Sorry all plans changed and I am not free to attend. Apologies to those hoping to crush my dreams. Oh shame - it really won't be the same without you. I know so much better. I had to get in there first.

Barnsley is famous for its maiden warriors. Formed into a gaggle this confusing mass is hard to track their direction of travel and pairs of two or three split off to form smaller combat groups.
The elite dress in pink, adorned with feathery acompanyments and ofen wear white spiked boots, it is believed the colours are chosen because blood shows.
The leader of a gaggle and her inner circle can be identified by their sash of office, I wont describe the rods of office they carry but....
They are terrible to face.....

If it is the one from years ago it is great, I remember thinking how easy would it be yo follow his footsteps in the current world? Lots of talk of the Devil Alexander.
I do find it interesting that some great warrior leaders have solidly built up a vast empire built on glorious victories. Whilst other dictators have cruelly pillaged their way through their neighbour's inflicting genocide on all they meet.
Not bad for 07:00

It was indeed a good day. Like Colin I liked the venue and admired allnewstevie's organisation of the tournament. 40-minute games took me back to the good old days at PAWS in Portsmouth (35 minutes add-a-bit-on) - I'm not sure I made the mental shift needed, though. I also liked it that the stentorian shout of Last Bound meant no more PIPs dice. My army was the early Blemmye of Nubia. This is a desert army that looks longingly across the Red sea at its Arabian neighbours because they have already invented the camel - but does not do so itself until a century or so after the tournament's end date of 0 AD. Even so they field a nice combination of cavalry, spears, fast bow and fast auxiliaries. Their poor results (W1D2L3) can be blamed neither on the army nor the dice but on the skills of enemy commanders and the mistakes of their own. Among other things, another time I'd take different terrain (fewer dunes) and do more to avoid my troops getting out of command range. As an innovation, we could bring two variants of our army and decide which to deploy when we knew that army (but not the variant) we were facing. I would be interested to hear other players' reactions to this. My own first thought is that it added quite a lot of preparatory agonising without making much difference on the battlefields. But I'd be happy to try it again. Paul H Fewer dunes, the ironyđ

A wonderful field is here. That field is marrying material

6mm buildings for a 15mm game is my preference. We are representing a BUA rather than re creating one.
