Honesty bar,

Does that mean when they sell you a meat pie, it has meat in it?

Doesn't say what sort of meat. As a "hoof Meister", maybe you should recognise one of your knackered old nags!

Could you fix my surname please. It's LeRay-Meyer.

Right letters, just the wrong order!

Can you get mine right then - it's Don not don!

Well another great weekend of FoGR gaming!! After a total of 45 hard fought games, The Escape Committee (Tim Porter, Dave Allen and Simon LeRay-Meyer) have come away with the winners prize after a fantastic last round notching up an impressive 55pts to leapfrog MKWS (Don Avis, Richard Bodley-Scott and Jim Gibson), who having led the competition from Round 1 had to settle for the runners-up spot!

Congratulations too to the 3 Period winners, Tim Porter in period 1 (proving that the Dutch, despite wasting 30pts on a ship which didn't appear 4 times out of 5, were viable! ); Jim Gibson in period 2 with a steam roller Later Austrian Imperial - a bit like Jim really but with more class! ) and of course a magnificent win in Period 3 by ME, having taken a Malay army which was all average, unarmoured foot, no cavalry and 2 nellies, to face off a never-ending wall of armoured Rajput lancers in the open backed up by lots of guns (not forgetting Dave "every base has a bow" Allen's Amazonian Forest Tribes monster )!!!

The full results are below



On a personal front, I had 5 great games memorable for lots of different reasons, Steve's appalling shooting dice in game 1; Bob, with no other targets for his artillery, shooting at my guns and throwing 3 double 6's in a row until on the 3rd go I rolled the dreaded 1; Chris's charge with his lancers uphill into defended guns and his being amazed with my very mobile GC who leapt from BG to BG recovering their disorder; Dave's "wall of bow" and lastly Kevin's Mughal army which I spent many moves trying to outmanoeuvre and ending up with a 10-10 draw. - thank you all.

Roll Call next for me on 21st/22nd June in Cranfield - I hope to see as many of you there as possible

Thanks to all my opponents for great games and putting up with my language when the dice gods left me.
I tried my hardest to get Forlorn Hope into last place and save Burton the honour but Ben kept scoring enough points to stop me!!!

I presume that the Dave Parrish in Pool 2 is the same Dave Parish of Brighton / Reigate that I have in the rankings.

Yes - the one and the same!

Yes if you see any combination of Dave or David plus Parish or Parrish plus Brighton or Reigate in a FOG:R comp then it is the same person (me!)...... my preferred version is Dave Parish of Reigate (just because my other club, Brighton, don't go to comps)

PS I'm not sure that I want to claim the Campaign results though - just give them to that loser David Parrish of Brighton!!!
