I have already donated my list.

Don't know exactly what was in Paul Brandon's list, but it was something like

1 x IC, 3 x TC
2 x 4 Cv, Armoured, Superior, Undrilled, Lt Spr, Swd
2 x 4 LH, JLS
184 x 8 MF, Superior, Unprotected, Bow
Not so much a swarm as an infestation. Presumably you meant 14?

I think that Dave was trying to be humourous.

There would definitely have been some light spear foot in Paul's army as they are compulsary and I think he had a BG of lancers as well.

As for CN being a swarm army, if BGs of 8 undrilled MF make a swarm then I can't really see how you can make an undrilled army without it being accused of being a swarm.

Fill it with LH

The unfashionable half of Storm of Arrows can!

Back from Britcon, I wish thank for the pleasure of playing with them: Steve Murton, Ian Mckay, Martin Wirt, John Munroe, Matt Iverson and Pete Dalby.
A special thank to JD and all the organisation team for this faboulous tournament! Certainly the best of the world. I hope to be back next year to defend my new, hard fought, title

This year I played with french ordonnance: only 13 BG, no LH and no swarm of undrilled MF (only one!).
My most heroic BG this tournament was the dreaded French Poor Pikemen

who had routed at least 5 ennemies BG!

My army :
IC Louis II de la Tremoille
2*TC
2*8 Swiss Pikemen HF Sup, Dr, Pk
1*12 French Pikemen HF, poor, dr, Pk
1*8 Franc archer MF,poor,dr,LB
2*8 Ordonnance Archer MF, Av, dr, LB, sw
2*4 Ordonnance Knight Kn, Sup, dr, L, sw
2*4 Handgunner LF,Av,Hg
2*4 Crossbowmen LF, av, CB
1*4 Bidets LF, av, Jls

Well it'll be cheaper for you next year, so no excuses

Oh, I want to come back at any price!

But sometimes my job is a burden

Of course - here you go:

IC
2 x TC
1 x 4 LF, Avg, Undr, Unpr, Lt Sp , Jav
1 x 4 LH - as above
3 x 4 HF, Sup, Dr, Arm, HW
3 x 6 MF, Avg, Dr, Prot, LB, Sw
4 x 8 MF - as above

I hadn't used the army for 2 years and never in this composition but it performed pretty well - it was just me who let it down in the first game with poor terrain choice, poor deployment and poor tactics. After that it got better.

Good to know Olivier is coming back next year - I'll just remember not to commit any generals to combat!

pbrandon · Post by **pbrandon** » Tue Aug 17, 2010 3:56 pm

1 x IC

2 x 6 MF Prot Def Sp Poor

2 x 4 Cv Prot LTSp/Sw Ave
2 x 4 LH JLS Ave
1 x 4 Cv Arm Ln Sw Sup

The ELO pages are the results and rankings pages produced by Martin Wirt and Karsten Loh

Is that an uptick of Bow from last year's challenge list?

pbrandon · Post by **pbrandon** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 8:21 am

Not from last year's challenge list as I didn't play there, but probably up from the last one you saw Dan. Not by much - good spot!

I'd be very interested to see the Aztec list that was used in the Late competition. Does anyone have it?

Curious did your opopnents come in in the same old way or did they think about how to take you out? For me the CN remind me a touch of the DBM bowmeister, really good against the unprepared. Not suggesting you don't run it skillfully, which obviously you do, but more curious from the evolution of the playing pools.
