Art De La Guerre

[Alexander Pausch]

Dear AdlG friends,
the German Open AdlG-tournament 2025 will be held at the Marksburg in Braubach on March 7th and 8th (Saturday and Sunday). There will be five games, using 15/18mm scale.
The choice of army lists is limited to the Medieval Period (from AD 1050) – not the least to celebrate a particular anniversary, the grant in 1276 of a town charter to Braubach, the
traditional convening place for historical wargaming tournaments in Germany for more than 40 years.

At the Marksburg, a common dinner will be provided on Saturday evening, the cost of which has been included in the entrance fee of EUR 50,-. We have space for 40 players. When these
places have been booked, we cannot accept any further registrations.
Following a fine tradition, we will meet at the Pizzeria Laguna on Friday evening before the tournament for a meal and to toast the tournament. We will meet on Friday, March 6th from
6:30 p.m. Please tell us with your registration whether you would like to attend, so that we can accordingly reserve a table.
