Will be nice to catch up

Three weeks to go Gents - time to start posting up armies I think.

I'm planning on Thracian, assuming I can get some Cavalry painted

Hi Cyrus, as a newbie, an example of how you want to see an army list would be very useful. I have it drafted, but what format would you like it? Thanks

damn

where is the creepy organ music when it is needed

the dark lord returns....

welcome back Dax. you have been missed

Muhahahahaha

Gentlemen the game has evolved somewhat - kindly do likewise :-)

I am sure envious of this Impetus tournament. Sounds great. Someday I'd love to build a holiday around attending one of the main British shows that has an Impetus tournament and taking part. I do have family (through my wife) that live in south England so it is not so far fetched. Best wishes to you all (and hope you get an odd number of participants Cyrus so you can play!)

I've updated the main entry with the armies people have mentioned they're bringing - still provisional until they get their full list in.
