janewilliams20This weekend - I'm home! Wow!
First three days of next week I'm on a course in London, learning ASP. Monday is slimming class, Tuesday is backswording class, Wednesday I'm staying on in London to meet a friend.
Thursday, normal service may resume (or I may just fall over).
Friday afternoon Dave and I head up to Manchester for "HOTT in the Ring" - a little HOTT tournament. Yes, Dave too: and since it's a 15mm event, I need an army for him. So I'm adapting a matched pair from DBA: Romans and Ancient Brits. Adjusting troop types to fit HOTT and make them a contrast to each other left me short of points on the Roman side, and lacking a Stronghold, so I've built up a cardboard Roman Villa we'd picked up on the IOW, and I'm painting an Elephant to be a Behemoth for him. OK, so it was intended for Alexander, and the equipment is 400 years or so out of date, but it was in the lead pile.
Romans:
Rider general
5 * blades (the Legions)
4 * Hordes (the expendable, foreign, non-citizen Auxilia)
1 * Artillery
1 * Lurker (he used to be a psiloi, and is now adding an extra 1 point to round off the 3pt Artillery)
1 * Behemoth (elephant)
Brits:
Hero general (Boudicca in chariot)
Hero (another chariot, probably the one with Battersea Bill)
Warband * 6
Riders * 2
