At this year's Britcon there was a definite upward trend in number of BGs

Interestingly the two 15mm periods were won by some of the smaller (in BG terms) armies in the comp.

When I am able I will try to do a full analysis but Graham Evan's swarm Dominate only mamanged 4th or 5th while the early period was won by a 12 BG army.

Second place had 15, third place 13. God is on the side of the bigger battalions.................of lancers.

this would an interesting analysis as I practiced this week with my son and our hopefully 25mm armies for Roll call. (He is taking Principate an dI was trying out various options on Dominate roman>14 BG's) both game son handed my army its bum on a plate...

and in all games my unit of CT did the classic.. disrupted on impact, fragmented in combat and died in his bound when charged... mmmm...

Joking apart... one of the major successes was his using of bg's of amoured 4x HF/MF with the two LF supports. The not loosing of combat die made the difference where as my BG's of 4 and no supports felt the effects.

ya...the little 4paks of Roman heavies with two LF added for what, 10pts, is one of the best deals in the game. That army is next on my list to paint.

Oh great another Romanish force I have to try and figure out how to defeat.... and it will be centuries later than the Selucids too......

MIght have to look at a new army for next year I guess

Before doing a full analysis are you going to publish the full results??

You'll have to wait a short while for those whilst we recover

So you need lots of BGs to win in FoG tournaments do you....
