Thanks Tim. I've bought my ticket - looking forward to the challenge of adapting to the new rules!

Lots of choice in this theme. A big 'thank you' to Phil Powell for getting us on the right track.

Nobody has ever said that before

Just 1 FoG V3 place left! Don't leave it too late.

Combing through the permitted lists I've discovered that the Carolingian Franks can have Frisian or Old Saxon Allies from Legions Triumphant which are within the permitted date range.

I will ask Tim to update the list and the BHGS website. Apologies for the omission. If there are any others, please let me know.

A wise precaution

If the new book 2 is out in time these lists will be allowed, again subject to the date restriction of 550-1040AD

I'm not sure that's very helpful Phil. Who has asked you to post that?

I really don't think the new book 2 lists should be used. Firstly, what Pete said. I'll be starting my army design next week based on the old books and don't want to change horses in mid-stream. Secondly, I (and Terry and Steve Murton) know pretty much exactly what will be in the new lists. So we would have an unfair advantage. Lastly, we finished the proof reading last week (several dozen dull hours); I'm not sure what the pre-production, print and circulation timescales are but I imagine longer than a month. So it would be cutting it quite fine I think.

Cheers guys - so as we were. Only the original army lists may be used for Roll Call. Mr Briggs cites some excellent reasons why we made that call originally.

One thing we haven't published is the deadline for lists to Andy Ellis for checking. Email address : andyellis.ellis@gmail.com

Please submit your list using the V3 Army list builder by Friday 23rd March. The latest version is available on the BHGS website.

Never mind, at least you'll thrash Ruddock at the weekend. If you can find him after the warband have gone straight through him.

Had a brain fart. Looked at the lists above, thought (?) I've done the book 2 lists for Campaign but nobody has done them for Roll Call so just went on autopilot

No worries Phil - I'm sure no-one else noticed. See you on Saturday!

So just so everyone knows Roll Call will be the first BHGS competition to trial the 35-0 scoring system.
