Some interesting armies in there. Looking forward to seeing how Maximilian and the Asian armies go. Classical and shooty cavalry armies are thin on the ground - is this due to relatively short game time or are they not very good?

Disappointed I can't make it this year, hope Will and Paul will go ok without me gifting them 15 points 😉

Btw, Hunter didn't you come top 5 last year? I reckon the podium is calling...

Fair analysis mate.   Won't be the same without ya - who am I gonna share the breakfast table with - maybe next year eh?  Yeah, I fluked a decent showing last year right enough but you can only surf your luck for so long before you are caught out and dumped on your bahooky!   Britcon in August last year taught me that!

Pre draw 1-2-3 predictions.

1. Alasdair (who else)
2. John Munro (dark horse form the North)
3. Ray Duggins (his time has come)

Anyone disagree?

HH
Aye, Hunter, what were you on last night.

My high horse of course - we are Khawarij after all ..........

Having predicted Britcon top 3 last year, I'm going to save blushes by saying, everyone deserves a medal. You've all done very well!

Nik G will be taking over Stuart Tonge's Field Marshall's baton on the Sunday fellahs.  He's using Mid Sassanid.

BANTER BOOSTER ...

First round draw.  Entirely random (can't play club members or, if from USA/France, people from your own country until day 2).  First attempt worked! :D

Some fine match ups ...  see you soon.

Great! Ottoman Turks! Right out of the gate my poor Ellie's face all the skilled bow in the Ancient world. Only one option- SUBMARINE STRATEGY!!! I can always limit the scale of the disaster by frequent trips to the men's room...
Miniature Wargaming is the only completely honorable form of warfare ever invented by man.

Not a problem - 5 games gives scope for one bum result.

Draw 6 is a belter 5th vs 6th seed both with Crown of Aragon!   Must look in on that one once Frederic has cleared my lead from the table!   Also the Bamarised Boys vs the Turkish Terrors - could be a corker!

Or gave we all just gone to seed?
