Actually the Frisian/ Feudal German Army is ok but it is so boring to play. This coming from someone who is playing Feudal German with Frisian allies combo at Britcon. I really wanted switch but had not played other eligible armies enough.
The pain starts on Friday at 6 p.m.

If I can remind you of my analysis - "Feudal German - solid, competitive and a bit dull  "

Nicely done Nik.

I am actually looking forward to playing solid, competitive and dull at Britcon after the Khawarij which were loose, challenging and nail biting at Skulls.   My first choice was Post Seljuk Abbasid which was very Khawarij in nature with the added nail biting attraction of 4 TUGs of unprotected Bedouin cavalry.   On reflection I don't think my constitution would have stood for it!

Jason not Stewart surely - assuming you mean a comp within the Catalans.

[Hunter]

No, no no

The "competition within the competition" which decides the true hero of the weekend is the race to beat the ranking based outcome prediction.

1.Niall
2.Giles
3.Stewart 

for that.

You have now kicked off the "competition within the army pick competition".

For the Catalan component my pick is

1.Jason
2.Stewart
3.Giles

For the German Junket my pick is

1.John
2.Paul
3.HH

Hope that makes no sense.

I really dont find the (early) Feudal German boring to play with... though now -/Farm get to move as fast as protected the shortspear/dev charge cav is a little less fun

[Hunter]

Thank goodness.  I was getting a bit worried about my Britcon experience having never played the Feudal Germans before.   Friday night will be my first game with them!  Any advice?

Ah du liber Augustin allés sur gin.
Mad is weg, geld is weg, Augustin liegt  in dregt...

Apart that no advice

Maybe a beer and bradwurst for lunch?

Well thanks for the advice lads, I'm certainly a whole lot clearer about how to play this feudal German army now.  I am so glad that I asked.

[marshalney2000]

Yeah dont walk in at the same time as Mr Stead otherwise your screwed 

Despite having different labels I doubt the contents of the two armies will be that different.

Well that is what this forum is about. Ask and you will be as ignorant as before. Just joking.
