The Captain -
Oh only 6 ? Was hoping you guys would have 20 plus. Still gaming in the old barracks ?

The Wiking-Con events are usually for Veteran Players - that is why the number is limited to 6 or 8 players.
For future Wiking-Con events, players must qualify in order to participate.
Players who have 6 points or more are qualified to participate in a Wiking-Con event.
