I seem to have taken the only Chariot army list.  Should I be worried?

If that was an appeal for the sympathy vote then failed miserably.

As the Southern Mapuche has been taken for this comp and the list is in the 2020.1 PDF, here is the list for reference.

I would not be worried, you have lot of mobility and good shooters

[martymagnificent]

Very efficient the Mitanni chariots. Skilled shooter and no points spent on anything much else.

Nearly no one took a shock mounted army but there are mounted shooty, a bit of foot shooty and some anti cavalry armies with solid infantry either roman or lS or renaissance style pikes..

my mounted army is shocking, oh wait wrong context for shock

In addition to the above confirmed entries we are pleased to announce that Panos Papadoc from Greece is, all being well, hoping to attend and will be using Almoravid (in Africa), 1090 CE, from the Reconquista PDF.

Congratulations to John Munro for winning. 

Thanks to everyone who took part for giving the umpires such an easy time of it! 
Thanks to my opponents for putting up with my slippery army!

List of armies which did well (top 9 - not necessarily in this order):
James IV Scottish  - John
Hussite - Cid
Takeda Japanese - Lee
Sengoku Japanese - Mark
Late Swiss - Steve
Sultanate of Rum - Nik
Imperial Roman - Paul
Mali Empire - Jason
Mitanni - Me!

Four of these are 16th century armies and fall into the scope of Renatio et Gloriam.

Particular mention to Paul Stovell and Mark Hargreaves who both got into the top 9 despite being relative newcomers to MeG.
Also worth mentioning how close the scoring was,  I believe 4th to 9th separated by only 3 or 4 points.

Hope everyone got home safely without running out of fuel.
