It's good to see 14 different armies within the 16 lists.

Especially for those of us who had to fight three bloody Later TYW German armies in four games at Godendag.....

[madaxeman]

That's one more player than FoGAM !

Brendan,

Fighting three bloody Later TYW German armies in four games did not create a problem for Stephen and I at Godendag. We beat all three of them our draw was against the Spanish.
