Roll Call 2019

[grahambriggs]

Pete, what about allies? Do they have to be from book 2 as well or not?

[petedalby]

As we did not set a date range and to keep things simple let's stick to all lists and any allies from Book 2 please.

[philqw78]

When are lists supposed to be in? Can't find anything anywhere

[madaxeman]

Dave Morrison and John patrick added to the attendee list - now stands at 14 players

[philqw78]

Lists in before 14th April please.

Late lists will be punished by having to purchase me an hour's worth of beer

[philqw78]

X means no list received yet, which is odd for Jon, John and Dave M as I have already got their Campaign lists. Obviously too much choice

Dave Ruddock has checked my list

[petedalby]

To be fair John & Dave M have only just found out that they're in.

Dave Ruddock - Sassanid (Terry Wannabee)
David Bannister - Tibetan - Again
Dave Morrison - Nikeforian
John Patrick - Nikeforian
Peter Card - Nikeforian

(bugger me)
Keith Pullen - Muslim North Africa
Phil Jelly - Muslim North Africa
Jon Akers - Kofun Nara - Again
Lynda Fairhurst - Palmyran
David Fairhurst - Western German - Sciri
Phil Powell - Anglo Danish

Well, only me and the Fairhursts with something different, or so a BHGS spokesperson was heard to say.

[dave_r]

I'm liking the look of all those Nikeforians. North Africans could be tricksy. Norse Irish could take a lot of killing.... But not as much as the Sciri ....

Be interesting to see the two Sassanids to see how similar they are. I'm assuming mine will be miles better than Terry's. If not and I play him I'll just have to rely on dice.

Palmyran likely to be a tough opponent, I will run over the Anglo Danish. Nofun Kara will be wall to wall bowmen... Or a large target as we refer to them as.

Can't see anything going wrong

[philqw78]

... I will run over the Anglo Danish...

Can't see anything going wrong

OK, lets see considering for the past couple of years it's been Dave Sidestep Ruddock as you desperately avoid my armies

[dave_r]

Let us just hope that the person carrying out the draw does so in a fair and consistent manner.

Now, let me think... Who is going to be doing the draw?

[terrys]

Relying on your dice seems to be your only tactic (although it does seem to work !)

If it ain't broke....

[azrael86]

Then the chances are it's not sufficiently feature-rich yet.

[dave_r]

And the first round Draw is*:

* As long as nobody drops out...

[dave_r]

A re-draw prior to the competition beginning.... Caused by Phil Jelley's club being incorrect.

2 David Bannister (Tibetan) v Keith Pullen (Muslim North Africa)
3 Lynda Fairhurst (Palmyran) v Phil Powell (Anglo Danish)

[philqw78]

David Fairhurst's army should read "Eastern German - Sciri"
