Richard,

Those armies are interesting. No Ottomans.

So you think your Impact mounted are going to win the games for you?

You really expect me to answer that?

It's Richard's subtle plan, the Hussars will provide rear support for the foot...

You mean the fake ones!

Any idea what time it starts tomorrow ? Will I get a leisurely breakfast ? As I'm only coming from Chippenham

It was a great weekend with Alasdiar and Paddy yet again coming 1st. One should ask Paddy how he felt thought seeing he only play for two hours out of 4 games!!!

Big thank you to Devizes WS and Richard for organising the competition.

To be fair that would mostly be to do with you as you sat in the corner in all the terrain

Alasdair

Alasdair, That was only our game what about the other games.

Bob

Thanks everyone for a really good weekend.

Particular thanks to Richard for organising and killing a light infantry bowman at just the right moment

Really looking forward to Britcon and planning a different army for Warfare (no elephants).

Don

Yup very good weekend. Thanks all round. Lynettes Japanese proved very entertaining. Apologies to you Richard and Tom our dice were on fire for that game. I guess the polish invasion of Japan probably wouldn't have been very successful based of that performance. Obviously a pike or musket is no match for no dachi or naginata

As always I forgot to thank our great opponents for such friendly games. We played both Japanese armies - lost one won one - Lynettes dice were fantanstic but could not cope with heavy cannons. The Russian Civil war ended up totally one side - sorry Chris and Brian.

Bob

Belatedly, here are the results:

Richard

Thank you. Much appreciated.
