Havoc on the Hamble! Myths and Legends
Update Jan 2024
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to provide some additional information on the format of the day.
This will be a Maximus 10K point event with three games to be played
Gamers should aim to arrive for 08:30 and games will start at 09:00. Each game will last for 3 hours (with a short break between each) as follows:
Game 1: 09:00 - 12:00
Game 2: 12:30 - 15:30
Game 3: 16:00 - 19:00
Awards and prizes should mean we are done by 19:30.
For those travelling, who require accommodation, I have some links to lists of cheap hotels and places to stay in and around Fareham. Contact me via the email below if you want details.
Remember parking is available on site for free.
Finally, for now, costs are £15:00 per person. Payable by 11th April 2024. Early Birds, payment received before 11th March 2024, pay £12:50.
Meanwhile, I'll see some of you at Beachhead, but, if you have any questions drop me a line: ian.carbutt@btinternet.com
Myself and Jason Humphrey (newbie on scene, has better luck than Nik with green dice....) will be there.
Regards

I will be there and I'm hoping to bring one other
The theme for the Sarisbury Green Wargame club event "Havoc on the Hamble" (on 11th May) is Myths & Legends. So, we thought a brief explanation of what this means for army lists might help.
For an army list to be valid, it must contain a Legendary general. The Legendary general must be named, the army date must comply with the life of the legendary general – and a brief (one line) justification for classification of Legendary must be provided. The Legendary general will normally be the C-in-C (the single exception being Achilles in the Trojan War Achaean list #1215).
The Legendary general may be an historical figure of legendary status (e.g. Alexander, Caesar etc), or, to make the choice as open as possible, may be any general considered by the player to be 'deserving' of legendary status.
As an example, using Bantu Tribes, list 5913 – the Legendary AC would be Prince Nyatsimba Mutota (Instinctive Legendary), dated 1450, and justified as from 1430 he founded the Kingdom of Mutapa, which became the the largest economic and political power in Zimbabwe for over 200 years. (Simples!)
Armies which may not have a Legendary general are not permitted. Here are some examples: e.g. Swabian League, Swiss as their Army Commander is restricted to Competent or Mediocre only.
Please send your list to me i.newell1953@gmail.co.uk by 20th April 2024.
First list in ...... and approved

Edward III (1312–1377) was the most successful European ruler of his age. Reigning for over fifty years, he achieved spectacular military triumphs. Revered by his subjects as a chivalric dynamo, he initiated the Hundred Years' War and gloriously led his men into battle at Dupplin Moor 1332, Halidon Hill 1333, Sluys 1340, Crecy in 1346, Neville's Cross 1346, Poitiers 1356.
Hope he will be acceptable

Well done. I wish it had been on a different weekend to Campaign as I would have really liked to have taken part! Maybe another time?

Hope I'm not being churlish or over-critical but is the First Crusade list legal? It has 12 Sergeants and I thought the maximum was eight?

The list maximum is 8. Guess nobody (player, list checker or opponents) spotted it... Wouldn't be the first time and I guess it won't be the last.
If you dropped the skirmishers, and replaced 6 of the sergeants with knights the list would be legal.

List checking is a task beset by pitfalls 🤪
