Classical Ancients in Central London 2015

Results

This was the first (of hopefully many) 1-day Central London L'Art de la Guerre competitions, covering the Classical period in 15mm. With a turnout of 26 players, split fairly evenly between Central London and the Rest of the World (ie mostly SELWG) a good time, and a good curry, was had by all. Many people had played less than half a dozen, or in some cases even less games of ADLG, but the rules flowed quickly, and there were very few umpire calls, all of which could be resolved by a quick (but polite) dose of "RTFM" !

The lists from the players at Central London can be seen here in the L'Art de la Guerre Wiki.

The range of armies in the competition was unsurprisingly weighted towards the Classical standards, of Alexandrian, Seleucid, Successor and a handful of Romans. All games were played at 200 points, with a 2 & 1/4 hour duration. Round one featured 13 games and 6 decisive results, after which a fairly solid Swiss pairing (a few SELWG/SELWG and London/London pairings were manually adjusted out in mid table) saw 9 decisive results in the time allowed. Round 3, again pretty close to pure Swiss, saw 7 decisive results out of 13.

The event was covered on the ADLG Facebook Group with pictures and updates. The results have also been fed into the newly constituted BHGS UK ADLG rankings

You can buy ADLG in the UK from North Star Miniatures, and is only £27 for the full rules, and all army lists included in just one book. It can also be bought from several other retailers at shows

There is a UK Yahoo Group, as well as a US Yahoo Group, plus of course the main ADLG forum where you can find out more about the rules and about events.

ADLG events are being held next year at Usk, at Burton, and at all of ther BHGS events throughout the year. Check the forums for additional events

Read the Madaxeman blog post that argues that ADLG is potentially A Very Good Thing right now for UK ancients gaming
