17th May 2008 saw the annual
reoccurrence of the Portbury Knights Ancients Fest. On the day
13 Warmaster Ancients players attended and 4 Warhammer ancients
players. These numbers included 5 hardy souls (Non Knights)
who made a special journey on the day just to play. - Thank you!
Doors opened at 9am
and with coffee in hand the games began. Chris Roberts kindly
dropped out to keep the numbers even and then took on the roll of
score master and timekeeper. 8 tables were set out with
terrain as varied as Egyptian desert, Italian Alps and at least 3
tables with rivers!

There were some
great match ups! Normans Vs Romans, Egyptians Vs Indians,
Greeks and Spartans, Sarmatians Vs more Romans. For a full
list see below. The atmosphere remains great all day long.
The bar was briskly raided during the lunch break and battles
recommenced. Throughout the day there was a greatly
atmosphere, no arguments and only a couple of minor rules queries.
The players were a credit to the game systems and hobby!
Winner on the day
and according to all who played him a great opponent was Jim Brown with his Arab
conquest army. (Pictures below). Best painted army went to
Martin Gossage' Macedonian 10mm. Well done to both.
Once again thanks
to all who attended and made this such a successful event.
