Hope I'm not stealing anybody's thunder but here is the list of available options for Campaign. Then there's a vote (some democratic process instituted by people like Nik who believe people have a choice) and then we are told what we can enter. As Dave Ruddock is King of our team he will decide what I can play. He already decided what I can vote for.

Here's the choice for those of you who believe in such things

I never voted for any of these. (see above)
IMO
The Sea peoples looks interesting having more than 1 viable army.
Mark Anthony will be a catafract fest.
And Nevsky is Mongol Horde.

Good job there's a pike army to take to the cataphract fest and a contact cavalry army to take out the Mongol horde. But yes, I fear you may be correct.

Agree that the Sea Peoples looks a good mix.

Looking at accommodation for MKS Campaign on the weekend of July 9/10, something belatedly occured to me.

Dates you might want to avoid when planning a weekend event in Milton Keynes.

Number One: The British Grand Prix at Silverstone, 15 miles away.

.. this could be tricky ..

Hi

Can I just clarify whether Numidians are allowed as an ally with the Romans in this competition.

Thanks

Rob

Yes and no respectively

Is that yes I can clarify and no I can't use them?

Bah humbug, there goes my grand plans!

Rob

"4. An ally may only be selected if it appears in the list of armies for the period."

So no Numidians. However, Later Jews (Go Herod!!) and Early Armenians ~are~ in the list and either can be taken as allies for the Late Republican Romans. Just sayin'

Peter

That would be my plans as well then,not so great minds think alike
David

Did you mean trying to take the Numidians David?

I'm glad Kevin Johnson told me I couldn't as I was facing him next week with them before submitting the list.

Rob

I did ,that elephant BG would have been useful
David

Hi everyone

Does anyone know where I can find the times of games and the number of games.

Thanks

Rob

The first competition round starts at 9.00 each day. That's the same time that Campaign opens to the public, so you'll need to show up a bit earlier than the punters. It's a roped off area in Middleton Hall, which is at the north end of thecentre:mk

Last year, getting into thecentre:mk at all before 9am was problematical. The opening hours are 9am on Saturday, 11am on Sunday. You have to find the right entrance, otherwise the security guard just waves at you, cheerily.

Does anybody know which is the right door?

Will we get who is using what army before the competition?

Bob

I'd be happy knowing who is in which division

If the rules are followed then it should be MAWS,WARLORDS,and Hampshire in DIV 2 as they didn't play last year.
Can't help with the door ,I'll know it when I drive past it
Don't forget to use the free parking areas,its very expensive by the shops
