Note amendment to wording of Foederate Roman maximum armoured infantry, changed to pre-461 veterans option to avoid possibility of cheesy unprotected LF Bow from post 461 option as was worded.

Hey Phil,

Do we need to purchase tickets from anywhere to attend this event?

Do we need to purchase tickets from anywhere to attend this event?

Well, Milton Keynes are sometimes slow off the mark because its a very long standing competition, so:

Link to MKWS Campaign page: http://www.mkws.org.uk/index.php?s=campaign. May or may not be up to date

Teams of three, one player in each theme

Please notify me of your intent to enter. Email me at: philqw78@yahoo.co.uk

If you don't currently have a team I will try and match those that wish to enter but have no team so we get maximum participation.
Cost last year was £35 per person, £105 per team of three. Pay on the Day, so if I can't get you into a team you will lose nothing!
I'll collect that on the day at MK and let you know if the price has gone up

[philqw78]

Confirmed as pay on day with no price changes, hooray!
--
PLEASE bring some fivers on Saturday to make the payment process less painful.

Can team captains please collect their teams cash and deliver it to me on Saturday morning, thanks

Are Median and Phoenician allies allowed in (Up & Down like the) Assyrian Empire?

It takes the shine off my victory over David if they are not.

Couple of clarifications on the Neo-Hittite list:

The Aramean Spearmen are 6 points in the main list and 5 points in the allies?
>> The rules always take precedence - so 6pts is correct.

They also have a total of 6-40 bases and 12-64 bases on the same line? Which one is it ?
>> use 12-64
