Does this mean:

It will be an 800 point tournament, however you are allowed an additional 50 points if these points are spent on troops that have wheels (such as chariots / battlewagons / war wagons). List checker will decide on dubious "wheeled" items on a case by case basis.

David,

"The army can be any army or ally from the existing lists of swifter than eagle, immortal fire and legions triumphant " - Do you mean Rise of Rome rather than LT? Also are any lost scrolls or Empires of the dragon armies eligible?

Thanks

Jon

[lakedaimon]

Good point raised, I missed off rise of Rome. Lost scrolls are in as well. I will have a quick think about the other books that cover this period.

Yes. Burton have moved their doubles tournament back a week, not our fault! David

[lakedaimon]

That is a shame Paul, perhaps Burton need to look at their date. We are always the last weekend in Feb.

David

Thanks for putting this on again David. I've sent my £25 to Alan via PayPal. Unfortunately the email address dsf2000@yahoo.com appears to be invalid. Please advise.

As the V3 lists have now been published presumably these must be used where applicable? Or can we still use the old lists if we prefer?

[lakedaimon]

I will clarify.

You can use armies or allies from any of the existing FOG books Or the new book one, but you cannot mix and match, so no book one army with original book allies, or visa versa. If the new book two comes out, it is not available for belgarum.

Also, wheeled hand cart defences are not eligible for the fifty points extra. It must be a army unit, not a general. Nor are wheeled shield walls....I have been asked....

David

Armies can be Up to and including 25BC.

[lakedaimon]

Sign ups have hooded in, so we are looking strong.

There are still places as we lots of space, but over fifteen now

David

[petedalby]

What is the deadline for lists David? And presumably you will be the list checker?

[madaxeman]

For some reason this weekend seems to be a Bermuda triangle for runners and riders - nothing published in months for this, or for Burton ..!

[lakedaimon]
