New Player Sessions
At event we run a series of sessions designed to provide support for players new to the game or new to different areas of the game or after a refresher on an area. All of these sessions with two exceptions are open to all players who wish to attend. The New Player Meeting in the Hub and the New Player Skirmish on the Skirmish Field are available only to players at their first or second games.
These sessions are run by members of crew or volunteers from the player base who have experience in the area of the game.
Because of the number of different sessions available and time available some of the sessions clash with their timings, You are welcome to attend sessions at different events as you choose.
