I got to play with an army composed of Ax and Ps, facing a force including 5 elephants that had to defend in terrain consisting of 3 woods and a marsh. To add to Pauls woes it was blind general and twice a request to move Elephant first he was shown a 1 so no movement at all. I really tried not to laugh but it made up for the camels. You see that's what I expected the Tamil to be faced with! Having 5 elephants, two of which were allies, an Aggression factor of 0 and four largish pieces of bad going so cramped deployment I didn't expect them to do well at all, facing a lot of the mainly Ps and Ax armies I expected people to bring. Unfortunately some people brought Warband armies and the Tamil seemed to get a run of playing these, so presumably enjoyed stomping all over them? Only Paul and Ken played with them properly. And how come the Welsh did so well, facing Ps they can't kill and Wb who auto kill them? Fortunately Martin M very kindly saved me from the embarrassment of providing an army with a 100% winning record.

I am obviously quite hopeless at choosing rubbish armies, having supplied the armies that came 1st and 3rd in scoring the most points.

I think Paul has a 1 point score he can still ditch and he's due to attend Steel Warriors, whereas at present Pete can't attend.
We have 5 of the top 6 currently coming and enough people attending overall to make it a high scoring tournament!
But of course it's a FUN tournament!

Will there be a 'Bring and Take Back' table?

Hi Paul If I can make it, I know you said you'd supply measuring sticks for everyone, but what about Barker Markers and deployment zone aids?

So Pete hosts the next tournament and being the gentleman that he is, will presumably not be trying to win his own tournament, which gives the other top 4 a chance to get more points on the board. But then he has his chance to reclaim some ground at the Northern Cup.
Then 6 out of the top 7 congregate for the Steel Warriors.
Could Mr Pulley's aversion to the bracing northern air cost him at the end of the season??!!
Will Paul H's plan to attend every DBA competition going give him enough points to win the title?
Exciting!!

We are now up to 26 people interested. These are: Simon Wilson Paul Murgatroyd Stevie Andrews ? Ken Gordon Baldie Terry Mahon Tom Whitehead Pete Davis Colin Alcock Rob Rush Tim Rogers Pete Duckworth Martin Myers Keith Murphy Paul Hodson Tom Davis Rory Pratt Martin Smith Paddy Myers Chris Kemp Phil Steele John Saunders ? Neil Bayly Colin O’Shea Tim Kohler Lulu Spargo
Most of the votes are in for which three armies we'll ask Irregular Miniatures to supply as their sponsorship for this competition, but I'm going to give a couple more days for the last few people to respond, if they want to. So far it's looking like 3 from Scots Common, Thai/Siamese, Inca and Rus.
However for those people who were interested in the Maccebean Jewish, I understand Mr Whitehead may be bringing some of his spare painted figures for that army along to the Bring and Buy!
As before, if anyone else is interested in attending, (details on the first page of this post) please let me know and message me their e-mail or if anyone above can no longer attend please let me know as well.
Thanks

Looks good!
1 minor point, slide 10 - maybe better to say 'you can't move more than your full movement allowance', as you can move the full distance, you don't have to move less than this.

Ok Keith you're in
If you're plus 1 wants to give me their email address as well I'll add them to the group. (This does not commit anyone to attending but it does mean you get updated info sent direct to you and you get a say in the choice of armies for the podium positions.)
