Don

I can't make this one either which is a shame as I was looking forward to it.

Geoff

I can. I assume the Austrian is Western options only?

Keith

Yes I should have put that, I have changed it thanks

Hi All

So far three definites and one possible, all from Oxford , anyone else going to be coming along.

Ben

Hi,

Sorry won't be coming to this one as it is the day after the Newbury show.

See you at the 25mm in October.

regards Dene

Looks like I may not make this one after all.... and had my Army all ready too!!

Army Lists to me by end of Monday as its a bank holiday weekend I am giving you an extra day. Already sent mine to Bob for checking.

Ben

So far only two lists in

Keith Spedding
Ben Jones

Need two more or no competition

Ben

Looks like we have 4 for this one.

SO round robin

Draw for first round all throw 1 die, highest two fight, lowest two fight
Second round, winners fight, losers fight
Third round fight the one thats left

1st Round 9Am

30 min gap between rounds, but if both games finish early the gap won't be more than 30 mins from the last game to finish, so may finish early if lots of death.

Ben Late Louis
Paddy Late Louis
Kieth Late Swedes
Jerry Late Danes

Well here it is the result of the Late European armies

No game lasted more than 1 3/4 hours we were finished by 2:45. I did suggest another round but was turned down. 4 players just going for it.

Rd 1
Keith 23 Ben 2 (my dice were horrible 6 failed death rolls in the first 8 attempts.)
Jerry 21 Paddy 4

Rd 2
Ben 19 Paddy 6 (Paddy disintegrated first but it could have been the other way)
Keith 17 Jerry 8

Rd 3
Ben 21 Jerry 4 (Both cavalry flanks won, and his centre was eventually defeated)
Paddy 19 Keith 6

Total
Keith 46
Ben 42
Jerry 33
Paddy 29

An unusual place for Paddy especially as his brother got more points than him for the first time ever!!

I shall be looking for this flavour in the ice-cream section at my local Tesco's......

We also have a Tom in our club, so we have a lot of cat and mouse games with ice cream on the side.
