Britcon 2014 Thread - including the Nemesis Challenge

[kevinj]

Not in terms of numbers, we're back to 24!

[davidandlynda]

Must be time for Phils runners and riders, made all the more challenging as some of us are not using our normal forces
David

[madaxeman]

We'll looking at the Scottish players the guessing is really random. Eric Thomson has pretty much used the same army every year at Britcon and French Ordannance is not it!!

[grahambriggs]

Perhaps not entirely random for the English. I have used Seluecid before in a team competition. We played MAWS and Ruddock surrendered 25-0 in 90 minutes. He claimed bad luck. The sort of bad luck that left his column of Galatian warband hit by elephants with overlaps on either end, it seemed to me. If you put them in a stupid situation, you can't blame them for fragging at impact.

It says random and guesses at the top.

People sometimes change as well, so I give them the opportunity to.

Even the Scottish can change, come September

you could put your own more educated guesses in

[davidandlynda]

Sorry still not a sensible choice,in fact probably worse than normal
David

[AlanCutner]

Ilkhanid! Where did that come from. Not a list I've ever used. Though not confirming or denying.

You like shooty cavalry armies, but this one has decent LH and some knights, which I think your last Britcon army lacked IIRC

Mochica then

[madaxeman]

Graham Roberts just added to the 15mm Ancients pool ...

Puts us on 21 and 39 in the Medieval/Ancient pools - numbers are now level with last year overall in FoGAM !

[davesaunders23]
