Central London - Southern League FoGR 1 Day comp

I'm organising the one day FoGR comp in London as part of Southern League circuit

These are the details

Period - Rise of Gustavus Adophus

Date - Sunday 26th July

Venue - The Escape Sports Bar, 2 Lidlington Place, Regents Park, London NW1 2JU (2 minutes walk from Mornington Crescent tube). If you want to drive, parking is controlled on Sundays in the streets immediately around the pub, but if free a couple of blocks away (in some streets which may be somewhat less secure?) - otherwise there are car parks nearby as well

• Format – 3 x 2.5hr games

Date Range - 1618 - 1648

Lists allowed

Later 80 Years War Dutch Later Imperial Spanish Early 17th Century French 30 Years War Dutch Early 30 Years German Catholic Early 30 Years German Protestant Later 30 Years Germans Early Swedish Later Swedish 30 Years War French Hungarian-Transvanian 30 Years War Peninsular Spanish Early Restoration Portuguese Early Gustavan Swedish

All army lists must conform to the following restrictions

6 battle troop foot bases per artillery

The cost will be £10, and any excess after paying for the venue and prizes will be put behind the bar as a tab. You will be able and expected to "buy at least a couple of drinks during the day and order a curry for lunch" as a condition of entry.

We will aim for a (civilized) 10:00ish start time, so curry lunch at 1pm-ish, so we can all aim to be done by around 730-ish pm.

We can definitely fit 10 tables in, and I think we can get up to 12, so at least 20 people can enter.

Pay on the day

Its 15mm and 800AP, but we might make deployment zones a little deeper for battle troops so everyone gets stuck in quickly.

Lists to me by the 10th July please

FoGR - Late Medieval Generals

My repainted generals for my late medieval armies

ADLG - Early Imperial Romans

My Christmas project, 15mm Early Imperial Romans for ADLG.

I've based them up for ADLG, so, they are double sized bases compared to the usual DBx basing standard.

FoGR - Eastern Mounted Bow

Finally sat down and painted up my last mounted bow.  These will be used for generic superior bow for various FoGR armies.  

Gruntz - Tank Assault!

Tamsin and I got Gruntz onto the table again.  The scenario was 300 points to Tamsin's tanks deployed off the table and had to get a randomly chosen vehicle off the other side of the table.

I had 250 points of infantry deployed on the table with no more than 100 points of tanks.

So, my UNSC deployed their newest tank, the Spider Heavy Assault tank.  Let's see how well a tank designed by committee and the lowest tender goes.

The table with a small settlement (buildings from the Ion Age range)

Tamsin's german tanks deployed off table, ready to move on

Hover Missile launcher tank

Hover tank with big gun

Hover AA tank, lots of barrels

The tanks arrive on table, it doesn't start well for the UNSC, a heavy missile launcher team get's killed in one turn.

The UNSC manage to kill one tank, but are getting hammered.  The Germans have built their tanks well

The Spider Assault tank fails to tank down the enemy tanks and gets nailed shortly afterwards

In the end, the UNSC were over run by the Germans very convincingly.  A committee has been formed to review the procurement of the tank to determine why it failed to meet set specifications.
