Just left Preston.  Mildly moist outside and very moist inside.  John West could learn from LNER.  Still wargames all weekend so small price to pay.

So, what news?

Anybody?

Searching for a fuel dump

Massive thanks to everyone who was at Britcon and the organisers. Top weekend all round 

Mid-table mediocrity for the Edward IV army. About what I was expecting. Richard, Duke of Gloucester, did, however, beat King Richard III along the way 

6 fun games with narry a cross word or rules argument. All felt very relaxed - although I'm sure it was a little tenser up at the top, but I never experienced those dizzy heights 

So how did my predictions do.

Top 5
1.   Jason Broomer
2.   John   Munro
3.   Laurence Donohoe
4.   Gilles   Wielgosz
5 = Hunter Hope
5 = Nik Gaukroger

Dark Horse:  Stephen Stead

Jason 2nd (lost by 1 point. Not tricky enough)
John 1st (Big up to the Scots)
Laurence 8th (that'll teach you to use my army list)
Giles 11th (I picked the wrong johnny foreigner)
Hunter 13th (crushed beneath the responsibility of delivering the score cards to the BHGS office)
Nik 11th ( I suspect the delights of Manchester got the better of him)

Stephen 15th don't know what happened here. A lot of very, very low scoring games by him and his opponents.

Honourable mentions to Paul Cummins, Sam Street and Dave Parish (you must send me your list)

And finally, Jacques and his Panzer Division.  Last seen parked in the Ardennes, refusing to come out to fight.

A great weekend, thanks to Hunter and RJC for organising stuff (providing pencils for filling in score sheets, who would have thought), 6 great games (thanks Sam, Jason, Hunter, Robin, Cid and Serge).  Didn't quite manage the quickest game ever (tm) against Robin, but we both had a good go at it.  My dice finally bounced back against Cid (actually more the cards crippled him at an opportune time)...and for the first time since the 2019 rules update, I managed to not play like a (complete) numpty.  Though waving the flank of my huscarls at Jason's Almughavers was probably not my finest moment.  And overall a place higher than Britcon last year.  If I keep this up I may get into the medals.

Excellent weekend against six very good opponents with every game played in good spirits. Roll on 2020.

Looked great fun.
Sorry to have missed it but I'll be back next year.

Been progressing the new book over he weekend.
Coming along nicely.
Some lovely artwork in it.

Thanks everyone for a fun filled basho.

Well done to the worthy winners - a 6 game format is a true test in every way and it takes some doing to place on the podium.
