There will be a Field of Glory tournament at the upcoming MMGA ReCon,
22 Nov 2008, (note date change) at the Coon Rapids VFW. I need to know who is interested
and what armies they would like to field. I have not decided whether to
hold an open comp, or a themed tourney. If open, armies from any
published supplement would be welcome. A themed comp would probably be
limited to Late Middle Ages armies between 1300 and 1500 AD ("Storm of
Arrows" and "Eternal Empire" supplements, plus any crossover
from "Swords and Scimitars") The decision will be based on who commits
and states their preference. A final decision will be made when I get
enough input.
The reason I suggest a Late Middle Ages theme is because so far I know
of several people who have armies from that period. I have several and
could loan an army or two to interested players who need an army.
Please respond.

FoG tourney at MMGA ReCon, Coon Rapids MN, now 22 Nov 2008

I would like to know how many people are planning to take part and what
armies they are considering for it? As mentioned earlier I haven't made
up my mind whether to host an "open" competition, allowing any army
from the published supplements, or restricting it to a particular era -
European Late Medieval, for example. I have several late medieval
armies - Germans, Low Countries, Teutonics, Danes, but also have
Thracians, and if I worked real hard, could have a Classical Indian
army ready by then. So speak up. I will put out a formal announcement,
with tourney format and regulations as soon as I get enough feedback.
Thanks

Tournament army lists should use the format used on pages 32-34 of the Field of Glory rulebook, and include the army name, date or time period of the army, and any allies or special campaign options.
For example: Late Medieval German, Imperial, 1450-1458.
