Well on the basis Lynette has used Japanese for the last 3 years, if she hasn't submitted her list by now (and she must have enough Japanese lists on the computer), it could mean she's dithering on another "killer" list rather than her stock list!!
Unless of course she's already submitted her list and RBS is waiting for another Japanese list?!
Don
p.s can't see Japanese as a good list with loads of late and TYW armies!!

But you do have one p+S unit... You'll be fine... I'm sure a cunning plan around loose really badly in the first game against a horse army and they will scoot away up the tree... Well thats my plan
Or distract them with your lovely painted figs... what brush size did you use for the tartan grid please?

I doubt that. Seeing as I've won only one game in several singles competitions in the last 15 months I'm hoping to 1. have a jolly time, 2. drink beer, 3. avoid coming last this year, 4. double my number of victories for 2012-13 i.e. win 1 game!! This year I'm bringing my lucky mascot

. It's worked so far as I thought I'd be missing Britcon due to work but this has been delayed thankfully.

I will try to get the July Rankings done at the weekend in case they are needed for the seeding. Of the UK's (oh alright England and Wales) top ranking players as per the BHGS Rankings, ten of the top 15 are in the RnR above, and two others have a reasonable excuse as they are part of the organising committee... We also have the reigning world champion and 8 other players ranked in the top 50. We also have two players not ranked, good to see Frederick and Jim. If spottydog ever sent in rankings from Scotch competitions I strongly suspect that we would have two or three who would feature in the top 20...

I feel that this years Britcon is going to be a very tough one. Might need a larger bottle of scotch....

much silence from the many horsed one! can it be he's busy processing army details in the massive Harley brain computer and analysing the stats its churning out in a pre basho training exercise? or is he preparing away from it all in some mystical retreat far from a press brat pack manic for details about how he'll wrest back his "precious" from that munro imposter. john gave me a lesson in how good pistol mounted are against shot in difficult last night although his uncharacteristic forum silence following last nights club night is a fair indication of the result of our final round of britcon preparation. hunter.

If you notice that your Club details are wrong please let me know. This includes where you know you are a member of the same club as someone else on the list but the two are shown differently. I think I've caught all of these (including the one where 4 members of the same club all named it differently) but If I've missed any this may result in you playing your club mate in the first 2 rounds.
Anyone claiming to be a member of both Perth and Oxford will be treated with appropriate derision.

I think I have more flags than you - but fewer units. Far too many mounted out there for me, so I think I'll be joining you at the bar for some anaesthetic fairly often...

The mounted dont worry me too much, its the impact foot will be my challenge... Although, yep i think ill get plenty of bar "oh if i had one more unit..." post game reflection
We'll you did turn over my Later Swedish mounted list at the final Rampage... so not all mounted is bad..
