Absolutely, we just like very different armies and find it tough to agree what to take. It makes it a lot easier to take 2000pts of our own favourites! It will probably be pikey and numidian, if we can agree!

If you take two armies, do they have to be allies or can they be any army on the list?

Sadly there has only been a single entry with only a month to go.

As both of us are taking our holidays over the next three weeks, we thought it best to cancel now while we were in a position to act.

We were looking forward to trying different systems (Disposable Heroes, Black Powder and the forthcoming Renaissance rules) at a new venue (Maelstrom).

For the time being, we will concentrate on the core rule set such as WAB, Warmaster, Great War etc.

We will take soundings at our October Event to see if we can figure out the lack of interest. Rule set, venue, dates ?

Many thanks for your continued support.

We look forward to seeing you at Warhammer World in October.

Best regards

They are continuing to expand the playing areas and number of gaming tables.
Lets see how many players we get first before we start to worry about space?

Ok I have been let down on the gaming board front, and this will not now be made :-(. Tim has decided that he wants to try 4 competition style games (late war)rather than a campaign weekend, to this end I propose 4 x 750 point games, to be played over the two days. A rulespack will be made available shortly, (with a few house rules). Players are welcome to bring their own figures as long as they are painted 28mm, although we can provide numerous forces, if they are required

Steve M]]> Mon, 24 May 2010 21:17:42 GMT http://www.historical-wargames.com/Forum/topic5-proposed-campaigns.aspx Topic "Proposed campaigns" a message from philipstirpe I am sure that I can manage a few loan armies too. I'll let you know what I can supply as soon as I can.
We are hoping to confirm the campaigns for the October event VERY soon but possibly more important is the possible rescheduling of the October 2010 event to put it back two weeks to 30th - 31st October. It is all explained here and will be confirmed one way or another within 48 hours so I will keep you posted.

I have published a review on our blog.

It's far too long to repeat in this post so please read it here.

Details for our September and October events will be published VERY soon.

The most pressing thing to tell you about is the possible rescheduling of the October 2010 Campaign Weekend. You can read more here.

Tommy took the top spot overall with the Khwarismians and the Teutons won the accolade of being most sneakiest (with the Hochmeister surviving more than one assassination attempt).

Big thanks to Mick and Simon for the loan of their superb figures. Also thanks to Phil and Tim for organising the event and also to all the guys who donated prizes.

Seems I am likely to be playing Russian, due to a kind lend lease arrangement, thanks in advance to the kind soul who has taken pity on me and offered the use of troops.

Would love to work out my own combination of forces to give you experts a run for your money, and await a copy of the lists with interest.

We are extending the deadline by 48 hours until midnight, Sunday 9th May to accommodate last minute entries.


I have listed the runners and riders here.


Note that due to lack of interest a number of campaigns are unable to run. They are ECW, WWI and Spartacus.


There are a couple of loan armies available should you wish to enter a campaign but are hampered by lack of army. E.g. there’s a Sumerian army going spare.


If you think you’re coming but are not on my list below then I haven’t received an entry for you.


If you want to come and haven’t entered, then do so in the next 48 hours.

Best regards
