As weekends go that was fun but tiring. Tim and I took part in the Anderida competition at the same venue in Farnborough as the 1 Day competition in September.
This was Fog doubles event (850 points) and for armies out of the 'Swifter Than Eagles' book only. We took Hittite empire with an impresive 20 heavy and 4 light chariots excluding generals. Despite this we lost all 4 games, although quite how we managed to lose the last one is a bit of a mystery.
Despite this, we had a good weekend, and won the 'Gallant Losers' trophy. We both agreed that doubles comps are more laid back and are planning to go to some more next year.

One Sunday In Farnborough
Spent last Sunday playing FOG in a one-day comp in Farnborough.
The whole day was themed and all of the 650 point figures (25mm figures) were provided by the hosts. The day consisted of three games. I played first as Chinese vs Mongols, then Indians vs Macedonians and finally Sea Peoples vs New kingdom Egyptians.
In the first one, not really having any idea how eitehr army 'works' I was out manuvered fairly easily. The second one was mor of a slog as I hammered my opponents left flank. Close but in the end I lost. The third one felt more familiar considering I'm painting a Sea Peoples army myself, and have played against NKE's a couple times at the club. It was close, but I managed to force a win. This meant I didn't finish bottom !
A good fun day and if they run it again I plan to attend.
