I too am interested…but I’m a little unsure of the limitations of this event, as ‘Modern Day Greece’ includes the southern coastline of ancient Thrace. Can I assume that the requirements are as follows:- (a) Must be a Greek speaking army who’s homeland is in Greece, and (b) Must contain several Hoplite elements, not counting allied Hoplites. This would eliminate these armies:-The I/60c Early Achaemenid Persians, the II/30a Galatians, and the II/33 Polybian Romans, all of whom fought in Greece, but were not Greek speakers, did not live in Greece, and don’thave lots of Hoplites. This would also eliminate the Macedonians and Alexander’s Successors, as Macedon is north of Thessaly, and these don’t have lots of Hoplites either. Likewise, the I/30a Dark Age Greeks don’t have any Hoplites, but they do have 4 x 3Bd. And lastly it would eliminate the Byzantines, who did speak Greek, who did live in Greece, but they too have no Hoplites. But what about these armies?:-All the II/31 Hellenistic Greeks, who did speak Greek, they did live in Greece, but again no Hoplites (apart from II/31h Athens, II/31i Eleians, and the II/31cd Spartans). And would the II/31j Aetolians still be allowed, even though they have no Hoplites? I think a lot of players will be bringing the II/5c Thebans with their 2 x 8Sp double-bases! (Sorry to be such a pedantic nitpicker, but I don’t want to end up bringing the wrong army… )I'm Happy with ALL the armies you quote INCLUDING I/60c , the II/30a and II/33 Don't forget it's alternate rounds with your opponents army & terrain so NO army is gonna be a match winner.

I am planning to be there. Any army BASED in Greece (at any point in time within 4 books) or containing hoplites, right? Yes spot on. Don't forget to email me htrowkcud@gmail.com so I can get the set-up right

Good points Martin. Perhaps I’m being too restrictive in my thinking. (I remember one of Simon’s tournaments where 4, yep four, players turned up with Bosporan armies… …Littoral, aggression zero, and loads of Knights! At least the Bosporus isn’t part of Modern Greece )The Bosporan army lists Hoplites so presumably this means it's a valid army to take, as is Saitic Egyptian, but what about Classical Indian II/3b which lists Bactrian Greek Guardsmen as Sp but not Hoplites? Also if the army lists Hoplites do you actually have to field them e.g. for the Bosporan, instead of Hoplites can you field the Kn? Perhaps if there is some disagreement about which armies can or can't be included, anyone planning to attend should let Pete know beforehand which army they intend to bring and he can say yea or nay? Finally, as Pete has specifically banned any shenanigans I presume that means no Irish armies are allowed? Bosporan & Saitic are fine - if you bring the Hoplites! Classical Indian - no they aren't listed as Hoplites. You are bringing an army on the basis that DOES have hoplites so Bosporan's without them wouldn't be right. Don't forget though, it really doesn't matter - it's only a game

I wonder if it was said with an evil laugh after it, e.g. "the current Mrs Murgatroyd" Nyahahahahahah!

OK to bring the usual ‘bring and buy’ bits (or ‘bring and take home, as you call it 😊) ?
