Hi hammy

I may well be up for this. Just try and figure out how to get there. If it is a PITA will have to give it a miss.

What if you have a different comp.

Each player has to take along a different army. For example in the pc game, this happens. Players send in their choice of 3 armies, 1st choice, 2nd etc. If some players have the same 1st choice, the player with the lower ranking will have preference. So if there are 12 players each will have a different army.

And or, to make it more difficult for you. Players bring in armies but there is a draw on who uses what armies. Next round, a draw again etc.

This of course might be impossible as some of us only have one army.

I'll have to think on some specific time periods and pm you some ideas.

What is total pts and table size?

650 points 5 by 3 table size

This specific style has been on the go for at least the last three years may have been longer

[ericdoman1]

Whoops, although Pick'mix'Mix prob describes that.

Cheers Dave

[hammy]

Good spot on the points and such Eric

FoG:A and FoG:R 15mm: 15mm, 650 points, 5 by 3 tables, 2 1/2 hours a game

FoG:A 25mm: 600 points, 6 by 4 tables, 40mm MU, 2 1/2 hours a game

DBMM TBC but probably 240 points on smaller than usual tables.

[ericdoman1]

40mm mu for 25 mm. Wow you could prob push it to 2 hour games:)

Thinking about a pre HA kn period. Predomiantly west europe and North Africa. 900 AD to 1149AD

[philqw78]

My idea for one of the 15mm themes.
Its Manchester so:

Cottonopolis
Any army, any time but, No troops better armoured than protected. No Pikes

[davidandlynda]

Probably as its Manchester no troops better than average as well
David

[Robert241167]

After my "accidental" trip up Canal Street last weekend I fear protection won't be enough, armoured only for me !!

Rob

[philqw78]

Does anybody ever take anything I say seriously

[ericdoman1]

Of course we do Phil

Robert has to be very careful in the future as he could well be pumped from the south:)

[ericdoman1]

And 6690 posts! Holy Cow

I wonder if THE avatar is Enola Gay.

[david53]

How about those armies that can only have average troops.

Dave

Dave

I see your'e getting at me again....foul I cry

[spike]

Can I suggest the same FoGAM theme as last year, which was Saturday: Pre 1000ad, and Sunday: Post 500ad (thus allowing people to use the same army twice if they need to).

[philqw78]

If you make the themes wide but different a lot of armies could be used in both.

My other idea was The APpennine Way
Armies from any date but must have Hilly or Mountain in their terrain choices and battles must be fought in hilly or mountain.

[kevinj]

Armies from any date but must have Hilly or Mountain in their terrain choices and battles must be fought in hilly or mountain

and may not contain more than two instances of the letter "S" in any of the word in their name...

So I'm OK to describe my army as either " Schweiz", " Svizzera" or "Confoederatio Helvetica"

The Premier inn across the road (Stockport South)has rooms for £39 per night

Could those who are intending attending please let me know either in this thread or by e-mail. I will post a list of who has indicated they are attending.

N.B. after commments from some 25mm players I have changed the 25mm format to 650 points but on a 6' by 3' table.
