Armylists to me ASAP

It’s Warfare at Reading this week and unfortunately domestic issues have meant yours truly can’t attend! Isn’t it dreadful when you look forward to an event for so long and then everything transpires to get in the way. However, the Virtus competition looks as though it will be well attended with at least twenty of the country’s top players in attendance and my good self of course. If you are considering attending then buy your ticket this week as the deadline for lists is near at hand. Firestorm games Thebattlefields.com is the place for the tickets.

The deadline for lists is the 25th November and the original post of armies is below. Shame about Warfare but I look forward to an excellent pre- Christmas bash.
