What about Dark Ages (Normans/Vikings type thing)and/or “Divine Wind” samurai and enemies? Thinking aloud ..... maybe kissing your sister a bit, but with Chinese and Korean armies may work

Couldn’t that be somewhat mitigated by theme rules? Are there many lists with that many SHC available to shift the balance of power?

Scott elsewhere suggested that for the Teutonic themed tournament he was going to introduce a frozen lake terrain type. I was intrigued by this, as having a terrain specialized to appear in only one climate type sounds interesting. But, then I actually had a decent idea. As part of the theme, we could have a terrain piece competition for the frozen lake as part of the theme that day similar to the camp competition. Scott would need to fix the size of the frozen lake terrain and what features it should have, but that should be straight forward. Notionally as an example, the terrain requirements could laid out like this:

1. Size - the frozen lake must be at least 240 paces across the minor diameter and no more than 600 paces across the major diameter. The overall shape is intended to be roughly elliptical.
2. There should be a 60 pace wide shore and safe ice perimeter around frozen lake feature.
3. The interior of the perimeter is treacherous ice subject to collapse if crossed by routers, etc.

Living in Florida, someone with more experience would need to help with should be the perimeter be clear or difficult terrain, would the interior of the frozen lake be clear or difficult, etc.

Thanks,

Jamie

I'd say the interior of a frozen lake would be rough (like a brush, but without the ability for any troops to 'hide')...I've walked and even run on frozen lakes, not easy...but not like a Bog/Marsh or Woods with uneven ground.

As for the shore/perimeter...that really varies. They can be open or rough or very rough, depending on the shoreline prior to snow/freezing/ice and the amount of snowfall and nature of the ice interaction with the shore...so, really up to the tournament organizer.

Good Afternoon all - wondered if we had any timeline on weighting for Elephant theme and armies and weighting for the team event -I have plenty of elephants but will need to paint infantry/cavalry so the sooner I can pick an army the better chance that I can run something other than Macedonian
Also for Cold ewars - looking forward to seeing list options and weighting, as again I will probably need to paint some lead
Thanks
