Alasdair,

There are three more from Oxford - Tom, Jerry and me. Book us as coming please. We missed out on London by leaving it too late.

Hi Alasdair,

Book me in too.

I may even give 'enry VIII another run out!

Will enjoy playing you in the 3rd game again!

May I ask why Swiss are excluded?

[Vespasian28]

Because they are too scary?

[alasdair2204]

Essentially because as my colleague above says they were to scarey and we didn't want everybody ending up with Swiss, a major part of the southern league has been about encouraging new players and different armies

cheers

Boo!

[quackstheking]

If the Swiss were there, then I wouldn't take 'Enery VIII. They walk through me like a knife through butter as I have nothing heavy eneough to take them on. My bow only hit the armoured boys at a -POA and rarely do enough hits to even force a test, let alone knock a figure off and as they are self supporting Kiels, that's a pass on at least an 6 and even a 5with a general (and usually each kiel has a general) plus the re-rolls for being superior!!. Also being determined foot with a 4" move the bow only ever get a max of 2 short range shots - like a pea shooter at a tank!

They're too scary and not much fun to face or play against (and even with!), though they are beatable.

Very beatable if you get Gendarmes to take them from the rear (so to speak)...

Alasdair

[Vespasian28]

There was me thinking this would be a nice quiet event to try my first competition and now it is filling up with scary people who know what they are doing.

[timmy1]

Alasdair is not scary - just very good...

You could not hope to get thrashed by a nicer person...

[alasdair2204]

Most of the Southampton club players are only just starting

and to be fair my army is all foot and I am well known for having no knowledge of foot

cheers

The Foot BGs in Division don't get a Third move...
