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.

four? only two have dates fully post 1500 and thats the Samurai. Mali empire could be included as well as that runs to 1670.

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.

May I ask respectfully why my Nikephorians are not mentioned while they scored better than 3 of the mentioned armies 

Don't worry I will not commit suicide out of dispair

My apologies to Jacques for completely overlooking his Byzantines.  The fact it was such a compact army is no excuse (only 8 TuGs if memory serves).  A very strong performance.

8 TUGS your memory is good. I think I must have brought the smallest army of the tournament ( easy to pack and travell ) and I might have faced the most numerous army on the field ( 13 TUGS the bedouins ) unless there is a 14/15 TUGs army somewhere 

It was hard work and really fun !Even loosing vs the Mauryan indians was fun because it all depended on who would break one more enemy TUG as both armies where on the brinl of routing ...as you guess I lost the race at that point.

All good games and special Thanks to Nik for the saturday afternoon game . He will know why .

A major mistake in your reporting. Huub lives in Leuven and Belgium, even flanders, is NOT part of the Netherlands 

You will have to study your geography of europe
