OK, Trade & Treachery is now in the final tweaks by Richard and I stage and so it is time to look ahead - yes already Many thanks for the help on T&T - as ever it has been invaluable.

This is the draft running order for the third book. If anyone feels capable of drafting any of these lists (or just wants a new challenge ) could they please say so ASAP. You will see the deadline is excruciatingly tight As ever list names and dates can be played around with and we can combine or split as is sensible. For example the Ottomans have a cut off here of 1625 and a list to 1700 in a later book, however, it may be more sensible to just run this one to the rules end date.

Nik, I can profess little or no knowledge of many of the armies shown but in order to show willing I can have a crack at the Knights of St John if that would help at all. If you twist my arm I would (on the basis of my borderers experience) have a go at the Cossacks.

Well the Danish & Hungarian are almost done, not sure I can finish them this week as I've little time, but the pure lists without blurps might work.
Imperial Austrians certainly need extending as since the Caroline list does not really include Germany. Probably requires two lists though as it will become a monster otherwise.

Just out of curiosity, since we started including Peasant War lists... will the Jelali revolts also get coverage?
(Nope not by me, sorry.)

Consider your arm twisted - unless anyone else jumps in to say that it a subject they know about

No desperate rush yet

Two lists are fine.

Could be an interesting project if we have time ... so rather unlikely

But will they have watched Yul Brynner and Tony Curtis in Taras Bulbas!!!
John

I don't know - but I wonder if we can get a list from "Abdul Abulbul Amir"

Off Topic, but noting the Safawids...
The various minor Persian states that established themselves during the decline of the Ilkahnids and before Timur and again after the Timurids went into decline... those aren't really covered by any list in FoG:AM I take it?

Can anyone who has volunteered to draft a list for this book please submit a draft ASAP - end of the month at the absolute latest. We really have little time I'm afraid.

Karsten - will any of the lists you are doing cover Livonia?

Hmm, yes gotta finish those blurps, the lists themselves are done (I'm starting to hate those blurps I find it completely impossible to hit the right length... they either end up extremely compact and non-informative or 6+ pages long <sigh>).
Oh and nope, nothing to cover Livonia (I've Hungarian, Early Imperial Austrian, Later Imperial Austrian, Scandinavian [wasn't intended but came out as a byproduct of the Early Danish] and Early Danish).
I will send the list as soon as I get home later this week, blurps might take a few days more to finish.

As ever, very much appreciated

John - still awaiting the Knights of St John.

Getting urgent to say the least.

Please say if it isn't going to happen.

Nick I will give it my best shot before I go away for a week on Sunday morning. Is it ok if I give you it on a plain sheet of paper rather than the boxed format? It is moving all the lines that kills my computer skills.

No worries - I'm happy to do the table thing for any lists you do.
