Thursday Warm Up Open Tournament (Thursday, Nov 4):
We had a small number of participants for the Pre-Con/Night before event. Not surprising because I added it to the schedule late and it was not well advertised. Still, we had 4 players which actually works great. Four players gives you 3 rounds and everybody gets to play all the other players. Everyone won at least one game and everyone lost at least one, So results were tight!

Results were:
• 241 pts: David Kuijt, Ming Chinese. 2x EliteCav, 2x HorseBow, 2x Elite Ft, 2x Heavy Ft, 3xPavise, 2x Artillery (rockets!)
• 238 pts: Mike Guth, Later Greco Bactrian. 2x JavCav, 2x Cataphract, 2x Knight, 1x Elephant, 2x Pike, 2x Lt Spear, 2x Archers
• 121 pts: Al Lyons, Post Mongol Samurai. , 3x HorseBow, 2xJavCav, 2x Archers, 3x Raiders, 4x Rabble
• 107 pts: Spencer Ginder, Classical Indian. 3x Elephant, 2x Chariots, 3x Bad Horse, 8x Bow Levy, 1x Skirmisher

Justinian’s War of Reconquista (Friday Evening, Nov 5): Breaking News! ROME VICTORIOUS!
Mike Guth was the event organizer and he developed 5 scenarios for the campaign. I built 5 fixed terrain boards and Mike provided all the armies. We had a perfect number of 8 Players that we organized into two teams - Romans vs Invaders. This gave everyone a chance to play every one of the 4 scenarios that we chose and to play each player on the opposing team. The scenarios had fixed deployment and each had some special rules to add flavor and historical accuracy. The battles were as follows: Ad Decimum, Tricamerum, Plains of Nero (outside Rome) and Taginae. Byzantine Romans won 9 of the 16 contests and we had one unfinished game. The top2 scoring players received professionally printed, 15mm scale, vinyl play mats that had deployment and terrain sectors marked. Mike provided those and a framed trophy plaque for the top player on each team, Thistle and Rose provided miniature packs as prize support as well.
Results were:
• 479 pts: David Kuijt, Roman
• 360 pts: Jonathan Miller, Roman
• 234 pts: Terrence McPartland, Roman
• 234 pts: Spencer Ginder, Invader
• 227 pts: Jay ?, Invader
• 136 pts: Dan Burgess, Roman
• 128 pts: Alan Z., Invader
• 32 pts: Richard Blythe, Invader
