NZ films, Black Sheep?

Tarantino films? He's so far up his own arse if he lived in the antipodes he'd be antipodean to them.

"You hear me talkin' Hillbilly boy? I ain't through with you by a damn site. I'm gonna get medieval on your ass."

A sensible answer! , I'll come in medieval too....

I assume from price that accomodation is not included. Is there still a discount for juniors?

All the information you want is in the Britcon competitor information section,but in short accomodation isn't included and juniors are free

What if I don't want a free Junior?

Me too then. Is it too soon to start referring to the early period as the "kiddy pool"?

It's never too early to abuse other wargamers

Shaun has said he will be doing Medieval.

Dave ,new army???
Don't you just re badge the old one....

15mm Ancients: 800 points, armies up to 1066 AD, 60" by 40" tables

Is there any limitation about terrain size or number of pieces? Deployment distances?

No changes to the rules. None needed.

Well a large piece (16" circle) of terrain won't fit if you throw a 5 or a 6 because it can not be 8" from the long edge of the table.
Although may be this is intentional?

A large piece could still fit, but not a 16MU circle. Its better than saying it must fit, far too much terrain then. If people want to take a very large piece in the hope it doesn't fit they will have a 4/6 chance of getting stuck with it. Not a good gamble.

And compulsory terrain is a compulsory choice, not compulsory presence. Even on a 6x4 there are times when it will not go down.

I think 60x40 will really change the armies. Dom Rom will not have the room to manoeuver, Cavalry lancers will still be good but will not get loads of time and space to pick the right target and skirmishers will have even less time and space. All will still have their uses, but the troops whose use is being avoided now will really get to play. Pikes and spear will be very nasty. HF can be within 10 MU of enemy battle troops in the first pair of moves

Hi Phil

Has the compulsory terrain not needed to go down been ruled on as even at 650 points it usually has to fit on the table even if it doesn't meet the requirements.
