‘Mongol Mania’ April 2025.

[Tim Haslam]

Hi,

Just letting you guys know.
We have a one day wargaming event taking place in Manchester UK in April next year.

28mm armies.
Rule set, Warhammer Ancient Battles Version 2
Period, Rise of the Mongols and their successors.
Format, 3 games, all scenario driven.
Armies from Armies of Antiquity Version 2, @3000pts

It’s a little early to advertise,
however we have had a great deal of interest in this event, with eight fully paid up players already on the list.

So if you have an eastern based medieval army, and are interested in this period, get ‘your towel on the deckchair’ nice and early!

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to PM me or ask on this thread.
I can supply a fully detailed rules pack, with all further details.

Our location and venue are pretty much idyllic for gamers, it’s,
Warm,
Dry,
Clean,
On site cafe,
Free parking,
Almost straight off the motorway network.


Thanks for looking
Tim

Our events do usually follow a kind of tournament set up,
But the emphasis is always on fun.
Yes we have prizes for 1st place etc.
But we also acknowledge painting and sportsmanship.

Since the ‘return’ of WAB, we’ve held a fair few events, and gained a regular group of fair and jolly! Participants,

One of the very best things to come out of these WAB events is the re-emergence of the sense of community that 99.9% of WAB events gave.

A few pics of our last but one event, the Punic Wars Campaign:

Just for clarity, Tim checked the best place to post this topic, and it was agreed that as it was very specifically an Ancients event, it made more sense here, rather than on the Events Board.

I hope you get decent interest in this.

Thanks,

I figured it wouldn’t appeal to 15mm WWII players!

Come on down guys..

That Punic Wars campaign looked ace!  I wish I could have been part.... silly Atlantic Ocean in the way.

Swim? Or maybe a plane? You would be very welcome. We have a chap popping over from from the US for this very event.

Doing a campign like that is on my bucket list. Those pictures look great!

Another full campaign weekend planned for next summer.
Period will be late Republican Rome, Pompey and co!

Sounds excellent, is there a good pub nearby?

A fab pub- really nice and we always hit the local Indian restaurant too. It's quite important to make the whole weekend a social even methinks and Tim does a great job of organising it all.
