YORK Sunday 7th Feb 2016 Impetus Tournament

Hi There I did say I might have to get back to you all.

Firstly can someone confirm that it is a 400 pt army lists, I have been studying for 350 pts but now reading the above posts it may well be 400 pts?

I'm pretty sure that the max / mins are to be halved as from Kens previous post.

I will rebalance.

Good luck for York everyone. Think posting lists is the way to go for competitions in the UK this year and makes interesting reading even if you are not playing in the contest.

See John is going for the maximum number of figures deployed in a 400 point army?

Obviously I will be routing for the local Warwickshire entrant Tony and his Burgundian army!

Sorry for Delay but have been wargaming Monday and Last night      
any probs let me Know

Mark

Quick clarification - one of the players asked me about placing BUAs as the "new" Advanced was silent. Lorenzo has confirmed that the situation remains as before - the attacker can dice to place (5+) and the defender can choose to burn \ garrison as per main rules

I had a practice tonight (Johns Scots are very hard to beat..... encourage him to roll 3 x 6's on general Cohesion tests!) and realised I had to move a unit to make the VD's balance.

Sorry Guys .. ready now!

Hi Guy's,

As I said previously I had a game with John this evening and he mentioned that the Korean list actually has a problem. We checked and sorry... he is right .

The Army list in the army list book does say that a C in C general CANNOT be attached to the regular Infantry large units. A sub general can be but not the C in C.

It may change the balance of the Army but just thought it was worth discussing?

CB

Well spotted - I'll advise Paul

Fixed list

by which he means he swapped the generals around so the CinC is in the Cavalry

Ok Gents. It's seven minutes past seven and I'm here in the Rat Race Ale House on Hartlepool railway station, purveyor of excellent real ales and general good fellowship. And here without further ado is the draw, witnessed by the rest of the clientele.

Drum roll.

James vs John
Tony vs Leigh
Mark vs Ken
Paul vs Colin

Good luck gents, see you tomorrow

Well done Ken!

I'm sure your impartial observers were absolutely fascinated by what you were doing!

I too have been partaking of some real Ale as of course any true Wargamer must do on the night preceding conflict!

Look forward to meeting up with you all tomorrow!

Thanks Ken for organizing a super day. I hope everyone else enjoyed it as much as I did:bounce:

Thank you all for a really fun day, Well done Ken.

I was wondering ..... why is Mark .... uuuuumm ...Marked?

That is, on the final list he is marked as, *Mark? !

As for my thoughts on the 400 points, it does give a bit more flexibility on the armies and the results do, at first glance, seem to show a similar number of wins to draws as in the Past.

I would say it worked.

It looks like a few more tests at this number are required!

Hi Colin - in response to your query, Mark was *Marked because I typed it out with my big fingers on my little phone screen :-)
