Polar Bear Tournament

The have their own gaming hall used for various events, mostly Magic and Warhammer but well supplied with tables and the like. The location is Nóatún 17. For your convenience one of our players will pick you up on both days and we will see you safely home at days end. As for the Tournament fee. On the actual day is good enough and could then be as easily in Icelandic kronas. 60 euros (about 75$ US

D) amounts to 9000 kronas. Currency converter:

Included in the fee is a special T-shirt and the rest is mostly to cover the cost of meals. Our gaming group is Einherjar, if you look up the back of the front cover of the main rulebook you will find the name of our group and my name as well. At the core we have a playtest group of very active players plus more casual players. Our gaming group is in a number of other army list books, most recent are Devil's Charge Desperate Measures. Reykjavik is very modern but not very large. Same rules here apply as anywhere else in Western Europe or North America. I asked my friend Gareth Richards who has been here on a few occasions about how he did it and he recommended www.booking.com. Most people would just like to book through www.booking.com and select Reykjavik. Look at the map and make sure you are in Reykjavik, the entire capital area has about 250.000 people living there including nearby districts like Hafnarfjörður, Garðarbær and Kópavogur, but I would recommend you find a place within Reykjavik If you want you can ask me about places but almost all would be satisfactory, but some are situated closer to the city centre and are therefore more likely to be within walking distance of most attraction/services. Also it would be clever to give me a selection to choose from and I will give you my best advice. Restaurants are plentiful and well within good means. In fact a high end meal is far less expensive here than in many other countries and we have Subway, pizza and most everything else, well except MacDonalds which is not in Iceland. Crime rate is noticeably low in Iceland, pickpocketing unheard of, but still be vary of leaving expensive cameras, handbags or phones unattended. You will arrive at Keflavik Airport and you should take the Flybus to Reykjavik. About a 40 minute ride through an odd landscape that was actually used by NASA to prepare the Astronauts for the Moon landings. Until 2007 there used to be a large US Airforce base at Keflavik and there is a joke you should be aware of, it was that Iceland was a great posting, with a virgin under every tree. You will get the joke on arrival. Be sure to buy a return ticket as that is somewhat cheaper but the price of a return ticket is today 3.500 IKR or about 30 $USD or 22 EUROS. The tickets are bought inside the terminal just to your right when you leave customs (the Airport is small and neat, a far cry from large international airports). If you arrive a day early then we plan to show you about Reykjavik and you should bring a swimsuit because in February then going to an outdoor swimming pool in darkness and cold and still finding the swimming pool very warm since it is heated with geothermal water is quite an experience. You might even catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights. Are you aware of the Einherjar handicap rule? For Saturday night we have a big game planned and it is a fun/non serious event. The Tournament is also supposed to be a fun event. We decided to run with international invites for added enjoyment of all, it would be a pleasure to host an event with like minded players from other countries. But since the Flames of War community is very much 30+ a number of us have decent incomes and this is a good chance to see Iceland, even if it is for a short stay.
