Re: Attack! 2018 - confirmation
Just to confirm that I will be available to perform the list-checking. However, I probably won't be able to participate as I am definitely not available for one of the two days, and possibly both.

Re: Attack! 2018 - confirmation
Now up to 10 out of 12, just waiting for Paddy Bray and Chris Beesley (and for Dene to submit his army on the approved form!). Bob M has the 10 runners and riders thus far, and is chomping at the bit to produce a first round draw, so let's not keep him waiting, eh chaps?
So far, we have 1 Swiss, 1 Anglo-Irish, 1 Early Henrician, 1 IW French, 2 Caroline Imperialists, and four variations on a certain Italian State (one with an ally). Really sorry to be missing this one......(sigh).

Don;t forget, Britcon is an open event so any of these armies could be recycled a few weeks later... !

Re: Attack! 2018 - confirmation
Well, well, well - Milanese 1, 2, and 3 (we'll cast a discreet veil over Mr Boyles - I can only assume he forgot they weren't pirates). Probably helped that they were in the hands of the three best players anyway - possibly some sort of handicapping system for Mr Jones in future. Short-sighted pygmies on asthmatic rocking horses, perhaps?
Sorry to have missed out this year. My Early Henricians could have helped prop up the table with Nik's and the two Anglo-Irish with Irish allies.
