Greetings Will see what I can do to get there. I found my late mediaeval figures last week .... I haven't played DBA for ages and 3.0 not at all. Note that there is quite a bit of debate about Ordonnance 'archers' in the early Italian Wars with pictorial evidence from Fornovo and Genoa in 1507 of uniformed longbow men in action. I am not yet well read up on this one. Regards Edward OK I'm happy to relent on the mounted LB in the French |

Hi Pete, I'm keen to come along on the 12th of Feb, but I don't have any armies from that time period. Could I please borrow one of the loan armies for the day? Iv/68f if possible please! Cheers, Mark Hi Mark I have lots of loaner armies but no Spanish Neil Mason has Spanish from a DBM Project So might help. How about IV/13d They have lovely hats? And remember the uber armies are an illusion as you will play with your opponents army in the 2nd 1/2... |

I reckon Spanish are the best option too! However, apologies to Pete and Neil, I am unable to make this event. Have fun!

Pete, I am planning to come along unless family issues prevent. What time do you think to finish? What do we do for terrain - bring both invader and defender for our own army?

Hi Paul
We should be over about 4:30. I try to keep timing tight and penalizing draw results helps

Mark and others have noted the superiority of Iv/68f from the list of armies.
However people seem not to have noted that the final games will be played with your opponents army, so a killer list may not be helpful given the Swiss Chess format...
Looking forward to it We managed 16 last year - lets hope its a good one.

Yes, hope it's a good turnout for you, Pete.
Current plan is myself + Colin + Mark coming from a Winchester rendezvous. Have cobbled together two armies, one for myself and one for Mark. Colin's also on the case, I think.
See you Sunday 12th.
Martin

Hi Pete
Hope to be there.
I won't be bringing Spanish though, so at least there will be some variety!
Can you remind me about terrain? Do we bring a selection to use as we see fit in each round or do we supply terrain with the army that has to be used each round it's the defender?
Cheers
Mark
