Look forward to running the first MeG event there and if it goes well then I'll run more events!

Yep should be there. Curious as to why chariots, Early Medieval, Late Medieval but no Classical lists. Probably should have just said Open.
Because of the basically classical comps that are running in the first few months of next year - this just keeps things a bit different and still allows a huge range of armies.

Just did a full mail out to all MEG Players
I've purchased a ticket
Hi James. I have asked Pete at Entoyment to withdraw me from the ADLG event at Beachead and switch the entry fee to your event. I asked him to enter myself and Laurence. As when and if this ever shows up I don't know so count myself and Laurence in. Money is defo paid as I did it last month. He (Pete) is aware.
Bookings are going well to get to 12 players already then. That's 6-7 already (possibly more, I'll check bookings with Pete) and still a month to go.
Looking forward to getting 100 years war English out of their box and trying the new mixed units.
Got my ticket. Ill be there with Swiss for a Swiss system :)

How are you defining "non classical" for the purposes of this? Just the Classical lists set or a date range?
Morning,
Anything from the classical list books can't be used as the core of the force but can use used as allies... for example Median Empire from the Charriot Age could select its allies from a Classical Book
Anything else from any other period or region is fine, so any Asian, American or African lists that fall into the traditional dates for the classical period can be taken
As per Simon's suggestion there are alot of classical comps so it's as open as possible for taking anything else youd like to use
Kind Regards
Hello James,
Are there any spaces left for your tournament?
Lance.
Yes. I just played James and he mentioned it. Tickets on the store website.👍🏼
Ray
Thanks Ray.
Have just entered.
Lance.
Awesome, thanks for signing up! We got another signup too so we are at at least 10 with two others unsure but maybe coming
I have already asked for more spaces and Pete at the shop says it's fine!
Kind regards
Excellent turn out.
Superb
List sent
List sent and approved
All lists are checked and good to go so... I did an independently adjudicated draw with some confused work colleagues
Round 1
Ian (Neo-Babylonian) vs Lance (Almoravid)
James (Later 100 Years War English) vs RJC (Mitanni)
Nigel (Rajput Indian) vs Ray (Arab Conquest)
Cid (Hussite) vs Bruce (New Kingdom Egyptian)
Robin (Eastern Seljuk Turk) vs Nik (Lusignan Cypriot)
Looking forward to Sunday!
Yikes, Mitanni vs Later 100 Years War English - what could possibly go wrong for the Mitanni!
JA starting draw based upon army date might have produced some better match ups...

We could have used Jacques software. Did anyone pick it up at the weekend?
Not my point! My point was that if you are going to run an open competition - don't randomly draw the first round, draw based upon the date of the army.
FWIW My view is it is always far easier to do a tournament manually instead of using a computer.
Richard
p.s. I am open to suggestions on how I fight a Later 100 Yrs War English with Mitanni. I can't even hide up a forested mountain....

I wouldn't be too worried I'm not that good!
Also you're far more mobile than most of my TuGs so can get around the sides
As its a fun event I can promise im not going to corner sit as that would be dull!
Horse Archers v Massed Crossbow !!!!! I do hate and I mean hate open type comps. Might be last one for me. Still at least I live not to far away so should be able to pop home for circa 3 hours between games zzzzz
You've been pushing for comps with a wider date spread for the past few months, so when you get one you complain because of the draw :o
Its not as if my army isn't of a style that is contemporary with yours anyway - it's basically a crusader army and you could face pretty much what it is if the comp were just armies from the Crusades book or a date range around that ;D
Always disliked Open. All Classical. All Early Medieval or all Late Medieval is my preference, well at least not Late Medieval ;D ;D ;DAlso by not allowing Classical it rules out my Bactrians, Mid Roman. Late Roman. Foederate Sassanids and Goths. Could have use Arabs but didnt think of them. Anglo Danes not yet finished since being Nerfed.
Aah all this emotion ... just go find a way to beat some Xbows.
After your heroics in Brussels shouldn't be too hard! ;)
There is always a way in Mortem et Gloriam if you think widely enough.

Late Romans/foederates could, no doubt, be used for the Eastern Late Roman in the Byzantium book (which is not classical). The Sasanid list in the same book is very similar to the Middle Sasanid and the Goths I would expect to morph to armies like the Tolosan Visigoths, etc. which again are outside the classical set. The Baktrians and MRR I will agree are out but 4 of those 6 look usable in this theme to me ;)
Have fun all. Post photos and results.

Thank you to James for organising the event and to Entoyment for hosting.
Richard
Indeed, very enjoyable day :D
