Will the tables take the strain of no points limit Dan?

All periods have a points limit of 850.

Dates listed as “from” will be exclusive of that year. So from 750 BC, will only allow 749-705 BC

Silly question maybe, but why? I've always read lists as from year to include the year, and before year to exclude the year. Is this how you normally play, or is it an exception for the competition?

Well perhaps not all lists were carved with a clear standard as we like.
The captains who attempted to come up with balanced and fun periods in particular were concerned with Urartic. Letting them in or not was debated. Then it was observed that coincidentally the 12 LCH bases rule solves the problem. Because they can only get to 12 via an ally and they only get the ally in the time period that is not the armored superior bow cav. The captains felt that if you let in them with that best cavalry we would risk having every single team bring that list in the period. That was deemed undesirable. Then a captain pointed out someone could argue the date to cross the line of demarcation and circumvent the intent The solution was the clarifying point. In short we are forbidding the Urartic superior bow cav.

Clearly you need better glasses. It clearly can be read to reference 850 points....now.
Next thing you will say, I didn't mention the scale...which now you can clearly check I did.

Germany will sent 2 teams!

Indeed it sounds as if we already have 10-12 teams attending.

Yup - it's looking to be the biggest ITC ever. Of course, allowing two teams has added numbers, but we are expecting (I think) eight represented nations - which is great news.

Err, no 2003 and 2004 both had 16 teams with representatives from 14 nations and the norm was 14/14.

But it's good to see the ITC captains committee being facilitative and trying new things to once again build-up the number of attendees.

Sorry - I meant with fog rather than dBm.

hi future competitors,
can you give us french the good places for shopping wargame miniature in Rome?
I once went to one near the colysé in an upper street going to the station. Can't remember its name.
And also ,where can we buy testudos 15mm figurines in Rome, if we can?
Edward

Testudo are no longer in commerce anymore (an American company got the series but at present doesn't sell them)

Do you have any details about the time schedule, venue, etc.? I'm checking flight connections from Barcelona and considering flying on Saturday morning if possible...

There will be 2 games on Saturday and 2 games on Sunday. I don't think they have set the start time on Saturday yet but I guess it will not be before 9am, perhaps a little later?

Will there be a Spanish team of 4 players or are you the only one coming from Spain?

Any idea when will we finish on Sunday?

I'm checking flight connections in order to see if I can contribute to complete a Spanish team. AFAIK, there are two Spanish players confirmed for the moment...
