I'm okay with either as long as you lay off the garlic bread[th].

I think the consensus was very much for 40mm movement. On a 6x4 I 'think' that means 15mm deployment zones and terrain as well, but 40mm movement distances.

If thats correct I can post it on the website

The 15mm periods for Roll Call and Challenge are both already on the bhgs website

I might be bringing swedes, so, I guess I should keep off the hering?

Oh joy.. ...

So if you fight the two samurai armies that's atleast 2nd sorted ...

so many armies, so little time to paint them all.

I might have the extra cuirassiers painted by next year,

There easier? Spray black... Dry brush silver... Paint horse brown... One unit down out of 10

Should have gone gendarmes... Even quicker... Spray silver... Done

25mm finalized

700 points, 6x4 table, all distances calculated with 40mm per MU, apart from 12" flank zones and terrain piece sizes

Deployment zones... 10" and 15"???

Actually... they might need to be. 60cm would be in the other half of the table, wouldn't it ...

Nah, knowing me, I'll still manage 4th

Up to 12 and 4 respectively so far - we are also creeping close to filling the venue, so if you are planning on booking in, please hurry up or we may not be able to accommodate you !

STOP PRESS - ROLL CALL IS NOW ALMOST FULL !!

With a venue capacity this year of 140 places, we have now capped the entry numbers for all periods either at, or just over the current booking levels. This is to allow us to ensure that we have even numbers in each period.

We will be operating a waiting list, and with over a month to go there will no doubt be some dropouts too so please do put your name on the waiting list even if your chosen period is showing as full. You can put your name down on the wait list though any of our booking sites.

BHGS site still reads "We want to get as many big boys toys on the table as possible and so for this event movement distances, deployment areas, flank sectors and terrain sizes will all be using 1MU = 1" - effectively it's 25mm figures on a 15mm format table"

Kindly clarify movement MU.

Thanks
