To the Strongest! Ancients ruleset YouTube overview

 Simon Miller's To the Strongest Ancients ruleset is easy to master and quick to play, but takes experience to master. Here are some YouTube video tutorials that give an idea of the system:

SoA annual Battle Day at Sycamore, Bletchley, on April 1

Just a reminder that the Society of Ancients Battle Day will take place on Saturday 1 April at the Sycamore Hall, Drayton Road, Bletchley, near Milton Keynes, MK2 3RR.

As usual, we will have many groups present re-fighting the same battle but using their favoured set of rules and their interpretation.

This year the battle is Arsuf, where Richard the Lionheart takes on Saladin. You would be very welcome to come along and join one of the games - the organisers of the games are always dependent on players turning up on the day and joining their games, so please do come along and make a day of it.

The action starts around 9am, and we start with a presentation on the battle and the controversial aspects of it. Then we go to play the games. The day finishes around 4:30pm though some games play on longer to a finish.

The cost of the day, contributing to hall and tables hire, is £10. Juniors and students are free.

Note there is no food available on site, though there are a couple of corner shops selling sandwiches just around the corner! We do, however, supply unlimited tea, coffee and biscuits.

It would be good to see you there - please come and support the Society. It's a great day out.
