Any army legal during these dates may be chosen.
All armies must have 4 commands. 1 Ally-General can be nominated in the submitted list as auto-reliable. He (and his command) is treated in all ways as an Ally-General (including AP) but is reliable from the outset of the game. Also if flank marching or a delayed arrival his command will not count as lost and will continue to dice for arrival even from the 8th bound.

Do we get bonus points for using Greeks as they appear to be the theme?  ;)

Entered

Just did a full mail out to all MEG Players

So, who is going?  8)

Have you entered?

How many entries so far ???

Waiting for Hammy to commit

9 entries so far

Facebook event says 19 !!! Must be somebody with correct info and names, but who ?

I wouldn't rely on responses to a Facebook event - people click they are going regardless of whether they book or not. 9 will be the correct number of actual bookings IMO.

QuoteFacebook event says 19 !!! Must be somebody with correct info and names, but who ?

9 tickets have been sold for MEG . Tickets and who commits to a Facebook event are not linked. Badcon is more than just MeG

There is the possibility that someone has paid by cheque - so not on the Eventbrite ticket list , but I doubt it. Cheque payers are normally DBMM

A deadline for when lists have to be in by would be useful.

Also, will the Burton club be doing the draw for MeG or do you need somebody from the MeG crowd to do it?

2 weeks before

Club will handle the draw

Cheers  ;D

I'll update the original announcement to say lists by 7th February.

The first round draw is done manually , so typically by historic opponent (or by best match)

As scratch player let me know what you want me to bring and if I have it I will !

<updated with club and scratch team>

Scratch is a good list

Parthian or something like Xiongnu.

Numidian or Syracusian

I'm pulling out of BADCON which leaves you on an even number.

cheers

The carpark?

Only 48 spaces, just checking for plan B

No R & R yet then. All runners still going ?

Apparently you don't know anything until you get there.

Fair enough. Will Denham was winding me up about playing him first then. !!!

you prefer not knowing!

I was working on the supposition that nearest in time and geography played each other, by a process of listing, we are the bottom two, and will probably stay that way!  :-*

Well done Pete Entwistle.
Plus MEG won the two best painted armies at the whole Event.

I know I ducked out early (mostly to go and stamp in Nik's white dice), but we're there any results from this apart from our four well deserved places?
I want to know how my opponents did.

Will,

I have emailed Dene for the info on final placings

Thanks

Looks like the scores from Will and my last game have been entered the wrong way around. Thanks to my white dice I won 15-0 and with my other scores of 12, 6 and 8 should be on 41 a point behind Cid.

Many thanks to all who took part, everyone seemed to be having fun.

Special thanks, of course, to my opponents Lee, Roger, Cid and Will - with apologies to the latter for my white dice which were lucky not to be taken outside and crushed underfoot ...

Thanks to all who took the umpiring I was asked to do at times in good grace, especially Hammy who took one that has resulted in a small rule clarification in good humour. I'm sure I got some things wrong, but nobody argued - props to you all  8)
