All scenery will be provided all you need to do is bring a 2000 point army and play.

The choice for this will be the European Dark Ages taken from Shieldwall, Age of Arthur and El-Cid.

Following will apply.

• No unit or character can take a lance.
• Only one unit of crossbows may be taken and this must be the smallest unit, with an exception for Pictish crossbows.
• All units that are subject to any Warband rules are subject to all Warband rules.
• Any unit taken from the Allies or Mercenaries point allowance can not benefit from the Generals leadership or the Army Battle Standard. They can only be joined by characters taken as part of the Allies and Mercenaries allowance.

Age of Arthur Addendum

The Romano-British Civitates
• Pedyts only have 1 wound, not the 3 listed.

The Franks
• Peuri cost 11 points each; Mounted Pueri cost 20 points each.

El-Cid Addendum
May only use the following lists:
• Asturias & Early Christian Kingdoms.
• The Caliphate of Cordoba.
• The Tafia Kings.
• The Almoravids.
• No Christian Knights may be taken by any faction.

Shieldwall Addendum

Armies of the Northmen:
• Godi – makes a unit immune to fear, terror and panic only;
• Use B:BTGG p88 for Berserkers only.

Kingdoms of Hibernia
• Add 0-1 Fianna to Common Warriors alongside Bonnachs and Kerns for all variants.

Sounds good - it may be a prob for me though as it is very close to Victorias birthday.

So it's 2000 points on 6 X 4's yes?

looks like a good event Tommy.

Poo, I really need to get a damned army painted! I'll just come down and drink beer and harass folks.

Maybe I can take Arthur with Republican Roman or Crusader allies

Yes mate, 2000 points on 6x4

Thanks for the heads up but September is a long way away.

Your welcome Justin, its not as far away as you might think, its only four months you know.

Thank you though for taking the time and effort to make such a helpful post.

Always happy to help, as you know.

The latest beneficiaries are the participants in the Sumerian campaign weekend at Nottingham, with 4000 points of my Sumerians on loan. Its amazing what can be achieved behind the scenes.

Nearly

I'm going to provisionally say i'll come to this. I'm challenging myself to purchase and paint a WAB army between now and the event! I really need a WAB army again from the dark ages, so i've gone for almoravids, I think i've the highest chances of getting these guys painted.

Best I order them from Gripping Beast pronto!

I was going to do an egyptian army, and I still will, but theres not many events for it at the moment, so these guys will do as my nice sandy looking army.

Thats me paid up, best my minis come fast!!

Minis are here, wish me luck!

Tommy, when you say no Christian Knights from El Cid, do you mean the merc knights from the allies lists?

This is only a limitation to Christian Holy Order Knights, as part of a main list or allies.

You can take Mercs from the dogs or war section. Good rule of thumb, if it has barding or even the option for barding you can not have it

Gotcha, cheers mate. I think I might stick to Islamic Fundamentalists anyway now that i've looked up the lists properly, maybe with a unit of Ghuzz Horse Archers in there just to give me a fun unit.

So glad you've disabled berserkers from shield wall!!!

But none of the lists that you specified can take Military Order Knights anyway.

As it stands both the Andalusians and the Almoravids have access to heavy cavalry with ferocious charge via the mercenaries section. The early christian list dosn't have access to these knights, was this what you were trying to even out?

Yes, sorry thats correct.

Are you and Steve coming down for the day mate?

Yes, I want to. I've not been to Maelstrom yet so I'd also be interested to see what they've done.

Steve will be a no show as I think he's already got other plans for that weekend.

There are now 9 players down for this event with more expressing an interest and I am close to reaching capacity. If you wish to attend please send you application through as soon as possible as it will be first come first served.

how Many more places have you got Tommy?

I'm getting the feeling it would be nice to actually just turn up and play at an event

You would make 10 Tim, so nicely balanced. I would enter if it evened up the numbers, I have a Norman army which has not seen the light of day for a long time.

Now its nearer the time, choices have to be made.

There are still a few more Tim, come on down

Four weeks left to enter this event.

I have been told by Maelstrom that there is no issue with occupancy for this event, so if you want to bring a party of folks down, please do so.

I am trying to organise a group from the CACK club - strange how everyone has been building a Dark Age army - should we be aiming for an odd or even number of folks?

I am easy either way Justin, if we end up with an odd number overall I will step in and play so no one will loose out.

Thanks for that. I will let them know.

Looking forward to this. Dont forget Tommy, that I would like to "GRUDGE" Keith Tait for my first game. Not played him in ages (used to be a regular weekly opponent).
