They can be beaten.

Easy to say when you won't be there!

A more interesting bet is on how many Swiss Keils you will face this weekend.

I'll go for five.

Dave

Would our army would be "Firm Austrian" if we had Swiss in it?

Look forward to playing you game 4 then

Alasdair

So not planning to finish in the top five eh?

Might have to reduce my stake to 5p.

I'm okay with either as long as you lay off the garlic bread[th].

Hi Tim, excellent reports as usual and many congrats on toppling the big A.

Whoops, I'm going to have to drop out of this as something more important has cropped up.

See y'all next year,

Just a quick check - if the army can't have 16 bases of mounted battle troops is it excluded from the competition?

Dave

In case I haven't said it already, me too please.

Dave A

Just to be picky, I assume that the restriction on Horse should read: - No more than 50% of Mounted Battle Groups can be Superior Just so I can't turn up with a 100% Superior Cavalry army. Still leaves the problem of armies that can have large numbers of LH. How about: - No more than 50% of Mounted ...

Point was, Nigel, that Tim's suggested list was the only obviously European one.

Dave

It's not really a joke if you have to explain it.

In an Asian/African themed competition!?

My opinion, in a Tuareg army you're relying on the Cm to win with, so you'll need a mixture of 6s for durability and 4s for flexibilty. If they're allies, say in a Sudanese army, you won't have enough Cm to win a game on their own. By deploying them in 4s they might smash through opposition mounted ...

If you insist

but, just in case, I'll try to get it to you in the next few days

Dave

Very tempting Christian.

Just let me check the hotels.

I do hope it wasn't me.

Sounds good to me, but please not the weekend after Britcon.

Dave

Not a bad army Richard, in fact fairly similar to the ones that gave me a hammering at Koblenz. My problem and I suspect yours arises from the large proportion of average troops. For example - an undamaged armoured keil of 14 bases with a general charges into 4 bases of MF. I win the impact, the MF ...
