Nik - which army is Oath of Fealty Venetians, is it Communal Italian?

Kevin

weve just lost a team member - anybody fancing joining Wycombe Warband for the weekend ?

Hi Paul

Not sure if I'd be free Paul but what period do you need someone to fill in for?

Rob

we are short of a wheelie bin jocky

Unless the website hasn't been updated there are still only 9 teams entered it would be nice to have some more to get to 2 full leagues at least
David

Where are the Venetians in Oath of Fealty please?

Si

Where are the Venetians in Oath of Fealty please?

If you don't know, what chance do we have?

Rules I am good at; lists much less so. I thereby claim a right to get confused over these at times as much s the rest of you.

I don't think the Venentians are there per se, but willing to be corrected - perhaps the organisers are meaning us to use a Communal Italian list.

Nick G is better than me for lists - Nick any ideas where Venetians live in the books? Planning to give Terry a test game against his army choice and wouldn;t mind knowing what Venetians looks like as an option.

Cheers

I take it that the army size is 800 points? Can't actually see it anywhere in the blurb. Of course, I'm willing to turn up with 2000...

Yes Graham 800pts - I am sure nobody would object to you turning up with 2000 though

I will mention it tonight to see if the site can be updated.

Uunfortunately 13 one of the Oxford teams has had to drop out

Are the traders there both days?

Yes.

There are not a huge number of traders (or at least there weren't three years ago which was last time I went) but they are there both days.

leagues and most of the runners and riders are on the MKWS website now
David

14 teams. A very good turnout.
