R&R for BHGS Challenge

[nigelemsen]

I will play you Nigel and Ben can play Alasdair.

Bob

So that's, top and bottom slot sorted

[alasdair2204]

To quickly stop that discussion

Nice one Alasdair - I do like your style.

Or in other words - "Here it is - now what are you going to do about it?"

Thanks Pete

hope you are well, Nigel is also underestimating his army, I know I have just boxed it up, he has 10 units of warrior bow

take care you lot, see you next week

Alasdair

That said I would be surprised if Rays or Simons lists are much different

[kevinj]

Since others are playing this game, and I've seen everyone's list*, here's mine:

2 x 6 Samurai Cavalry
1 x 4 Hatamoto Guard
4 x 6 Samurai Foot
2 x 8 Ashigaru Spear
2 x 8 Ashigaru Bow
2 x 6 Ashigaru HW

* I can confirm that Alasdair knows Nigel's list better than Nigel.

** And Dave knows mine better than I do!

[daveallen]

4 x 4 Samurai Foot

Hmmm, an illegal list from the list checker!

I'm assuming they're actually sixes. Mostly HA?

As for my guys:

Archers

Well if everyone is doing it my army is: -
3 x Cavalry (2 Ukrainian with a Ukrainian General!!!!)
2 x LH
7 x Musket/HW
2 x Guns

I have played Ben's and as usual Foot heavy.

Bob

[titanu]

Kev I think you have made a mistake:

Paul Kitcher - Aviz Portugese

What was said was Paul will 'ave 'is Portugese

[david53]

Tuareg = Lots of Camels

Aaa argh ! Work trip means I'm not now going to be able to make it I'm afraid...

[TimChild]

(Apologies for cross-posting in the FOGR forum, but I don't know whether everyone is reading both threads for Challenge)

One of the joys of organising a large event is juggling the numbers for the weekend. I think that I may have set a new personal record this time, with 9 competitions of which 6 have odd numbers!

Two self-balance as we have a floater already. However, the other four are FOG R, DBMM, FOW (early War) and Bolt Action. I never want anyone to feel pressured to move out of their first choice event, but if there is anyone out there who would be willing to move, could you let me know?

Thanks,

Tim

Work as a pirate, apparently?

[happy_hyme]

Dear Tim,

I can bring a DBMM army, something Chinese, but I'm horribly out of practice.

As I'm in the FOGR comp that would solve 2 of your problems.

Regards, Brian Holmes.

[gibby]

I can also float between FoGR and DBMM if needed.

cheers
Jim

[alasdair2204]

I am also bringing a Chinese army for Dave Fairhurst for FOG R as an alternative

Alasdair

[rbodleyscott]

I'm now "solent Southampton". Not oxford club

Most sane people are happy to say Oxford just to avoid Alasdair and Ben in rounds 1 & 2!!!

Don

Why would you want to avoid them in Round 1? Surely good strategy to play Alasdair in the first round, thus improving your draw for the rest of the tournament, and you can't play him again..

[TimChild]

How much is it worth to arrange this, Richard?

[alasdair2204]

I am happy with that if the umpire can arrange it accidentally

to be fair that's more to do with Richards army than with Richard

cheers

Alasdair

[nigelemsen]

as an aside on extra's armies being brought... i have my mongols/barbarian horde mounted army in the car, left over from thurs night... its up as an army that can be borrowed if required.. it will do fogam/r and may be dbmm... as i say its an extra army if there is need to be a bit of last minute emergency re-organising on the tomorrow/sunday.

for clairity: I'm staying FOGR... looking forward to giving those warriors a run out....

cheers

Thanks to Bob M, Kevin, Martin, Paddy and Nigel. The last game against Nigel was amazing, breaking 20 BGs is a mammoth task

Thanks to Tim and David for the organisation.

Congrats to Alasdair, Ben and .....

Congrats to Alasdair, Ben and .....

It was a hard fought game and very enjoyable game with many twists and turns... (Usually your armoured cav wing bearing down )...

Moving 20 Bg's is a mammoth task may go for a small army next time.. around 18 BGs ....
