Nothing to panic about, just children problems.

As I haven't played since November last year, I will try and play as quickly as possible.

Richard has confirmed for Sunday.

Thank to Brendan for partnering me... And Don for organising... Any chance of final positions/pts please?

And of course to birthday boy Ray for our big win... :)

It's alright Nigel, they got their points back against Pete and I!
Thanks everyone for four good games (34 points, after recount, honest)!
Pikes, they're not as good as spears... Who knew? ;)

Big thank you to Don for organising a wonderful competition using different armies and just using the rules and official amendments with no competition specific rules.

As I had forecasted earlier Ray and I submarined over the weekend and met Nigel in round 2. That meeting gave Nigel's his chance to beat up Ray. Unfortunately it worked in our favour although I would have like a couple more points to give us 2nd place.

Thank you to our four opponents - Alasdair and Paddy, Nigel and Brenden, Will and Pete and finally Lynette and Kevin. 4 great and friendly games even if we were smashed in 2 games.

Thank you everyone for coming, sorry the games were shorter than expected.
Richard tells me he just ignored the instructions given out in the past and just played on. We will know for another year.

Thanks Don, great weekend.
Pete has been admitted to hospital and has been put onto IV anti-biopics. Hopefully he will be on the mend soon.

Will, let Pete know that we all send our best wishes and that he has a speedy recovery.

Other than Alasdair all the others of us were very close.

We all know that Richard does what he wants rather than what someone tells him.

Sorry I think I completely missed that Pete was not well, please send on my best wishes for a speedy recovery.

My comment about timings was intended to help whoever runs it next year, as I felt an extra 1/2 hours play would have prevented so many draws.

Had I realized, I to would have not done as I was told.
