17) Andrew Brain - IV/59b Post Mongol Samurai - 21 pts
18) David Lawrence - IV/58 Medieval Irish - 21 pts --> stepped in to replace a withdrawn player to keep numbers even. Withdrew after round 5 to keep numbers even
19) Tony Cotton - II/69c Sassanid Persian - 20 pts
20) Peter Spitzkowski - II/28b Early Armenian (Other).
Leigh Dunn was forced to withdraw and take his Spanish/Tlaxcalan monsters away after round 2 so I stepped up to keep the numbers even and discovered that my Medieval Irish were not the killer force I dreamed they would be. When David Williams had to leave early I also withdrew to keep the numbers even (and breathed a sigh of relief that I would avoid one final pantsing).
David Osborne took out the Executioner Award after cutting down 8 elements of Andrew Brain's Samurai.
The coveted Magister Militum prize (The Maurice) was won by Mark Baker and his Wallachians. When the scores were adjusted for the army ratings, Mark was catapulted from 6th place to 1st.
Phil Baldoni won the Mithradates Trophy for the highest improvement on a previous best Landwaster performance with a 3 percentage point lift
