at #100 I start giving out models through the trivia contest!

This is our first submission to the charity raffle. All the way from Australia!

First Trivia Question is up! Thanks for helping me hit "100" likes! Prizes and questions will elevate as more milestones are hit!

Give it a whirl!

A special thanks to Batertown's own caseyddr for his stealthy, waiting-in-line, texting ninja ways at Lock and Load!

The third Clash Trivia Question will be posted at 8 PM (CST) on the Clash FB page on Sunday night July 1st.

We are giving away a new plastic Cygnar Charger (in baggie) to the winner of the trivia contest. That's all you have to do is answer the question. Well that and be a follower on the Clash FB page.

Ian

Thanks Ian. It may be a few weeks because I think we are booked up on the campaign bandwagon for a few, but I will definitely get a hold of you!
