The second round of the Northern League for this year will be on 29th May at the MAWS Club venue:

Magdalene Centre,
Catherine Street
Winton, Eccles,
Greater Manchester
M30 8JD
Players to arrive at 09:00 am for a 9:30 start to the games.

The rules to be used are L’art de la guerre Fourth Edition 2021.

The theme for this round is Classical and Roman, you may use any army valid between 500 BC – 492 AD. Any allies used must also be valid within these dates.

If you would like to play but don’t have a suitable army please get in touch as I will probably be able to lend you one.

Army Lists should be sent to Mick Hood (mh014c5606@gmail.com) two weeks before the event.

The venue has tea and coffee making facilities and there are shops/cafes nearby.


The Northern League is a series of one day competitions consisting of 5 rounds. Each is a separate event, so players my enter as many or few events as they wish. However, there is also an overall championship, for which up to four of each player's scores will be counted. The cost of each round is £5 per player. This is a Singles competition, but players may enter as a pair if they wish.

New players are always welcome.

This event will consist of 3 games of 2.25 - 2.5 hours.

First game draws for this round will be based on the scores from Round 1, with the proviso that nobody will be drawn against anyone they playd in that round. Players who did not play in Round 1 will be drawn randomly. I will avoid drawing people against those from the same club for the first game where possible. The second and third game draws will be done using the normal Swiss system. Scoring will be the standard method from the ADLG website and the event's results will be submitted for UK and International rankings.

This is the usual reminder for anyone wanting to play in this round that lists are due to Mick by this weekend (15th May).

[kevinj]

At present we have even numbers. We also have one person on the waitlist, so if anyone else would like to play in this round please let me know ASAP and send a list to Mick at mh014c5606@gmail.com

Here is the current R&R for this round:



And here is the provisional first game draw:



I'll revise the draw as necessary if we get any more players.

[kevinj]

We now have 2 additional players:

1161 - Graeme Carroll - Durham - 64 - 'Achaemenid Persian 485 BC

1552 - Brian Espie - MAWS - 95 - Ostrogoth - 376 AD

There are the following changes to the draw:

Based on current overall score:
Kevin Johnson v Brian Espie

Others:
Graeme Carroll v Adrian Steer
Bob Middlemist v Andy McKay

The draw is initially based on current overall position, avoiding opponents from the last round. The other armies have been arranged chronologically, avoiding opponents from the same club.

I’m away from home at present so can’t do the usual neat table.
