All,

Here are the 2026 Victor Ludorum points after two rounds:

3 Jerry
11 Dene
5 Bob
6 Chris
1 DavidB
8 Paddy
0 David F
2 Bruce
3 Paul
10 Keith
4 Andy
8 David E

Well, Paddy won handily with his borrowed army, seriously though well done Paddy. Also as predicted before the day started the two Henrician armies took the last two places - arguably proving nothing more than that the rules are a good reflection of technological developments.

Anyway, full results ...

Now joined by Jerry Bray making 8.

Any more?

Hi there,

new players are always made welcome at Oxford and we promise to be gentle! Do you live near enough to Oxford to get to one of our upcoming Monday club meetings (1800 to 2200)? If so we could fix up a practice game for you or you could partner one of us to learn the ropes a bit. We have a ...

Seven entries already!

So, room for up to 5 more.

A great day of gaming. Thanks to all for support throughout the year.

We start again next year on February 8th.

Tom

All done for another year! See th3 separate post for results of round 5 today.

Here are the results for the 2025 Victor Ludorum. It was very close with at least 4 players having a fighting chance at 5h3 start of the day. The final placings are:

11 Tom
29 Ray
12 Jerry
25 Dene
10 Bob
6 Chris
12 ...

Absolutely, I think that reflects the position of a number of people and none of us, at least not me, has 25mm or 15mm armies for every possible theme. That is the reason for the proposed structure so that there would always be both size competitions available provided at least 4 people wanted to do ...

All,

Here are the thoughts on a different approach to 25mm and 15mm games for 2026.

Noting that 25mm events will always have reduced numbers of entrants there exist the possibility of all 5 of our events being in both 25mm and 15mm in parallel. The idea would be to allow up to 8x25mm entrants and ...

David,

I was just thinking that there was still time to review the themes/ running order for next year to be sure everyone was happy. There is also the idea that we could make all the events available at both 25mm and 15mm. I have heard from Chris in favour of that and Ray and I developed the idea ...

Dear all,

Here is the draw for round 1 on Sunday 14th. As we do not have even numbers of the two sides I have done it simply by date and keeping club members apart

Tom Catholic 1562 vs Chris Catholic 1563
Huguenot David 1576 vs Dene Spanish 1572
Huguenot Paddy 1577 vs Paul Spanish 1574
Ray ...

All,

Our December event is not too far away. It is 25mm scale 600 point competition with rules as follow:

March 1562 to April 1598 - French Wars of Religion
Fought between: Protestants, Huguenots and England against Catholics, Catholic League, Spain (any
option allowed). Special rule for Huguenot ...

Yes, that was the vote.

Tom

All,

discussions at the event yesterday have confirmed the details in my posting of 10th September with one change; the Army List book used for one of the 15mm events (to test whether the approach of using the books to define the theme works) will be Cities of Gold.

Dates are currently under ...

As you can all see I struggled and have concluded, for the future, that I will choose armies with max possible number of superior troops and the maximum possible number ...
