Southern League London Round
I'd posted a few times on this in `any other Southern league rounds'. We've now looked at how viable this is and we now have reliable use of our venue when required on a Sunday with plenty of notice.
I have posted this to our website http://www.ilfordwargamesgroup.co.uk, and rather than repeating the blurb on venue etc. here I'll develop it there.
headlines are.
Date 31-7
Three games
Duty & Glory + late Turks. 1660-1688.
Usual restrictions on artillery numbers (1 gun for every 6 elements of battle infantry with no deployment being able to shoot into flank sectors
Pre-set terrain
3 games @ 800 point.
Cost as per website - (to be confirmed as we have not yet formally approached the local `catering').
My email is on the website for anyone who would prefer to communicate that way.
Regards
Paul K

Re: Southern League London Round
Me too.
Re: Southern League London Round
Will this be 15 or 25mm old bean?
Re: Southern League London Round
15mm. It'll mean I can lend out several armies to club members who are interested but have not played in a comp before.

Re: Southern League London Round
Thanks for all responses so far - that by my calculation makes 7 at this stage - likely 5 or 6 from the club - already a viable day
Re: Southern League London Round
Two more possibles from MKWS?
Re: Southern League London Round
Excellent.
Re: Southern League London Round
Why the end date of 1688?
Re: Southern League London Round
Mainly to limit the number of armies with all musket / bayonet options.
Re: Southern League London Round
And the original intent was the end of King James 2n'd reign.

Re: Southern League London Round
This would then take out the Anglo-Dutch list for the League of Augsberg, the Jacobite Irish list and the Scots Jacobites? That only leaves me with the French (which I suspect most would then go for!)Paulkit0 wrote:And the original intent was the end of King James 2n'd reign.

Re: Southern League London Round
Being picky...
The Glorious Revolution was 1688, the Battle of Reading was fought by Williamite Anglo-Dutch in that year.

So you can't have James in Ireland, but you can have William!

Re: Southern League London Round
And William's army for Killikrankie too but using the Restoration Army list.
Re: Southern League London Round
Oops that's 1689!

And there was me thinking that it was just a New Style / Old Style dating issue...

Certain Jacobites might suggest that 1690 (Battle of the Boyne) or 1701 would then be more appropriate end dates...
