Farnborough Shot 2014 - 25mm competition

[SSLConf_TomE]

Marc,

Have you concluded on a theme? I would be happy with open and would be looking to choose between Italian wars and latter half of 17th century!

Tom

[MarcP]

I'm happy to make it open. I suspect that will mean lots of mid-late 17th armies, but an Earlier army would be welcome

[MarcP]

marccpriest AT aol.com

Thanks - Marc

Are you the same Farnborough group that puts on "Valhalla" every June? I only ask as I can't find anything about this competition on the FWGS website, and I would be interested in entering next year, as I only live over in Haslemere (I'm not a prospective member unfortunately, as Friday evening and Sunday are non-starters for me).

[MarcP]

Yes that is us. . Problem is the Web Site moderator has gone AWOL..

If you're free you could always sign up this year (I'll sit out in that case)

[MarcP]

All lists in

Provisional Draw :-

Alan Brown (Farnborough) -New Model Army vs Bob Lorton (October) TYW Dutch
Oren Taylor (Farnborough) - New Model Army vs Mark Fry (Malmesbury) - Late Danish
Lance Flint (Farnborough) - Swiss vs Tom Elsworth (Oxford) - Italian Wars French
Marc Priest (Farnborough) - Late Russian vs Ray Boyles (October) Anglo Dutch
Richard Jeffrey-Cook (Farnborough) - Tlaxcalan vs David Allen (Central London) - Japanese
Neil Seagrave (Farnborough) - TYW German vs Michael Shepherd (Berkeley) - TYW French
Ben Jones (Oxford) - TYW French vs Colin Evans TYW German

Let me know if anyone has a major objection to this

[RonanTheLibrarian]

Marc - That's very kind of you, but I'm afraid I have prior commitments this weekend. I notice your comp is 25/28mm, rather than the more commonplace 15mm, and tends towards the Wars of Religion/Duty & Glory lists - is that usual with your group? If so, I would be looking at something along the D&G line.

[MarcP]

Ronan,
I've sent you a PM. We meet on Fridays at the Elles hall - we've got a few FOG players with a mix of 25mm and 15mm armies

[benjones1211]

Thanks to Marc for a great day. Actually its Ben Jones, not Ben Cross, don't think I was cross all weekend. My apologies go to Lance who I fought in the last game. who met some of the best dice throwing I have ever done, and his Swiss just didn't know what hit them.
