Doors Open at 10:00AM for a short player briefing. Round One is underway by 10:30AM

Looking forward to seeing you all there
Cheers

We've (SWMBO and I) been visiting Mark over the weekend. And it has been the perfect time to test a number of armies for this tournament. For me it's Georgians III/71a. I'll leave it to Mark to divulge his selection.
Cheers,

As of the Easter Weekend
I have confirmed the prizes - A big thankyou to Mick's Metal Models, Essex Miniatures Australia, Olympian Games, Leadbear's Tufts and Hall of Ancient Warriors
The number of entries has hit 14 - with 6 lists already in.
Olympian Games and Mick's Metal Models will be in attendance AND I will have some stock from Essex Miniatures Australia available for sale from the control desk
Four of us (Myself, Jon Willacy, Leigh Dunn and George Stocic) had some practice games on the weekend - I am pleased with the performance of my Islamic Berber.
Cheers

This morning another nibble for entries - so that would be 16 players if there is no game day attrition (including myself bringing the numbers up to even)
There are still a few of the usual suspects lurking out there that I am hoping to hear from
Cheers

The Runners and Riders for Collision Course - there has been a late scratching so there are 14 entries (including one unconfirmed) so long as there is no more game day attrition.
Steve Hopkins - I/60a Early Acheamenid Persian Tony Cotton - II/39b Celtiberian Mark Baker - II/52 Dacian and Carpi Jon Willacy - III/20b Early Tang Chinese Geroge Stocic - III/26a Early Serbian Brenton Searle - III/66 Fatimid Egyptian Greg Kelleher - III/71a Gerogian Richard Sisson - IV/13b Medieval German Leigh Dunn - IV/20 Ayyubid Egyptian David Lucas - IV/35 Mongol Conquest David Osborne - IV/59b Post Mongol Samurai Mick Sellman - IV/61 Italian Condotta Guy Sheppard - IV/64c Medieval French Adrian Williams - VIII/21d Peacekeeper (Late Farscape)
If there is an odd number of entries then I will step up with III/75 Islamic Berber
Cheers

There has been a late scratching - but I am not giving out any more info. However it does mean that the Chocolate Frog for first list submitted will not be going to the original favourite And whilst we may lose 1 or 2 more in the lead up to Sunday - don't forget there is still room and I will accept entries on the day Stay tuned Cheers

Very nice turnout. Looking forward to seeing pics of Adrian's army! It could be interesting Bob but I suspect that in the end Adrian being my unconfirmed player - that the Late Farscape Peacekeepers may well turn out to look exactly like Islamic Berber when push comes to shove.
I am still holding out hope that one day you will rock on up to Canberra during one of my tournaments
Cheers
