Thanks for the info. Assuming that the FoGR is quorate, let me have the results and I will include them in the rankings (unless Alasdair wins again when I might not...)

Unlikely as we are taking a silly army, well silly by my definition, ie it contains foot and no horse with any type of armour and of course some artillery to keep Paddy happy

cheers

Alasdair

We are in the realms of typical wargamers ,IE not many entries yet, I know we are close to Britcon but if you are planning on coming can you send entries asap,at the very least the caterer would like to know

It is a chance to knock the oxford players off top spot.

With everyone concentrating on Britcon it has been decided to extend the date for entries until Sunday 21st August. That still gives you 2 weeks to send our lists to the list checker.

There were four armies entered from Duty & Glory. They occupied the bottom four places.

It might have helped it I had read the thread more closely

It looks like they are listed by date of the army.

And a nice variety of armies they are.

You need to move further south for a whole load of reasons not just toy soldiers...

If you do, shout out as I am always looking for revenge...
