Impressive results from Messrs Longmore & Ruddock!

Forged in Battle Team Challenge – Final Arrangements Good morning all – just a few weeks to go before the best attended FoG Event of 2019. The trophies for the top 2 teams are finished. https://i.imgur.com/pHO4U1Z.jpg https://i.imgur.com/NJXXp8n.jpg We have some great prizes again from both our spo...

Confirmation of Teams - the following have all paid their entry fees so if there any late changes please let me know asap. Gloucester: Derek Bartlett, Dave Morrison, John Patrick Oxbridge: David Fairhurst, Lynda Fairhurst, Ali Shaw MAWS: Brian Espie, Phil Powell, Dave Ruddock Mercenaries: Ian Carbut...

And so on to the last game which will be against David Fairhurst who is using Later Carthaginians. These had done well in Rome coming first and second but I suspect they were struggling against so many pike and Roman armies. David had, I believe, 2 x FC, 2 x TC, 2 x 6 HF OS, 4 x 8 HF IF, Sw, 2 x 8 M...

It is Sunday morning for game 5 and I am mid table. I need a big win to have a chance of a podium finish. I am drawn against Steve Murton who is using Ptolemaic – another Successor army. I believe Steve has an IC & 2 TCs, 3 x 8 Pike, 1 x 12 Pike, 1 x 8 Sup Pike, 1 x 6 LF Javs, 1 x 6 LF Bow, 1 x 2 El...

My second game on Saturday was vs Phil Powell using LRR supported by a Dacian Ally. (Sorry this is slightly out of order – blame the computer gremlins!) Phils’ army was general light with just 1 FC and an Ally TC which allowed him to field 4 x 4 Elite Romans, 2 x 4 Sup Romans, 1 x 6 LH Javs, 1 x 4 P...

And so on to the final game on Saturday vs Chris Tofalos who is using a Macedonian Early Successor – so lots more pike again. Chris’ army IC & 2 TCs, 6 x 8 Pike, 2 x 2 El, 1 x 6 Thracians, 1 x 6 Thorakitai, 1 x 6 Theurophoroi, 1 x 6 LF Jav, 1 x 6 LF Sling, 1 x 4 Cav Lance Sw As every Britcon regular...

It’s Saturday morning and I’m up against Steve Brown of Plymouth using Lysimachid Early Successor. Steve is a very good player and ahead of me in the rankings going into the weekend. Steve has 4 x TC, 6 x 8 Pike, 2 x 8 Sup Pike, 2 x 8 Thracian MF HW, 1 x LH Jav, 2 x 6 LF Jav & 1 x 4 Sup Armd Cav Lan...

Britcon was any list from Book 1 so I expected to see quite a lot of Successor & Roman armies and I was not disappointed. I elected to take Alexandrian Macedonian as I had the army and I thought it had a good degree of flexibility. My list for all games was an IC, 2 x TC, 1 x 8 Pike, 2 x 10 Pike, 1 ...

To give everyone time to plan their all-conquering army the theme for next's year Britcon will be as follows: 15mm 800 AP Book 2 – any list between 25 BC and 1040 AD. Any permitted allied list from Books 1 & 3 within the same date range. The allied list must be the same date as the main list. I thou...

Just wanted to record my thanks to everyone involved in making another great Britcon weekend happen - particularly to Tim Porter & Kevin Johnson. I had 6 very enjoyable games vs Chad, Phil, Steves Brown & Murton, Chris & David Fairhurst. I've got some new bad dice stories but you should always go ba...

As they probably should be.

Well done and thanks Phil.

11 different lists from 24 - should be fun! Keen to see how well the much vaunted Han do....

Naughty step avoided!

List Checker is as per the BHGS website - FoGAMlists@bhgs.org.uk where they will be delivered to Phil Powell I believe.

The deadline is the 1st August please everyone.

Another good weekend of gaming - thanks very much guys!

Good to know. I can bring a cloth and tape.

I think you need to recheck the errata Dave.

MF Bow* lose 1 dice per 2 'when support shooting from a 2nd rank.' In your example a 3 wide BG would gt 9 impact dice and 2 support shoot dice.

I've entered this to support our friends in the North.

Anyone else from down South going?

Another great weekend's gaming - thanks to everyone involved.

Had 5 very enjoyable games vs Chad, David, Paul, Peter & Graham. The Yuan struggled at 800 AP and with a mis-firing flank march they may not be allowed back next year!

On to Devizes next - hope to see you there.
