Hi,

Just letting you guys know.
We have a one day wargaming event taking place in Manchester UK in April next year.

28mm armies.
Rule set, Warhammer Ancient Battles Version 2
Period, Rise of the Mongols and their successors.
Format, 3 games, all scenario driven.
Armies from Armies of Antiquity Version 2, @3000pts

It’s a little early to advertise,
however we have had a great deal of interest in this event, with eight fully paid up players already on the list.

So if you have an eastern based medieval army, and are interested in this period, get ‘your towel on the deckchair’ nice and early!

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to email me where I can supply a fully detailed rules pack, with all further details- at:
timhaslam1 AT ntlworld DOT com

Our location and venue are pretty much idyllic for gamers, it’s,
Warm,
Dry,
Clean,
On site cafe,
Free parking,
Almost straight off the motorway network.

Thanks for looking
Tim

Pictures from last year to give you guys some idea of the set up:

Scary looking chaps - the figures, i mean, not the gamers.
I'm sure the event will be a resounding success.

This looks great. If I knew the rules and had some experience I'd be tempted.

It's usually a very friendly day/weekend. We currently meet three times a year and I do believe our mastermind Tim Haslam is thinking of adding a fourth. Each has a different "theme", some are straight forward friendly tournaments, some are relaxed campaign weekends.
