Nice series of head butting photos here.
Quiz question. Tony’s T-shirt depicts the single ‘Anarchy in the UK’ by The *** Pistols – in which year was it first released?

Colin Pub quiz question.......first thought was 1977, but having googled it (in time-honoured "young team who refused to turn their phones off as requested before the quiz" fashion), it's Nov '76. any extra pics appreciated (Phil Steele usually does better quality ones than mine....will try to keep an eye on his blog) M |

If we are going down the 70s New Wave music pub quiz route, perhaps a more appropriate question for Colin after his experience on Saturday might be who sang these lyrics and in what year?
The evidence is strong
My lucky number's wrong
Ah! Oh! Ah! Oh!
Cheers

Quite why I was reading Tony's T-shirt escapes me. Scott |

Fascinating as always. Particularly as they were a group of armies with which I have had little experience. I am curious to know how the bow heavy armies (Susiana, Early Egyptian and Medes) seemed to do so well. My pre-tournament impression was the the enemy would just roll forwards and annihilate them, particularly with pike now getting a +3 for rear support against bows. Obviously this didn't happen.
I found the Libyans a difficult opponent, as did everybody else. I just wonder, however, if the army was actually legal. The army lists seem to suggest that an oblique (/) between two options suggests that all of a particular option type needs to be taken, whereas we seem to have had a 4/2 split between horde and auxilia. I can see that six hordes would have been even more difficult to play against, so perhaps it was deliberate?

Scott Hi Scott This is indeed deliberate and is a mixture of practicality (most of my old armies are based on 2.2 and I haven't yet got round to updating them all  ) and playing balance, but even with this 'depowering' the Libyans still were a touch powerful - and when was the last time you heard that statement  ??!! It is likely that, in two years time when I have my next go at providing all the figures, the armies will again be a combination of 2.2 and 3.0 lists... P. |
