The latest edition of slingshot has arrived .
It is very good.
Obviously really only for those who are interested in ancient wars.
A good edition.
The slingshot "society" (SOA) is planning to do a greek hoplite battle for its annual battle day.
This would be 2nd . Mantinea. 25th March 2023.
The 362 battle not the 418 battle (obviously ::) )
Anyone interested in doing this with CK???

I think that's the same day that Stewart has pencilled in for MexRev at Entoyment?
Simon
It is Simon but the schedule is flexible , we can play what we want as we are adults (I think) we just play with toys
Stewart
I was thinking of asking the SOA to reschedule their event to avoid the clash, Stewart ;)
Simon
The SOA might wnat to cancel.
Put me down for FM
martin :)
There you go - we've started a movement.
How about having a vote on it on Twitter? :D
Simon
The wise man should know the outcome of a vote before suggesting it.
Not knowing would be silly??
martin :)
I hope Slingshot 342 appeals to a broad range of people :)

He'd have to be a right Twit, I think...
Simon
The SOA day would indeed be good, but I'm rather hoping to get to the Mex Rev day.
I am happy to go with the flow.
Talking of Stewart's battle days, Stewart did you send us a list for nexts years or did they appear on here ? As later this week I was going to put them on the Facebook groups !
Starting with the next HI day in January.
Miles
Found them !
I can posts these up on the next few days
Ready for nexts years diaries!

The Slingshot magazine is obviously for players of ancients games.
The magazine subscription also gives access to the discussion group, which is good.
Not sure what the annual price is, but I remember it as reasonable.
Someone will post it here I hope.
martin :)
It's £27 annually .
One perk is you get discounts for quite a lot of figure manufacturers
Thanks Simon.
I had hoped someone would know easily.
Do you enjoy/recommend it?
martin :)
well I would certainly recommend it......um but then I am biased
macsen wledig (or Magnus Maximus) - I thought I detected an SOA affiliation in your first post :D
It's great to have you on this Forum, but would be nice to have an English name (it can be a pseudonym - many of us are international criminal masterminds in our spare time away from gaming, so have to go under deep cover) to refer to you by?
Simon
henceforth I shall be known by the name......
Dave
(coughs apologetically for the lack of a grandiose name)
Nice to meet you Dave. We will all have to be more polite about SOA henceforth :D
We do have at least one Lance & Longbow committee member who frequents this Forum too - I do hope you will get on.
Great timing to be joining (and maybe a crossover for your respective societies?) as Martin launches his Carolingians on a grateful public!
Simon
