The 2022 FLG Cherokee Open is happening this weekend, and includes a bunch of games including Warhammer 40k, AoS, and Star Wars Legion!
Frontline Gaming always puts on a good show and this one is going to be close to the Spikey Bits headquarters (well, within driving distance… not really close). Anyway, they will be running a Warhammer 40k tournament, a 40k doubles tournament, an AoS tournament, and a Star Wars Legion tournament.
The event will be running from February 25-27th, 2022. So plenty of fun to be had, plus the casino it’s being held at looks pretty awesome.
Let’s check out some of the tournament highlights. Currently, some of the events are sold out, but email in to see if any spots may be available on event day if you plan on making the trip still!
