I seem to recall seeing Hubert on the attendance list. Can we not just lock him in the toilet until he gives us an 'unofficial' official ruling?

Please see the first round draw, which is done by date. I still await one final, there is one player who is tba up to the last minute due to family reasons, and always some late minute changes anyway so i will rejig this as required for any no shows on the day.

Everyone will get all 3 games, I will only play if we have an odd number of players. If I play I will use a normal draw for simplicity, but I will be ineligible for the prizes. Having checked 20+ lists I cannot remember contents, but if I need to play my opponents are welcome to swap lists with me at the start of the game so that we both know exactly what is in each army.

397 Bretagne 862 Finkel
485 Schoor 1485 Stone
489 McKenzie 971 Rowland
708 Webb 768 Allen
710 Saunders 858 Bennett
711 Pearce 1418 Nice
713 Pearce 869 Sola
N104 Gilby N101 Matthews updated
872 Finney 1483 Sewell
873 Gray N103 Tolson
973 Healey N102 Whittaker
1354 Webb N105 Hammond

Looking forward to seeing everyone Sunday, as close to 9:00 start as we can once we can get into the pub and get tables setup

A couple of small changes.

Sean had previously warned me that he might not be able to make it tomorrow, and has now confirmed that he will not be there. He is replaced by Mark Gilby, CLWC, 134 Abbasid Arab

Harrison is a top notch player! Congratulations

[Robert241167]

Well done Harrison.

Good to see that Hvy Cav Impact 1/2 Bow and smaller armies are still viable.

Well done, Harrison, and thanks to Mike for taking the time to get this organised.

[Black Prince]

Hi Jesse I see your Huns came 4th in the comp are you willing to share a insight in how you did it?

[Longtooth]

Hi Black Prince,

My army list was as follows:

Command A (+2)
10 x Med cavalry, bow, elite

Command B (+1, Included General)
1 x Heavy cavalry, bow, elite, general
1 x Heavy cavalry, bow, elite
2 x Light cavalry, bow, elite
3 x Medium sword, impetuous

Command C (+0, unreliable)
4 x Light cavalry, bow, elite

Note that I had to use the Sabir Hun list, as the Western Huns did not fit into the tournament date range.

The plan is for Command A to move aggressively along a table edge, with Command B holding the centre and Command C to not die.

Although the list worked well, I also had a bit of luck. My first opponent had only eight cavalry divided evenly onto both wings, which made it pretty easy for me to turn a flank. My second opponent gambled on a flank march, which never arrived. Again, this made it pretty easy for me to turn a flank.

I played my final game against Harrison and his army list was pretty similar to mine, except that he had heavy cavalry, 1/2 impact, 1/2 bow in place of medium cavalry, bow, elite. Things were going my way until the final two turns of the game, when I noticed that Harrison was only two points from breaking. I then made a series of silly moves which gave Harrison a number of free rallies and some easy kills. Although the better man clearly won, the army list worked well and a very similar list managed to scoop first place. In my mind, this is a moral victory for the Huns!!

If I was to make any changes to the list, I would probably ditch the three medium sword, impetuous for three bowmen.

Jesse

[Black Prince]

Hi Jesse,

Thanks for your reply. I might have buy some more medium cavalry I only have 5 bases. Yes I agree a moral victory to the Huns.
