IN ADDITION TO THE MEG COMPETITION, we will be running a historical 28mm refight of the Battle of Hydaspes, Alexander the Great's final major battle against the Indian army of Porus.

Tickets - https://wargamesreading.co.uk/product/megmaximus/
28mm Magna and 28mm Pacto
In addition to the 15mm Maximus above competition for Magna and Pacto both in 28mm are being offered.
Theme and allowed armies as per the 15mm above.
As these are new competitions for Warfare it will be important that anyone wishing to take part books as soon as they can; like any competition being offered the organisers (WAR) will need to make a call as to whether it will be viable some time in advance of the event dates in order to ensure that they book the right number of tables and aren't incurring unnecessary costs.
If you have any questions about these competitions please contact Simon Hall at simon@mortem-et-gloriam.co.uk

From the Warfare organisers, news about a freebie for all comp entrants from one of the Warfare sponsors:

Some of you may have seen the Facebook announcement on Friday regarding an additional Event Sponsor for Warfare 2023. Don't forget to follow us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/WargamesReading (https://www.facebook.com/WargamesReading)
I can now reveal that that is the British online videogame company Slitherine see https://www.slitherine.com/ (https://www.slitherine.com/)
Slitherine are offering all tournament players a voucher to be redeemed against their online product. There is a limit to the number of vouchers, but it's a generous one and within current sales, so I can assure you that you will definitely get the voucher should you attend.
The voucher to the value of £20 will be provided to each named player at registration and will be in the form of a card with a unique code. This can then be used to purchase any digital game(s) (not physical copies) and will be valid for 12 months.
This is an incredibly generous offer from Slitherine and I trust you will all join me in thanking them. Please feel free to share this information amongst your friends and colleagues especially those that are considering buying a ticket but as yet haven't got around to it - as I say there is not an infinite number of vouchers.
We will also be running a 28mm refight of the Battle of Hydaspes for non-competitive MeG ers.

The Syria and Asia Minor says: Armenian; Cappadocian; Early Seleucid; Late Seleucid; Pontic; Galatian; Palmyran. Does that mean I can't use Attalid Pergamene allies?
There are no restrictions on allies other than the up to 476 CE one.
I'll be there. I've transferred over from ADLG.

Ahead of this weekend's competition at Warfare a reminder of a few things.
Your team for the weekend is Cid (Laurence Donohoe), Graham Klaka and Nik Gaukroger. Cid and GK will be doing the draw, etc. so please remember to get your score sheets to them ASAP when games have finished. We have arrangements in place should circumstances means we have odd numbers, but we are currently even.
Getting There
Hopefully you will all have received an email from the organising club with show details. Just in case, here are some important bits of info for you:
The doors will open at 8.15am – the team are aiming to be there at this time.
Entry will be the West Foyer – the opposite end of the building from last year. You will be given a tournaments wristband, and you will need to retain this and will also need it on day 2; it is washable.
The West Foyer: https://photos.app.goo.gl/Eb6KB3GEq2pNhAnZA
Getting in the Main gate – use Gate F, postcode GU14 6TQ for vehicles only. Pedestrians enter by Gate B (get your lift/taxi to drop you there).
Game Timings
Saturday: 1st game 0930-1245, 2nd game 1400-1715
Sunday: 1st game 0900-1215, 2nd game 1330-1645
Longer gaps between games to allow you to do some shopping and look at the show.
Prizes, etc. as soon as we can on Sunday after games have finished.
Cloths/Mats
Please bring a cloth or a mat to play on as these are not supplied. Better to have too many than too few, so if in doubt, bring one 😊
We look forward to seeing you there at the weekend,
Cid, GK and Nik
