Ah, no one has mentioned their fear of the hordes of unprotected javelins I have. No surprise really, neither would I be.

My Chinese are terrified

Well, as long as there are lots of elephants and pikes I will be fine... Less keen on those Romans...

And the final results were... 1. David Fairbrother (Principate Roman) -- 131 2. Graham Briggs (Viking) -- 108 3. Dave Ruddock (Later Plantagenet - Britain) -- 97 4. Owain Simpson (Late Republican Roman) -- 95 4. Paul Bartlett (Later Plantagenet - Britain) -- 95 6. Terry Shaw (Anglo Saxon and Anglo D...

Drum Roll..... The first round draw is as follows: Philip Jelley v Terry Shaw Micky Woods v Linda Fairhurst David Fairbrother v David Bannister Phil Powell v Graham Briggs Steve Murton v Owain Simpson Pete Dalby v Martyn Simpson Dave Ruddock v David Fairhurst Paul Bartlett v John Patrick Bye v David...

I shall refrain from commenting about the Roman lack of imagination.... I am assuming the correct spelling of these players is as follows: Martyn Simpson Steve Murton Micky Woods Not sorted out the exact details for the bye - but will be a randomised first round draw. The player receiving the bye wi...

I should just go with my usual tactic and not bother reading the rules

Yes the French did. And far more than hephalite Huns did in Italy....

All, We have two confirmed entries for the London GT and I'm going to enter a MAWS team in due course - but we need more teams to make this viable. Can you please enter now if you are planning to do so so we can confirm the competitions viability. If you don't have a team drop myself and Pete Dalby ...

Looking at the muromachi list, the "Bushi and followers with high proportions of followers" are classed as Medium Foot, Bow*, Polearm. Troops will get 3 dice per base at impact. But page 90 states that "Light foot or light horse and medium foot with Bow* Lose 1 dice per 2". So therefore if the Murom...

Potentially yes, however there is a minimum of 8 of the light spear as well as the heavy weapon, so you would need 8 of them as well.

Did the French actually fight though?

Ferdi won, David fairhurst second and Graham Briggs third.

I don't think game times have been published as yet - I think 3 hour games are enough, so would the following be OK:

Sat:
Game 1: 9:30 - 12:30
Game 2: 13:30 - 16:30
Sun:
Game 3: 9:00 - 12:00
Game 4: 13:00 - 16:00

A re-draw prior to the competition beginning.... Caused by Phil Jelley's club being incorrect. 1 Terry Shaw (Sassanid Persian) v David Fairhurst (Western German - Sciri) 2 David Bannister (Tibetan) v Keith Pullen (Muslim North Africa) 3 Lynda Fairhurst (Palmyran) v Phil Powell (Anglo Danish) 4 Graha...
