Arnopov is right, the armies seem well balanced (I just made the plan to come, and had a look through the armies). Lots of them are high agression. There are some tempting mounted armies, but always the threat of the Elamites with 9 Bw. I like the look of the early Arabs (5 Cm) but I'm not sure any of my existing camel riders are capable of pretending to be them. Too stately (early Islamic) or purple (Tuareg).

Looks a good list. Unfortunately I will not be able to attend this one as will have Cricket Captaincy duties. Will also miss out on the Peter Ellis tour of the Fort...

I am hoping to Bill, but, as I mentioned, my plans are subject to change at short notice if my third grandchild decides to arrive a little early. Speaking of arrival times, what time are you hoping to start proceedings?
