Historical Wargames Tournament

Once again Warpcon will play host for the Munster Open 2009. Organised by the Munster Wargames Group this is a historical wargaming competition using 15mm scale figures.

The competition will pit Ancient armies against each other from the Classical Period - 500 BC to 476 AD. Alexander takes on the divine Julius or hairy barbarians fighting the civilised Chinese empire.

Using the DBMM rules written by Phil Barker, we expect between 12 to 16 competitors from all around the island of Ireland, and maybe some overseas visitors too.

Here are a couple of army specific notes:
•Bretonnians do not have their Army Battle Standard Bearer.
•Tomb Kings must have a Liche Priest as the Hero. He will also act as the General. However, the Liche Priest is allowed to be purchased with up to 165 points.

Modelworld is now an official DCI recognised venue for friday night magic. For further details contact us at modelworld@eircom.net all are welcome. Galway is back on the magic map.

Date: Sunday the 22nd of February

Just seeing what interest we might get for a Feb event (warm up for GW GT even!) Basically looking to get people to sign up who are certain of coming and just add their weight behind the banner, we`re hoping to continue the events every 4months or so, but we really need to have the numbers…

Anyway ,heres the link to the list, PM me here or even better join our site and post your name up yourself (its far better for other people to see you actually nailing your name to the mast!)

If we crack 40 certain/definite names (booking day off from work,family,girlfriends/boyfriends) then we should know where we stand.

Thanks
