Tournament for obscure armies. Americas, some African, some Asian armies

[lionheartrjc]

Would there be interest in a tournament themed to cover the more "obscure" armies?

The list would include:
Any army from the three Americas  sets.
From the Africa set:  Kingdom of Benin; Kilwa Sultanate; Bantu Kingdoms; Kongo; Central African.
From the South East Asian set:  Indonesian or Malay (max 2 Elephants); Moluccas.
From Mandate of Heaven:  Erlitou Chinese; Chinese Northern Barbarians (pre 700 BCE).
From Spain, Sicily and Africa;  Sicel (no allies); Sardinian (no allies); First Servile War Slave Revolt.
Special pleading might be allowed for other really obscure armies or variants.  Any army with more than 6 decent cavalry, camelry or 3 or more elephants won't be allowed! 

If there is sufficient interest, I will see if I can organise something around Guildford area.
If you might be interested, please reply to this topic.  If you are interested but don't have any army, I have several I could lend (as I can field at least 4 armies from the above list!).

Hi Richard .. yes would be very interested in this - an excellent opportunity to bring the Bantu out of hiding

I would be interested, if I had time to find and paint army to play with. So for me it depends when you are considering this.

Can I bring Southern Mapouche 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Obviously I'll be there if real life doesn't intervene.

No idea about army

If Kingdom of Benin why not Hausa? Neighbours et al...

Yes, very interested. Wonder if any of the Oceanian lists are valid too?
I have 15 28mm rugby players who claim to be Maoris.

Finding a free weekend to hold the event will be a bit challenging!

At the moment the only spare weekend I appear to have is 4th/5th December.  That is between Warfare and Ribble Rumble.
Would that be suitable?  If we can't find 6 platers then we will postpone to next year.

Oceania lists would be valid.  I am happy to consider any non-cavalry/camelry army list as long as you make the army suitably obscure and naff.

I have a big family party down at Ferring that weekend. SWMBO will cut my nuts off!

[steads]

Definitely interested. Probably have 2 permitted armies!
Cannot make the morning of the 4th December as I am giving a lecture.

Richard ... any update on this ??

[lionheartrjc]

The issue, as ever, is identifying a suitable date.  Won't be in 2021, but I hope maybe for sometime in 2022.

Yes, certainly interested.
Prize for the worst army maybe?
