One more player will make a nice round 30 in each FoGAM period.... and with your £5 in BHGS Cash, the de-facto entry price is now £45 - lower than it's been for several years.
Can you spare someone from the organisational team to even up the numbers?

And where's Paul Brandon this year?

Unreadable on my iPad mini. The list is a bluer; when I follow the instruction to tap to read the screen goes blank.

The only problem that I recall was the results being unpublished round by round and unfortunately they were recorded incorrectly - at least twice that we know of - which arguably skewed the draw and the results.

Interestingly, if we were to apply this year's scoring system to last year's results, there would be no change in the Ancients placings but in Medieval, Guillaume Fremont who was 3rd, would have won. He lost 5 to 20 in the first round which helped him to avoid most of the other top placed players - he only played 2 games vs someone who ended in the top 10. Result!

So throwing your first game could be a winning strategy? Discuss....
Throwing the first game against Dave_r... that's a new challenge ? :wink:

Too true. I am somewhat dismayed by the number of mounted that there appear to be. I should've stuck to my WotR list. :(

I guess the terrain could be quite important. 10 all anyone?

No terrain in Serbia. We only have steppe.

Are you sure? I've been there - lots of hills n stuff - very rough going.

And you still have to get past all of those nasty Swiss, French & German pikemen (as do I of course). Not to mention the HvA Knights (assuming you've gone for Armd again?)

See you mid table then?
