That's a bit odd as the army lists say no light horse in Ireland. I've read about demi-lancers being used in the forces sent to aid the Dutch, but nothing about the light horse. So, no extra weapons to use against the Dastardly Don landing in England in 1588 then? (Speaking of which, I would suggest...

Did you kill any more generals?

This is a rules clarification, generated by an incident in a game at Warfare 2017, and a reminder to Nik to look at what happens when archers are defending artillery and they have defensive stakes. Do these go:- (a) in front of the guns (on the basis that troops defending guns notionally have their ...

Whilst it is good that the army lists have now been amended to allow English border horse to have crossbow/pistol in the early/later Henrician armies (as per their Scottish cousins), can someone explain why no shooting weapons are allowed for the Elizabethan army? I'm told there was a deliberate rea...

Do make sure that you pay for your parking, as otherwise you're likely to get slapped with a £60/£100 penalty charge. Yes, Reading are pretty fascistic when it comes to fining motorists - I'm currently fighting two penalties for driving in a bus lane in the town centre at 06:30 on a Sunday morning....

I'm in. I'm seeing Patrick this weekend, and will confirm him (or not) on Saturday evening - he'll need to borrow an army. I will have Mad Max and the boys in blue.

Spoken like a true Yorkshireman.

Go, Early Henricians!!!!

How close are we to getting a final version of the rule revision? At the moment at the club we have split between the few competition players who use the new rules whilst the majority are sticking with the original rule set with minor revisions. Hopefully when a final version is published this will...

Same here; both my normal partners will be unavailable at that time.

Keith - I think it has always been Richard who has organised it, although he played something else this year. I have to say that I preferred this year's venue to the hotel - the playing area was much too cramped at the latter. Should we consider going down the route we took at Devizes earlier this y...

Also, given what happened at Devizes earlier this year, should we maybe look at a "big singles armies" event, rather than doubles?
(See also the Cardiff thread.)

Freshwater fish, isn't it? Can't think why elephants would be scared of them.

Is this "Godendag" in January? I would have thought so, if the period/theme is well chosen.

It does seem like a perfect chance to not only consolidate, but also to remind people that these errata exist at all.

PM sent.

So 27% - slightly more than 1 game in 4.

OK, bit of a quick and dirty response but I'm afraid its all I have time for. <snip.> So I guess ultimately it is a case of YMMV when interpreting the evidence - and mine does from yours in these cases (FWIW I can see where you are coming from and they were valid to raise). Not at all, thanks for t...

Just out of interest (sparked by a thread on another forum), but how many games ended with one army (at least) completely broken?

[For the record, we were discussing army sizes and their impact on tournaments with >1 game per player per day.]

Indulging in a spot of "threadomancy" here, how does it work with two "mixed" LTs of pike, shot and bow - specifically 6:4:2 - and two LTs of 6 pike and 6 shot?
