I am sure you don't need me to tell you that. Although I think I know how many heavy guns you can have

Actually we have 5 of the top 8 - Alasdair, Paddy, Dave A and the "Two Dons"!

Plus there are some serious "bandits" in Jim, Brian and Dave S (Ancients Usk winner 2013) and not forgetting that Gordon, Keith, Martin, Chris, Geoff and Ray are no mugs either!!

Last thought to Tim P - if you wanted to keep all the Central Londoners apart, shouldn't your draw have matched Martin vs Peter and Ray vs Geoff?!

See you all Sunday (complete with jet lag but a glorious Mauritian tan!,

)

good grief!! anyone who thinks i'm a bandit is sorely mistaken. (although i appreciate the "puff"). my result at Usk was entirely due to phil powell. for a truer reflection of my abilities ask gordon how i did (or didn't do) at campaign.

hehehe.

Anyone who can carry Powell to a comp win gets respect from me...

How did your Liver stand it?

Don

You are correct - my typo. Jim I know and it has always surprised me that he is not ranked higher... As for the others, the weekend will tell.

Absolutely fantastic Tim.

But where's my "Prince Rupert Wooden Spoon"?

Really looking forward to it.

Left behind at Bristol when he ran away with his tail between his legs no doubt.

I too am really looking forwards to it... (so is my wife just so I will stop going on about it...)

Hi Tim

thanks for a great enjoyable and relaxing day, doubt I'll ever see so many Scottish armies in one place again

cheers

I would also like to echo that. It was a great comp and a fun day. Wish I had taken the Covenantor 1644 Great and Close Siege of York option rather than the 1643 Parliamentarian list... (I have the figures for it as well...)

Full results and photos now posted on Madaxeman.com

I will endeavour to add all of the lists to the wiki as soon as I can !

A hugely enjoyable day with the games, camaraderie and (for me at least) a great result, enhanced by beer and curry - wargaming heaven!!!

Many thanks to Tim P for organising and running the day and for some awesome Trophies with the "Oliver Cromwell Shilling" Trophy holding pride of place on my Wargaming table. Also thanks to some great games against Dave (I've got 9 artillery bases in my Scots Covenanters) Allen and Don (The Don) McHugh - I definitely got lucky against Don (The Don) where in one round with about 6 equal melees ongoing, Don (The Don) didn't win a single one of them!!!

Next up - Southampton - what to take is the question as there will be lots of French and Alasdair using Irish with not a horseman in sight!!!

Great weekend in London.

Thanks to Tim for organising, Chris for putting me and Vicki up the night before, and to Don and Dave for two really good games.

Oooohh almost forgot to mention the excellent lunchtime curry.

Looking forward to next year.
