The minimum of 6xPs/LH/LCm with no dismounting is how I went with it in last October's MOAB. The range of armies fielded was very impressive. Cheers, Looks like I will be stealing that format then! Did you allow Allies? Regards Simon Hi Simon, No, allies were not allowed. There are plenty of armies across the 4 books that easily meet the criteria. Cheers,

I glue individual figures to 10-12 nails, spray back undercoat and then batch paint the figures.
Cheers

And/or bring a historical matched pair to Bakewell or Alton or play set pairs and pre-arranged terrain with armies provided at the Northern Cup. I am also considering having the theme at the February Bakewell Winter Warmer as a weaker army only one. Not all tournaments are the traditional open, although these are still very much enjoyed. Simon Yes, indeed, letβs have a Wimp Wars theme like Tony Aguilar and the US boys have had this year at Historicon π P And as we did at MOAB this year, with the mighty Nubians triumphant. Cheers,

Last night the redoubtable Marshal Rouault took the field against Edward IV. Rouault, was determined to recover French honour after their recent defeat at the hand of the English. For his part Edward, advancing along the coast, selected the battlefield carefully. His aim was to restrict French deployment options. Much to his surprise Rouhault however did not mass his heavy cavalry on the right, as Edward expected, but rather he split them between the right and centre. The battle opened with a general French advance which was answered by the roar of effective English cannon fire. However, in the centre French resolve was unflinching. Here French men-at-arms supported by light troops pressed forward. The English archers caused some disruption, but the French continued forward. Above the general situation & below the view as the English await the attack. Soon the centre was locked in melee with several minor breakthroughs achieved by the French. English reserves bolstered the line forcing the French back. Rouault was not deterred and repeated attacks fell on English billmen who finally succumbed to the relentless attacks. Edward & his gallant adventurers reluctantly accepted defeat and with daylight fading retired to reorganise, beaten but not broken. Another fine game. Another fine narrative Keith. Cheers,
