Fall-In! 2017 PEL Has Been Posted!

After much hemming, hawing, and gnashing of teeth, the PEL for Fall-In! is finally up.
Player Registration runs from September 4th through October 13th.

I will immediately comment that the expanded event number, including the military hour in the event needs to die an instant but very painful death.  If you have trouble looking up an event from the traditional format, which has the event time right below the event number, the new format will make things even worse.   Avalon Hill rulebook flashbacks, anyone ?

FYI: The traditional gnome games were submitted late.  I'll post them when they appear on the update PEL.

Here's the list of events that piqued my interest:
