[alasdair2204]

Can byron and use it as our excuse for a rubbish final placing on the day

Attack! is less than two weeks away. Any word on what armies are going to be used or is everyone still practice to find the best worse army.

Was planning to have no practice, then I won't know just how crap my army is

Don

[viking123]

Well Ben has submitted our army list to Richard so by the end of this weekend he should be able to put the runners and riders out.

Tried the Early Restoration Portuguese, Later Ottoman Turkish and Later Spanish (Only in Spain or Italy) but could not find the correct formation. Certain the Later Ottomans will be popular with all those guns.

Finally let Ben decide on the army. Have to wait and see what happens.

and finish on Sunday?

Dave

[viking123]

Dave,

I can not see anything on the website but I am aiming to be there by 8:45 am for a start just after 9:00 am. I expect Richard can tell us when he is going to start the games.

@Bob: Has Alasdair given you our (Byrons and Is) Cav units? He is lending us 4x Battlegroups...

Hi Nigel,

no I haven't I thought they were for Britcon but will bring them down to Devizes for you, do you need 4 in addition to Byrons army or 4 including Byrons army

cheers

Alasdair

[viking123]

Alasdair,
I did not think you were playing.

If Nigel had asked I might have been able to lend him and Byron 4x Battlegroups of cavalry for Attack!

So Nigel and Byron are using Ottomans as other wise it would be horse for Attack!

I am not playing Paddy is away and I couldn't find anywhere to stay otherwise I would have played, I'll still come on the Saturday to the show

so does he need figures or have you sorted them

Cheers

Alasdair

[viking123]

Spoke to him last night at Abingdon and have agreed to bring the figures with me next Saturday.

You will not have to get up so early to get to Devizes by 9:00 am.

Bob

[alasdair2204]

Cheers Bob

Alasdair

[nigelemsen]

Hi Alasidair

Could we please borrow figs for byrons army. Bob has kindly offered to lend me the 4x BGs of mounted for Devises we need for our army and i am going to use these for my scots cavalry for britcon.

Sorry, for the confusion.

Cheers

[donm2]

I am kind of feeling left out

No scots in my Britcon army.

Don

[alasdair2204]

None in mine

if it makes you feel better

cheers

Runners and Riders

Some duplication. Not surprising given the narrow theme...

At least I have the excuse that Tom and I used Later Venetian Colonial at Devizes before (in 2011) and they were crap...



And Alasdair is lurking with Ottomans, and may appear if anyone fails to turn up.

[viking123]

Ben and I are both going to bring a TYW Peninsular Spanish army so we can divide into two singles if a team does not turn up.
