MOAB 2013 - 5th-7th October, 2013 in Sydney

[ravenflight]

Hi All,

I'll be running the MOAB 2013 15mm 800AP Field of Glory:Renaissance comp. It will be an open competition with BYO terrain.

Anyone welcome. As unlikely as it may see, international visitors would be a real bonus.

[ravenflight]

Just to advise that the MOAB site is up. It is possible for people to register, so if you're interested please show the flag.

I'm going to be there - naturally, I'm running the damned thing - and will be using Later Louis XIV.

So, build your Louis killer army and lets get going

Hi All,

Registered back on 19 June.

Decided to paint a new army for the event. So it will be Polish and Lithuaian Commonwealth.

See you there.

Possibly the first use of Poles in a comp for a year or 2 - well done to that man - brave choice. Wish I was ballsy enough to try it.

Hi Guys,

I like a challenge in tournaments and as a rule use a new army each time.

This is my first FOG R tournament so it's going to be all new for me.

And at the end of the day if I perform poorly I can always blame my army instead of the real reason my poor decisions.

Excellent Stephen - thanks for registering - if you know anyone else get them interested too

I have a rather inane Louis XIV list if you want to try it, I love playing it thought It has yet to play in a singles competition but has done well in one of games

Can't remember exactly (will check when I get home), now checked and corrected

but goes something like this

4 TC's
5 * 3 Dragoons
2 * 2 Heavy Guns
2 * 2 Ave 5+1 French Foot
1 * 4 Superior Carbine Horse
1 * 4 Elite Determined Horse
3 * 4 Superior Determined Horse if its only 3 also has a light horse

I'll check when I get home

Just a thought

As you are new to this, if you took Alasdair's foot and artillery away and made him play against a 'normal' 800 point army it changes neither the result nor the number of battle groups of yours that he destroys...

Thanks Aladair... I think thanks are in order, but I can't see how I could work that list. Maybe someone of your skill would do well, but I think I'd come up with a LOT of 25-0 results... and not the way I want 25-0

Besides, I have my list already drawn up and have to get cracking on the final paintjob.

Stephen, if you (and others) wish to join the FieldofGloryAu@yahoogroups.com.au it would probably be a good place to consolidate questions etc.

Hi I assume you have all the info you need for painting but if you need some more feel free to email me at alasdairharley@hotmail.com as I put it all together when I did my list

cheers

Finished painting my last batch of Cossack cavalry today (only the camp to go), should be an interesting historical match up for the Poles!

Yeh mate, I will definitely need help . I'll contact you privately... but not tonight - it's bedtime and I have to think the questions through

I guess one quick question - does any regiment have green facings? I really want to do green facings on a grey jacket.

Basically my army thus far is "Colour" troops are guard (French Guard, Swiss Guard & Irish (I know Irish are not technically Guard, but I painted them that way because they stand out AND they would be fairly elite AND you are allowed 18 bases of Guard, so 3 regiments). "Grey" troops are Line, and "Grey" troops with the 12 apostles are militia.

[alasdair2204]

Yes drop us a line

I used my Irish as Line and to be fair as I only use mounted after that I didn't need the rest but for the sake of the rest I have a few other bits and pieces, I manages to get material flags for them all so they don't look to bad

cheers

Come on guys, it's only 5 weeks until MOAB - get your entries in.

[ravenflight]

Hi all,

Well, we have 4 officially registered and a further 4 who have mentioned to me the desire to register. Assuming they DO actually register (one of them is a Cossack player, and we KNOW they are always keen for a fight - even if they DO turn up late) we will have a quorum and the comp will definitely go ahead.

So, if you were delaying entering for fear of it not going ahead, fear not - get your entries in.

I don't have a riders and runners list yet, but will post it when entries close.
