I'm staying at the Grail Court hotel.

Is it a 9am start on saturday?

9:00am enrollment and 9:30am start.

If you play Nigel Philips and Neil Sydney-Smith ask the latter to show you the boxes he keeps his figures in - I bet nobody can guess what they used to contain!!
No entries from Derby allowed!!

Great Comp, everyone should try and make it

Thanks for a great weekend

Agreed, an excellent weekend as ever.

Thanks to all of the organisers.

Like wise any idea the final placings?

Final Placings

Those crappy heavy foot armies. Only managed third, fourth and fifth.

You took Normans as a Heavy Foot Army!?

1066 with 2/3rds of the Milites dismounted.

In 2 of the games less than 10% of the army were mounted. We dismounted most/all to save running after all that girly LH rubbish.

Incidentally, our army failed on a number of levels. Namely:

- It was far too small. Only 12 BG's is a recipe for certain disaster.
- It was full of Undrilled foot
- We had no IC
- We had no Light Horse

Here is what we went for:

4 x TC
5x6 HF, Armoured, Undrilled, Superior, Offensive Spear
4x4 Kn, Armoured, Undrilled, Superior, Lancer, Swordsmen *
2x6 LF, Unprotected, Average, Bow
1x10 Mob, Poor

Clearly destined for failure

* can dismount as more offensive spear

Still tedious and one dimensional though, so not that unlike your light horse rubbish ? *

(insert comment about similarities to the general as desired)

Never let it be said that Tim isn't the voice of reason...

If I use Light Horse he complains
If I use Heavy Foot he complains

Presumably you would whine on if I used the Dom Rom swarm...

Perhaps it would be acceptable to use an army where every BG was a different type? Does such an army exist?

Well depending on how you want to define "a different type" I suspect the SHNC could do a list with no 2 BGs the same


Tim would still whinge of course

I was thinking more along the lines of

LF, MF, HF, LH, Cv, Kn, Cat, Cm

IC, FC, TC

There's a challenge in there for somebody with too much time on their hands....
