Another great weekend of hard fought Renaissance gaming in the Thirty Years Wars saw Ben Jones's Early TYW Swedes emerge victorious and unbeaten at the topr of the table. Well done too to Dene Green for leading a Later Tercio army to 2nd spot.

Bob Medcraft's dice fought hard and successfully and easily won the wooden spoon. The dice may now be found on EBay - Bob is offering to pay you to take them away!!

The Full results were:-

1st Ben Jones 107pts
2nd Dene Green 65pts
3rd Stephen Stead 63pts
4th Andy Kitcher 60pts
5th Ray Boyles 60pts (on countback having lost to Andy)
6th Don Avis 41pts
7th Steve Holt 31pts
8th Bob Medcraft 23pts

Thanks to all for a fun weekend and especially to my 5 opponents Ben, Dene, Stephen, Steve and Bob
