Ok This is a mirror match tournament to be played simultaniously. This means when you issue a challange you do so with your army and your opponents army. So if you were Early Anglo Saxon and your opponent Gepid ,then you would post a challange with both armies.Your opponent would therefore use the 2 oppsite armies to the challange.Hope this is straight forward if not let me know?The rules are at the start of the thread so please read through them before you start.
Cheers Turk
