Sorry Peter I must have misunderstood the concept I thought this was about killer armies and killer players if we are now restricted to choice of what we put in our list post registration in the event then sorry i don't agree with that and regretfully withdraw my participation.

Regards Rex

No problem Rex.

Hey Peter !
Since SOA Medieval Castilian doesn't seem to attract more commanders, I would like to swap that for War Roses Yorkist. Would that be okay ?

Also a couple games up for Free Company, password: freecompany (for anyone by the name porsenna, GrudgeBringer or Jonno )

I'm surprised there isn't more interest in this army.

Peter what's the minimum number of players that have to pick an army to earn its way into the army semi-finals?

Cautious game that ended up surprisingly bloody. We didn't even cross swords until turn 10. Grudge took up a strong position on a hill but deliberately left his camp unguarded. I approached his position and took the camp. At the same time we began our skirmishing. I got the better of the light fight and with the camp, was ahead by 10vps. At that point I decided to try and attack the hill. I figured if I failed, I could break off and with the vp lead hold on for a draw. As things turned out the dice gods heavily favored me in my first few attacks up the hill. That and the vp advantage I started with carried the day. Grudge fought hard and actually broke my center to narrow the game which was closer than the score indicates.

On reflection i think i like this system of scoring better than the LoEG syetem. Minus the bonus for camp looting which is already too well rewarded and unfairly so with large armies.( I see no reason why more battlegroups equates to more bps it should have simply beenpt at a % of army value when it was increased. )

[Turk1964]

SOA Medieval Welsh V Medieval Welsh Tillius V Turk1964
Turk1964 (23) Tillius(19)
Turk1964 2VP for win
47 break points = 15 Vp
31% casualties = 6 Vp
Total 23VP

Tillius
42 break points = 14Vp
29% casualties = 5Vp
Total 19Vp

A great game that could of gone either way in the end.Both sides started slowly with Tillius Holding the hill and watching preceedings from atop and Turks troops making a carefull aproach.Both sides loosed arrows upon each other from a distance with minimal casualties. A cavalry charge by Tillius into his opponents Cavalry was at first a stale mate but soon turned and saw Tilliuses Cavilry running from the field.This brought each side closer together and after a hard fight from both sides and the body count rising.A Late surge by Tillius nearly saw a draw but Turk held on just.Thanks for an interesting and fun game.
Cheers Turk

Brawling battle with many twists and turns. In the end I succeeded in winning on the two flanks and losing the center (again -- story of my life). The right flank battle was against some bad terrain and I had an advantage in light troops there. On the left we had a swirling cavalry battle that went every which way. I think I had more heavy can in the fight and barely edged it out. Great game. Much closer than the score which got run up by a lot of gratuitous over kill on my part.
