Does that only apply to European armies?

It depends. If I don't think it will break the theme I may make exceptions, but I am not going to let anyone "clever" pull a fast one. What did you have in mind?

What about the Japanese?

Last game for 1st and 2nd??

Results:



Thanks to all who took part for making the umpire's job so easy.

Big thank you to Richard for organising the competition.
Thanks also to my partner Stephen Stead for ensuring I did not make the mistake that would have meant we lost a game - won all 4 games and still came second!!!!!
Finally but not least a thank you to our four opponents - Jon and Pete, Richard and Tom, Ray and Keith and Wayne and Lynette (just ask Lynette about have great dice rolling when she lost a BG in one turn when she had nearly smashed ours to pieces).

Echo Bob's thanks and no I did not lend Lynette Bob's dice for her spectacular implosion.
