The Town Hall, King Edward Pl, Burton-on-Trent, DE14 2EB

22nd and 23rd February 2025

You are invited to come and join in our 29th annual competition weekend and play one of the following


DBMM Doubles

500 points. 3000—500BC.

Any army legal during these dates may be chosen.

All armies must have 4 commands. 1 Ally General can be nominated in the submitted list as auto-reliable. He (and his command) is treated in all ways as an Ally General (including AP) but is reliable from the outset of the game. Also if flank marching or a delayed arrival his command will not count as lost and will continue to dice for arrival even from the 8th bound.


FOG Renaissance Doubles

900 points. Any army 1660—1698AD.

Any army legal during these dates may be chosen.

Amended rules and points as per the Slitherine forum.

Army lists may exceed 900 points by the cost of the cheapest base used.

Any heavy artillery used must be the first battlegroup(s) deployed, followed immediately by any medium artillery used.

Dragoons making any move including an evade starting or ending within 6MU of the enemy, may make a full dragoon mounted move if they pass a CMT. If they make a move which is longer than that allowed to dragoons on foot they may shoot but as carbines (range and effect) not muskets as they are shooting from horseback, or have dismounted so quickly that they cannot shoot properly as a unit.

Any Foot Battle Troops wishing to move in or into the flank zones must pass a CMT. If they fail this CMT they may not attempt another in the same phase.

Cavalry that pass a CMT can either, move 2MU and turn 180, or turn 180 and move 2MU, or turn 180 move 2MU and turnback 180.
