Indeed. Our plan is to close our eyes at impact and stick our fingers in our ears. Or roll lots of fives. That's if we're not scampering across those lovely Tibetan mountains.

Well 3 cheers for those chaps showing individuality with their armies...lets celebrate diversity!

And 3 boos for all those competition tigers out there with those samey samey armies..... conformity is just so dull...

Just remember that you can only do 2 march moves Richard!

Thanks to the organisers - no parking tickets this year!!

No seriously it is a great comp.

Congratulations to Bob Medcraft and Peter Card on a great win.

Thanks to the Burton Team for a great competition.

Still do not know how we did it. Peter and I are used to being in the bottom half of the results.

Thanks to our great opponents for allowing us to gets so many points: Andy and Martin, Simon and Phil, Steve and Graham and Graeme and Robert.

Congratulations, I knew as soon as I saw we were up against your Early Hungarian army in our last game we were in for a hiding.......it has been my army of choice for a while now, so I knew we would struggle to deal with it if you played it well. Once you broke through (which you did early on due to a mistake in our deployment) that was gonna be it, we just hoped to take enough points off you to hit 50 points for the weekend, which we did finishing on 50 points exactly I believe!

Well done, it was well deserved.

Thanks to the organisers as well, great weekend.

It seemed to me that you did it by having a good army structure and playing to the army's strengths: controlling the tempo of the game with the skirmishers and getting your strike troops away from hard targets and into soft ones! Well done gents.
