To The Strongest - The Crusaders 1095-1270

To The Strongest - The Crusaders 1095-1270

 

Welcome to another To The Strongest event at The Games Bunker!

The day will consist of three two-hour games. All tables will have pre-determined terrain. Terrain maps will be sent to all players as part of the event pack after all lists have been received and checked. Players do not need to bring terrain to the event, although we would appreciate the use of any gridded mats you can bring.

Lists must be submitted no later than 13^th October 2024 to store@thegamesbunker.co.uk 

We will be using the ‘Even Stronger version 12a’ dated 1/12/23 and the latest version of the medieval army lists. You may only select an army from the choices listed below, which may not exceed 140 points of 25/28mm miniatures.

In the first round where possible Knightly armies will not be drawn against non-Knightly armies. We will do our best to keep regular opponents apart for the first couple of games but in the last round you may have to face your nemesis!

There will be prizes for the top Knightly and non-Knightly players.

 What You Need to Bring

• Your 25/28mm army, of 140 points value from the permitted army lists.
• Markers to show the ammunition each unit has (e.g. a unit of with bows has 3 arrows) - several D6 will do (you don’t need any dice to play the game).
• Markers to show disorder.
• Markers or miniatures to show Heroes (most armies will have 2-5 heroes available in the army list), individually based heroic looking figures look good but a counter will suffice.
• Tokens or coins to represent how many victory medals your army has (up to 15 usually).
• A scenic piece to represent your camp.
• Two decks of ordinary playing cards (remove the jacks, queens, kings, and jokers into a separate pile, shuffle the remaining 80 cards well).

If you can bring any 6x4 mats marked out with a 150cm square grid, could you please contact us to let us know. Please ensure it has your name on it somewhere or is easily identifiable.

 

Special Rules.

Troops are only permitted to leave the table when evading or are the subject of a stratagem card.

After each pair of moves, players will be required to swap their decks of cards with their opponent.
