Northern Classic -- December 5th/6th

[dave_r]

You are all cordially invited to attend the Northern Classic in Manchester this year.

Due to issues with securing the club for Saturday mornings, we have a new venue! The event will take place on the 5th and 6th of December at the Forge, Unit 1, Kestrel Rd, Trafford Park, Stretford, Manchester M17 1SF. The Forge is a modern, comfortable, dedicated wargames centre within easy reach of the area’s motorway system.

Entry fee is as last year: £25.00 payable on the day. I don't see the need to set up an eventbrite system as we won't be collecting any money - please either email me direct or reply to this topic if you are planning on attending.

The theme for this year is Steppes: Any army from any book with Steppes as one of their territory types. For ease, the full list of such armies is as follows:

Book One
Early Libyan
Kimmerian, Skythian or Saka
Early Eastern Steppe Horse Cultures
Sarmatian
Bosporan
Later Pre-Islamic Bedouin
Graeco-Bactrian

Book Three

All games will be played in Steppe Terrain.
