This is fantastic work by "chaotic". Thanks, great fun to read Not my work. I must have downloaded it from somewhere, but I have no record of its source. Gary, l see that you are channeling Agamemnon now. Perhaps a Mycennean army in the wings? Cheers,

This evening the French were locked in a dramatic battle against an English expedition to the continent. The French were determined to cause another defeat on the English. Edward in contrast hoped desperately for revenge. The French army comprised an assortment of veteran pikemen, recent recruits, artillery and a significant number of men at arms who faced Edward IV’s veterans across a battlefield which was constrained by enclosures and fields sodden by recent rains. The French advance was swift with advances on both flanks and in the centre. Yet English archers in the centre were effective in causing heavy casualties first against the outnumbered French archers and then French men at arms who pressed too far forward. Then as the French left stalled English billmen broke into the French formations. Recently recruited French pikemen broke in rout and Gascon crossbow fled exposing other troops to the English who now sensed victory. Edward had indeed achieved revenge for his recent defeat. His campaign would continue... Another nice mini report Keith. Thanks for that. Cheers,

The minimum of 6xPs/LH/LCm with no dismounting is how I went with it in last October's MOAB. The range of armies fielded was very impressive. Cheers, Looks like I will be stealing that format then! Did you allow Allies? Regards Simon Hi Simon, No, allies were not allowed. There are plenty of armies across the 4 books that easily meet the criteria. Cheers,

Regards Simon I’d just do what they do in the US... an army which must field a minimum of 6xLH and/or Ps (no dismounting allowed on the LH) P The minimum of 6xPs/LH/LCm with no dismounting is how I went with it in last October's MOAB.

I glue individual figures to 10-12 nails, spray back undercoat and then batch paint the figures.
Cheers

And/or bring a historical matched pair to Bakewell or Alton or play set pairs and pre-arranged terrain with armies provided at the Northern Cup. I am also considering having the theme at the February Bakewell Winter Warmer as a weaker army only one. Not all tournaments are the traditional open, although these are still very much enjoyed. Simon Yes, indeed, let’s have a Wimp Wars theme like Tony Aguilar and the US boys have had this year at Historicon 👍 P And as we did at MOAB this year, with the mighty Nubians triumphant. Cheers,
