Marston Moor players needed

Field of Glory players are needed for a Marston Moor re-fight in Scarborough in June2012.

As part of the Wartorn show at Scarborough Spa on 30 June and 1 July 2012, Scarborough Wargames Club is putting on a 25mm recreation of Marston Moor 1644.

Around 1400 figures will be used on a 24ft x 6ft table and each regiment will be specifically represented. That’s 22  Royalist foot regiments and 28 Allied foot regiments (totalling 1000+ figures) and approx 18 bodies of Royalist horse and 20 regiments of Allied horse (totalling 300+ figures). There are also the dragoons plus some artillery.  

I am looking for generals to join in the game, ideally on both days, but, either the Saturday or Sunday would be ok. Knowing the rules would help lots but just a general interest to push some figures around and recreate history is fine too.

Info about Wartorn is on www.wartornuk.com  including an accommodation guide.

Bayfog results 2011

Well a great weekend was had by all- so i tell them

 

Results are below and I would like to say thank you to all the sponsors of this year's event. The prizes were really appreciated and made the event that little bit more special; and meant all players went home with something rather than just the top achievers. It's great to be able to reward those in mid or lower table with prizes as they make the tournaments happen but often get forgotten in the rush for glory...

 

see you and maybe others next year on the weekend of 20th October

bayfog draw up on bayfog page

Any complaints do let me know......

bayfog draw focuses world attention

The Bayfog supercomputer was pressed into service to conduct the first round draw. Robert Taylor was plucked first from the centre of the earth. And his opponent was........

pre weekend rankings

Well chaps, all army lists are in. The draw will take place shortly and will be posted on here at some point.

Below is the fifth and final sportsman round before the weekend. A prize is of course up for grabs ! Rules for the sportsman prize over the weekend will be announced on here this week too.

Fifth round based on miscellaneous comments by players over the last few weeks....

jon smith 2+34=36
ofsted inspection hinders his banter..

roger greenwood 10+26=36

besides offering to umpire he recommended Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged. Excellent taste 

marco baroni 4+31=34

offered a lift to ian mackay

 

Nick Hewitt 0+31=31

hindered by lack of internet access

Ian mackay 4+26=30

spontaneously offered to bring cloth for tabletop

john muir 0+28=28

too quiet by half

paul dawson 1+26=27

deserves a point for a series of emailed comments; mainly trying too hard to be sporting now the britcon crown has faded... keep trying tho

George Dick 1+24=25

Some engagement over lists and his new spartan army will hopefully be painted in time

David Morrison 5+16=21

bringing the missus for the weekend!

Neil Howard 2+17=19

Sporting let Nick practice against me last week..

Dave Redhead 0+ 16=16

eerily quiet for this time of year..

Bob amey 10+5=15

Trying to reedem himself with umpire duties, bringing the missus and staying for a week. Maybe there's a sportsman in there trying to get out after all

robert taylor 16+-1=15

Bless him. he is too cuddly to be on minus points. And robert brings a keen sportsman's approach to each competition. His fourth year here so deserves points for loyalty
