And now for the full version! And so onto the final game vs Phil Powell and his LRR army. Phil had taken me apart at Britcon and I hoped that my reimagined 900 AP army would prove a sterner test for him. My anti Roman 900 AP list was an IC, 2 x TC, 1 x 10 Sup Pike, 3 x 10 Avg Pike, 3 x 6 Thracians w...

On Sunday morning I found I was drawn against Brian Espie and his Dacians. The Dacian Falxmen are quite scary as they are Sup Impact foot with HW. I decided to stick to my plan and went with my 800 AP choice as did Brian. Brian’s army was IC + TC, 4 x 6 Falxmen, 2 x 10 Warriors, 4 x 8 Warriors, 1 x ...

Having managed to string 2 wins together I am in 2nd place and my reward is to play Paul Bartlett who is leading at this point with his Early Successor. As per my strategy I go with my 850 AP version but Paul trumps me and plays his 900 AP army. If you thought Chris had a lot of pike – check this lo...

Game 2 is against Dave Morrison using Eastern Han. Dave is fielding the Steppe version which is entirely cavalry. I think Dave’s army is 3 x TC, 1 x 4 LH Bow, 2 x 4 Unprotected Cav Bow, Sw – undrilled, 2 x 4 Prot Cav XB Sw, 4 x 6 Arm Cav LtSp Sw, 2 x 4 Arm Cav LtSp Sw and 1 x 4 Elite Arm Cav XB Sw. ...

The Northern Classic was a new 5 game event hosted by MAWS. The theme was any army from 500 BC to 500 AD. The twist was variable points. Each player would use an 800 AP army twice, an 850 AP army twice and a 900 AP army once. Points were not declared until after deployment. I thought my Alexandrian ...

I'm sure David will respond if I have this wrong but having travelled back with him from Manchester I believe I understand the restriction. But apologies if I have it wrong. The list of armies and date range are as above. The restriction applies to 'Legionaries'. So anyone with 'Legionary or Legiona...

Thanks to everyone at MAWS for putting on this new event for us. I really enjoyed the variable points format. I had 5 great games vs Chris, Dave, Paul, Brian & Phil. Good to see Phil wining the prize draw given he had 3 times the work checking all of the lists. And full marks to Pamela for all o...

I don't think so.

All terrain choices are replaced with Steppe refers to all 4 of the choices for the list. If you want a definitive answer I suggest you email that nice Mr Shaw.

FWIW I agree with Messrs Fairhurst & Espie. If my Alex Mac army invades the E Han with their Steppe list then I know I have to choose Steppe if I win initiative. But if the E Han invade Macedonia they don't get to bring the Steppe with them. If they win initiative they can choose from Agricultur...

Looks an awful lot like a re-run of Britcon but with variable points instead of variable table sizes. Should be fun.

There's a few. And there are still a few pike and LB. But not too many hopefully.

Oh yes - big time. You can read all about it when I get around to writing up my AARs.

Terry won, Graham Evans 2nd & Paul Bartlett 3rd. Some numpty who made some poor decisions in his final game came 4th. Another great weekend of wargaming though and 4 cracking games vs Craig, Steve M, Steve B & Terry - thank guys. I thought Graham chose a very interesting theme with a good mi...

I have emailed Brian but no reply as yet.

Thanks Dave - and the deadline for lists?

And could you remind us of the format now that we have 5 games please? I can't find your email so it would be useful to post it here too.

Thanks

Officially there is no year zero - unless you are Pol Pot.

Well done Steve - great to see that we're up to 24 entries with a good mix of armies.

Thanks Steve
