Bob,
Just to indicate some early commitment so that you can add 5 names to your list.
I just about to book accommodation for myself, Bob Lorton, Chris Beesley, Keith Spedding & Dene Green.
Ray

Bookings can now be made via the website here:

http://www.ddwg.org.uk/attack-2018-comp ... ition.html

Just to confirm that I will be available to perform the list-checking. However, I probably won't be able to participate as I am definitely not available for one of the two days, and possibly both.

Hi everyone,

I've just bought my ticket, there are 7 remaining. Does anyone know how many places have we been allocated? Book early or you may miss out!

regards Dene

I have bought my ticket.
If we have a demand for more than 8 tickets I will ask Phil if more tickets can be made available.

Bob

All 10 places for the FOG R competition have been booked.
The names of the lucky players are: -
Dene Green
Ray Boyles
Lynette Maxim
Keith Spedding
Bob Lorton
Chris Beesley
Ben Jones
Bruce Rollett
Paddy Bray
Bob Medcraft
If you want to take part contact me direct. You will be put on a reserve list. If Phil feel that he can let us have more spaces you will then be asked to make a formal entry.

Bob

More tickets have been made available for the competition.

If you want to play hurry over to the Devizes Wargame website (see link above) and book your ticket. The information I have is that there are going to be some interesting armies going to be played.

Bob

We are now up to 12 players. There are two places still available.

Bob

Just a reminder that lists are to go to Brendan by Friday 29th June 2018 using version beta 8b of the list generation spreadsheet.

Bob

Lists in so far from Lynette and Nik. Will be looking over these (and, hopefully, others) at the weekend.

More in from Bob M, Andy K , Ray Boyles and - rather surprisingly - Vladimir Putin (no relation, apparently - but best get his entry fee off him in advance, just in case.....).

Bruce, Ben and Dene - good lads. Still waiting for a few, come on folks.

Now up to 10 out of 12, just waiting for Paddy Bray and Chris Beesley (and for Dene to submit his army on the approved form!). Bob M has the 10 runners and riders thus far, and is chomping at the bit to produce a first round draw, so let's not keep him waiting, eh chaps?

So far, we have 1 Swiss, 1 Anglo-Irish, 1 Early Henrician, 1 IW French, 2 Caroline Imperialists, and four variations on a certain Italian State (one with an ally). Really sorry to be missing this one......(sigh).

Don;t forget, Britcon is an open event so any of these armies could be recycled a few weeks later... !

We now have all 12 entries in - 1 Swiss, 1 Early Henrician, 1 Italian Wars French, 1 Scottish, 2 Caroline Imperialist (1 in Flanders, 1....errr....not), 2 Anglo-Irish (both with Irish allies), and 4 Milanese (1 with Swiss allies).

Bob M has just distributed the R&R and 1st Round Draw.

Best of luck to all of you.

Here are the runners and riders for Attack!
1) Lynette Maxim - Swiss 1514
2) Nik Gaukroger - Early Henrician English 1517
3) Andy Kitcher – Italian States (Milanese) 1510

Congratulations to Ben Jones and Keith Spedding

Bob

Well, well, well - Milanese 1, 2, and 3 (we'll cast a discreet veil over Mr Boyles - I can only assume he forgot they weren't pirates). Probably helped that they were in the hands of the three best players anyway - possibly some sort of handicapping system for Mr Jones in future. Short-sighted pygmies on asthmatic rocking horses, perhaps?

Sorry to have missed out this year. My Early Henricians could have helped prop up the table with Nik's and the two Anglo-Irish with Irish allies.
