A further exception to the requirements to expend a PIP.
The first move by a general’s element and any group of which the general is a part.
Thoughts?

Hi Martin. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to Cold Ash this year, too many other commitments - sorry! You will of course be missed! Thank you for letting me know. See you soon we hope.

I am in, Diades. I have previously only been west of Oxford by mistake (leaving my briefcase on the train from London or falling asleep on the last one), this is a chance to put that right. Paul H PS I think you will find Cold Ash is pretty much due South of Oxford!

How are the numbers, Diades? I know you get a good turnout…and it’s a fun tournament. As of today, paid up attendees are: Mark Johnson Martin Smith Paul Murgatroyd Stephen Etheridge Connor Truby Tom Whitehead Paddy Myers Denis Grey Ian Pain Tim Rogers Ken Gordon Peter Ellis Lindon Paxton Mike Bennett Alan Davison Matt Davison Jason Collis Stephen Finn Richard Pulley Pete Duckworth Paul Clair Colin O’Shea Paul Hodson There are “doubts” from a few above as real life takes hold, but plenty of time yet. I really will have to “cap” at 24, we have 23 above, so if you want to secure a place, please get in touch and arrange payment.

Musing on the subject… I guess both generals should know the storm is coming or the sun is setting or whatever… Fix a number of bounds after the time all? (kaiphranos) Fix the number of PIPs rolled after the time call…regardless of what combinations of rolls by either player reaches that total…and no use of any “remainder”? The difficulty for the Tournament organiser is timing the absolute end of a round…

Macbeth has just mentioned this in replying to a post in the DBA Facebook group. "The other twist I use is to call a dribble stop. When time is up I call 'cease all moves now, adjudicate any shooting and combats. I find it preferable to 'Do not start another bound, which prevents suicidal charges by the bounding player because they know there will be no comeback in the next bound." I wondered whether it might be worth trying in competitions here in the UK. (Of course, suicidal charges can be exactly that if one's Kn(G) then ties in close combat with an element of Blades.) I like the idea a lot.

Results . 1 . Colin O’Shea. 31 pts 2 . Steve Finn. 27pts 3. Paddy Myers. 24pts 4. Martin Myers. 24pts 5. Russel King. 23pts 6. Jimmy Walton 17 pts 7. Keith Mcglynn. 15pts 8. Steve Etheridbe. 10 pts . Only Keith McGlynn used a non- Middle /late/ Patrician Roman . …not entirely true…I used Polybian Roman with allies and Colin used Marian Roman with allies and Stephen Finn used Early Imperial… All the same, thanks Keith for a very entertaining day; an excellent effort to run two competitions and play in (at least?) one; well done, sir!
