Could you post the date of the lists - always aids the banter.

All post 1065.

Well I'm glad you managed to remember that bit. Actual date for each list beyond you?

Nik dear friend there is little of good or bad that is beyond me. Army list dates will be shared at noon tomorrow!

Appreciate that mate 

Find me for a thank you for that hard work drink or two when we're there next week - really do appreciate people like you stepping up and doing the back room stuff to make comps run

Nik's off the cuff immediate reaction to the armies chosen.

Medieval Burgundian - bunch of English wannabes  An OK choice.

Catalan Company in Anatolia - high octane, hard hitting, possibly a bit risky. Can go big if played well. 

Norman - never dies wondering 

Feudal German - solid, competitive and a bit dull 

Medieval German City league - see Feudal German.

Sultanate of Rum - a favorite of mine, but I'm trying to force myself away from shooty cavalry for a bit. Not sure it can string enough big wins together over 6 games though. Fun. 

Timurid - really not sure 

Edward IV English - challenging myself really with 6 games, but I'll let you decide if its a good choice or not   

Eastern Seljuq Turk - have looked at it for a different competition, has some nice options. Interesting. 

Georgian - Dave lives up to his reputation for picking an oddball. Should be fun 

Richard III - a horse, a horse! Will King Richard do better than Richard, Duke of Gloucester? A comp within a comp 

Anglo-Norman - bit iffy IMO 

Ghaznavid - I nearly went wit this, can surprise people ... 

Aragonese Sicilian - knights and Almughavars, nice on paper 

Medieval Frisian - see Feudal German 

Late Swiss - in the running for smallest army? 

How to make friends and influence people. Nik, did get his deposit back from the diplomacy college.

Ach away John.  Me and Nik go way back to DBM days.  Nik has high expectations having been at the organising and execution side of Britcon for many years and much appreciated that was too.  You don't owe me ought Nik - it's just my turn. It's all good banter!

I think this maybe the first time i have ever had an army choice described as dull

Ahem... (CENSORED) 😈

Benzin, gib mir benzin !

Wasn't the banter supposed to have started already ?

I play swiss so stay neutral while training to run as quickly as horses do

Rainy days in Manchester ?

Probably not, they would have been behind their screen then.
