Art De La Guerre

[madaxeman]

There will again be a 2-day ADLG event at the Beachhead show in Bournemouth in 2026, with events running in both 15mm and 25/28mm scales.

200 points, standard rules etc, 5 games (3 Saturday, 2 Sunday).

In keeping with the trend for orthoganal-style themes established last year with the "Camels, Elephants & Beasties" theme, this year 2026 the Beachhead theme for both scales is as follows:

"It might be Squishy":

Any army drawn from the following list, any dateline, any version.. with the sole restriction being that each army list must include a minimum of 3 units of medium swordsmen and/or medium spearmen mixed units, with rear ranks of either bows or crossbows.

The list of permitted armies is as follows:

List Number Army
4 Elamite
7 Assyrian
8 Neo-Babylonian
9 Assyrian Empire
21 Hurri-Mitanni
27 Urartu
46 Graeco-Indian
64 Achaemenid Persian
79 Classical Indian
107 Kushan
116 Han Chinese
121 Three Kingdoms Korean
122 Kofun-Nara Japanese
134 Abbasid Arab

209 Sahelian
222 Khitan Liao
225 Song Chinese
226 Xi Xhia
227 Jurchen Jin
281 Ming Chinese
290 Tlaxcallan


Any allies must also come from this list.  So, put down that tray of Burmese elephants right now Mr Fry !

I was actually think about using the famous 'Vic & Bob' - Shooting Stars army (#27) - but sadly, due to a longstanding family commitment, I will be unable to attend this year

"Uvavu!" or should that be "Urartu!"
