Great thank you to Tim Childs and the Wargames Association of Reading for a great competition.

Thanks to my 4 opponents (Richard, Steve, Paul and Lance) for wonderful games even if I lost all of them.

Not sure about the 25mm, but the results for the 15mm FoG AM were:

Destrier
1. Dave Ruddock
2. Pete Dalby
3. Phil Powell

Roman
1. Graham Briggs
2. Graham Evans
3. Richard Collins

Thanks to all four of my opponents for four cracking games.

Another very enjoyable Warfare - thanks Tim!

I was a bit dubious about the theme but the mix of armies worked really well. I had 4 very enjoyable games vs Rob, Paul, Dave & Phil, all played in an excellent spirit - thanks guys.

Mr Ruddock tried to avoid his defeat by turning up late and pretending to be the umpire at every opportunity but to no avail - another great game though Dave - thanks.

Sadly I can't make Usk next year so it will be a long wait to the Challenge before I get my next run out.

I'm not entirely certain how much Mr Taylor enjoyed himself though

Comedy moment for me was Pete saying he didn't like Knight on Knight dice fests but went for it anyway.

Result of the impact was 6-4 to me.
Pete went disrupted and lost a base (obviously).
He then needed a 12 to kill my general, and did.
So then I disrupted
Melee phase 6 dice to 4 in my favour
I do 3 hits, Pete does 4.
I fragment and lose a base.
Pete rolls a one for the death roll.
I need a 12 to kill Pete's general and do. Pete fragments.
Next turn things go to plan, 3 dice to 2
2 hits to 1.
Pete loses a base and breaks

Pure skill

The game was a ten all draw. But that doesn't tell the whole story, I lost 9 of 12 and Pete lost 8 of 11. Great fun.

Mr Taylor never wants to be reminded of his Warfare 2013 performance again.

Thanks to Pete, Nik and Dave for the games I lost too.

Got home at 10.45pm last night and spent an hour poring over what my list could have been.

Thanks Pete for the helpful insights.

Rob

From the glory of champion to the depths of despair in one smooth season.

Been there Rob, as I said 3 years ago I came top at Roll Call (DBMM) and Steve Bainbridge second. 2 years ago we were duking it out on bottom table in the final round...

Tim Child

The game was a ten all draw. But that doesn't tell the whole story, I lost 9 of 12 and Pete lost 8 of 11. Great fun.

It certainly was Phil - and it reinforced my view that knight on knight action is to be avoided unless I can frag you first or come in with a flank charge soon after.

I did however take lots of good learning points from our game - not least the folly of taking on longbowmen when they have wall to wall fields. With the benefit of hindsight a flank march may have been a good idea?

All the results are up on the WAR site - go to http://www.wargamesassociationreading.c ... ns-24.html and scroll down to near the bottom of the page.

Happy reading, or at very worst I wish you all grim satisfaction...

Tim Child

They would be the 2012 results then Tim?

Cannot see any for 2013.

Rob

Sorry all - I sent the results out last Sunday and have been away all weekend at my father-in-law's hospital bedside, so didn't notice that those are 2012...

I have the 2013 results - contact me on my usual email address (t_and_e.child@tiscali.co.uk) if you would like a set of results, or even better if you can work out a good way to publish them here...

Tim

Sorry to hear about your father-in-law Tim.

Don't rush on my account. As you know...................."there's nothing to see"
