Interesting draw. A lot less shooty cavalry than I would have thought.
I'm additionally interested to see that the Dominate Roman and Spartacus Revolt are related. Love to see that family reunion!

My sentiments exactly, very surprised to see only 8 medieval armies.
At least I won't spend the whole tournament chasing shooty horse armies around.
Just wished I'd stuck with my Late Republican Romans now.

Hi Dave
Just me representing Halifax I'm afraid.
Late Republican Romans would have been good but I planned for more shooty horse armies and medieval armies.
It will be a good run out for my Catalans though and I think they have a good chance against most opponents.

Is there a sweepstake going ?
I'll have a £ on Mike Shepherd to win the event and a £ on Gordon Malcolm for Player With Luckiest Dice But Still Loses.

If Ian Speed is using the Ancient British Cassivelaunus option then a pint says he will win - sorry Mike

James and I had a lot of fun side-betting on the IWF. We should maintain this good sport which seems to add fun and increase alcohol consumtpion.
