Battlecry 2014

This coming weekend the 2014 Battlecry tournament is on in Auckland. I’ve entered into the Field of Glory Ancients competition again with my Viking horde.  It looks like it’s a small group, with only 10 of us, most of who I already know which means it should be alot of fun, as the guys are all pretty laid back and no idiot ego’s or Muppets to deal with. So I’m really looking forward to it.

The 600 point army restriction this year makes it quite a bit different and alot faster compared to previous years with 800 points, which means we are looking at 6 games over three days. Looking at the army lists so far it’s a pointy stick competition with alot of Spear and some Chariot armies, which will be really interesting to see how the guys use them. As I originally was going to take my Egyptian Chariot army, but decided after a few games that I’d get butchered to easily on the smaller playing area.

Here's a list of the players and the Armies that I have got so far.

Stephen Ladanyi	Mitanni	1595BC
Richard Woolford	Later Mycenaean	1200BC
Arthur Young	Lydian Greek	600BC

Chris	Later Carthaginian	215BC
William Mays	Late Republican Roman	81BC
