Perfect. Will give this a big push once we have the Pacto PDF and Lists up.

Hi,
I'm thinking of going to this; it'll be my 1st tournament.
Just checking that this will use yet to be released Pacto lists (and list builder?)?

Lists and builder are all now available to download from the main web site. You'll need the specific Pacto classical lists pdf. The one builder caters for all 3 variants however.
It should be good fun with an aim for it to be less intense and formal than a full blown tournament. That will allow beginners, old hands and everyone in between to muck in together for the games.
I've already signed up myself and hope to see you there.
Game size error corrected.
GAME AND ARMY SIZE
Mortem et Gloriam Pacto 3000 points
nikgaukroger,
apologies for being a pain but before I pull the trigger for SkullRollers Saturday & Sunday can I just check that I have the right Early Imperial Roman Pacto list (2516) MeG-Pacto-Army-Lists-2-Classical-Era-2023-01?
The Roman list has as a mandatory minimum of 2 cavalry, 6 legion and 4 auxilia UGs which is essentially 3000pts if the legions are 2 bases and the cavalry and auxilia are 1.
Is that correct, as at 3000pts the minimum appears to be the list unless I go for brittle 1 base legions which kind of goes against what the army's supposed to be about?
Thanks
Joken
Joken,
Check that you have chosen the "Pacto" option in cell M7 in the army builder. If it is selected to Maximus, then the points will be that much greater. (2510 - in Maximus, compared to 1622 in Pacto - assuming no melee experts).
You may also want to look at the Pacto sample armies (download from the MeG website in the armies and army lists menu) to check that things look similar.

Hi Richard,
Thanks for responding. Attached is an image of where I'm at. I have the following luxuries:
2 Competent Professional and 2 Mediocre commanders
2 Superior legions.
The rest of the list pretty much is the minimum. I've no problem with that and as a newbie it keeps it simple it's just the drop from 3500 to 3000 gets rid of bolt throwers, caltrops etc.
I just want to make sure I'm not making a schoolboy error and will have to sit at the back of the room on the day.
Thank you for your patience
Joken.

Hi Joken,
Looks good to me.
The whole purpose of the day is to have fun and learn. No judging. Look forward to meeting you.
I'll be bringing a range of armies for people to try if they want to.
Richard
