Play up Pompey

Following on from their spectacular success against the army of Brucius Uglymax on Saturday, the army of Pompey the Great took on Julius Ceasear in a no-holds barred 1200 pts aside with free camp, IC general and 4TC sub-generals thrown in for good measure this Sunday. Bill & Mark taking on Josh & myself in a doubles game to teach some rules and have fun. But mainly avoid honey-do lists.

Highlights of the game saw newcomer Josh manage to delay Cesear's right flank hook for long enough with a couple of units of LH Jav & a bg of LS Cv, whilst both sets of legionaries tangled in the middle.

Pompey's boys dominated as they destroyed 5 bg of Romans without losing a man themselves as Cesear's middle evaporated. Skillfully led by the great man himself. ( ie we rolled some superb dice ! )

All in all 25 bgs a-side on a 10 x 5 table was a lot of fun, and many thanks to the others for making it so.

Next time we intend doing a Principate Roman civil war with 1400 pts and 5 generals aside. This time turning up with 700 points each, and then working out sides with high-low dice rolling to determine partners.

Pompey beating anyone these days is proving a tricky thing.

However, the chances of Portsmouth beating anybody in the Premier League currently stand somewhere between Slim and Non-Existent.

And Slim is out of town....

Though they do have an infinitely higher chance than Newcastle

We will have the last laugh.... When we go bankrupt and they expunge our record from the league, the likes of Arsenal & co will lose 6 points, Liverpool will sail up the table as we managed to beat them this season.

Doom & gloom, 2 for the price of 1 !

Newcastle ranked amongst the top 20 wealthiest clubs in the world for last season. Not bad for a relegated team.

By the methods they used for thelr calculation, Greece rated in the 20 wealthiest countries in the world last year...
