We will add you to the waiting list and if the numbers are there we will make the adjustments and add the additional space.

We are currently 3d-printing terrain and will continue to prepare additional terrain in the coming months.
We are also borrowing terrain from Invasion, who have graciously offered to help us out. This ensures we have everything we need.
