Any chance you'd have enough time or could get others to post after action reports??? - love reading about battles, especially w/ the lack of time for gaming.
Thanks,

Oh, this rocks! I LOVE the special rule. Dacians *and* Spartacus!!
The Romans and Japanese are no surprise...
Greg, did you take any Knights?

Yes, I had 4 blocks of knights- each with a general -so they only cost an extra 200 points on their "normal" cost
Hey, somebody had to do it. I was originally going to go with Med French but thought that 8 units wasn't really a big enough footprint on 8 by 6 tables.
Will try to post some descriptions of games shortly.

Great theme. Could we consider a Historicon theme tournament along these lines? _________________ Tim |

Echo what Jon said about cool tourney rule.
Theme tourneys are meant to be, well, historical, hence, something like what Greg describes, in itself, isn't terribly applicable.
Now, that isn't to say that it can't be used simply in an open environment or an appropriate historical theme event. I kinda like the concept for the 2000 point Doubles tourney at CW, fwiw.

OK, I'm going to assume you're joking there, Scott (says the guy who plays lots of cavalry armies and expects the format of CW Doubles to be good preparation for the NICT)....

The theme itself worked fairly well. If running it you might even make the mounted more expensive, say 3 times the cost rather than the double that we used.
Stop all those nasty Med Spanish

We tend to take a more flexible view of the word theme down here. Yes we do historical themes but we also play around with all sorts of wierd things.
At one stage we were thinking of running a comp where each player had to show up with an army where the list name used started with the first inital of their surname !! (ie Preston -Prussians)
Didn't end up happening- but I guess it indicates the 'left field' nature of a number of the comps we have. |
