Battle day June 7th

[Leman (Andy)]

Mithridates clearly had. It's all getting a bit Benny Hill.

He was a  superb king in view of the problems he had to overcome.
He was however brutal, vindictive and cunning.
Possibly a man of his times.

Probably better to be the Roman emperor. You might get killed by the Praetorians or similar but you can send out an army and repeat if it gets beaten. Just send another army. You often don't need to lead the army yourself. For most kings a lost battle was far more serious as they had the one army.

I  discovered that I have no dead or half markers. Will be doing that this week.

I am very jealous that if you find a gap in one of your armies you can just take a walk up the garden to get your new figures. But at the speed Mike and Nigel turn my orders around, it's only slightly quicker than ordering online 😅

[martin goddard]

I have now finished my dead and half bases.
My Carolingians are looking really  ready. What can go wrong in the battles?

martin

[martin goddard]

I think all is set for the day (great plans can go wrong though).
Cloths.
Stewart, Derek and martin(two) are each bringing one. Anyone else have one to bring?

Due to the hospital cancelling my appointment for Saturday, I can now make it. However, I can see we are 10 players and I don't want to upset the fine balance of things. If there's space I can bring my Ancient Germans.

No worries if not, I'll hopefully get down for the next get day.

[Stewart 46A]

Sean please come along if you're free, we can always double up for a game if everyone one else makes it.
If you have a table set up ,that would be useful as well

Stewart

[Sean Clark]

Fantastic. Not sure if Ive everything I need for a table though. I'll check.

[Smiley Miley 66]

Sean I am always happy to double up on a game.
I am still learning the rules and the period of History ?
Miles

[Sean Clark]

Sounds good. I can bring down a tables worth of scenery and a cloth.

[martin goddard]

Yes please Sean.
