Rules and entry form for the up and coming Pillage

[ketabank]

Posted entry today - I really like the scenario concepts. It adds a different flavour to proceedings.

[dave.p]

Thanks for the words of encouragement.
I hope to post a list of the "entrants so far" at the end of the week.

Hi Dave
I understand Andy Kershaw has already said he will play.
I've been given a weekend Pass by the CinC. So I'll be entering v soon.

[dave.p]

Thanks Andy. I wonder what army you'll bring.

Thanks Marc. Cheque arrived today.

Thanks Andy. I wonder what army you'll bring.

Thanks Marc. Cheque arrived today.

I'm bit torn between a Spanish Army, a Numidian Army and a Republican Roman army. The latter being my favourite choice at the moment just from the choice of Allies it can have.

I’ve been looking at the 32 – 0 scoring system for the WAB GT. And I’ve decided to change it for next year to take into account the larger points being used and to encourage more aggressive play; by not using a totally linier scale. (the old one was not ideal)
Would you like a copy worked out for 4200 pts for you to use at the pillage?

Hi all.

Over the course of this month I'd like to start seeing peoples money and having army choices confirmed.
I don't need army lists until June.

Hi Dave, I will be using my evil chinese. It will be the first time I have been able to use all my chariots (16). Mind you if I have to play Waynes Indians I am doomed.

[dave.p]

Thanks Tony.
I assume that's Han Chinese ?

Dave.P

[TonyStafford]

Yes, Warring states only let me have up to 25% chariots. (silly restriction) so Han it is.

Just a note I can have Xiongnu allies, can I take a unit of Noble cavelry and a unit of horse archers, or do I have to take two units of horse archers

Tony

[dave.p]

From the most up-to-date eratta as I read it :-
Use of Allies and Mercenaries.
Point 2 Any compulsory units.......must be taken first.
Therefore you must have at least 2 units of horse-archers before choosing anything-else.

Dave.P

[TonyStafford]

I knew that really. Oh well back to plan A. Lose a chariot gain another unit of infantry. List will be on its way in next couple of days.

Tony

[dave.p]

How will you manage with only 15 heavy chariots ?

[dave.p]

Hi all.
Here's the revised list of Pillage entrants.

Dave Pearson.........Paid.......Ancient German.....If numbers allow me to play.
David Johnson........Paid.......Ancient Indian
Wayne Richards......Paid.......Hindu Indian
Andrew Kershaw....Paid.......Seleucid
Tony Stafford.........Paid.......Han Chinese
Paul Wallis..............Paid.......Kushan
Graham Wallis..........Paid.......Early Sassanid

[Ceriath]

List sent - let me know if there are any errors etc. cheers Wayne

[Loxodontus Epirotus]

Dave - as you know I would have loved to have come to this however my daughter has her 16th birthday on the 21st and I just won't be able to make the tournament (young madam has put her foot down). Just hoping that all goes well for you and I hope to see you all at the Axes 2012 in Rushden in August.

[dave.p]

Less than a week to go.
Ten players but I get to play now.
Scenario 1
Han Chinese v Ancient Indian
Kushan v Germans (I don't think I'm going to like this)
Sassanid v Imperial Roman
Hindu Indian v Greek
Seleucid v Persian

That'll be 42000pts on the tables.
It is big. It might be clever.

See you there. Dave.P

[dave.p]

Andy Pickering is playing after-all. So I'm back in the reserves.
His Spanish can play the Kushans instead of me - good luck to him..
Good luck to everybody. See you Saturday.
