Post Industrial Decay & Fruit Based Drinks – Madaxeman.com plays ADLG at The 2016 Worlds
"The Worlds" – not the one in Derby, but the global historical multi-ruleset gaming tournament that traces its' lineage back over a decade and which now was occurring up in its' most glamorous location ever – Charleroi in Belgium.

This year an intrepid team of Central Londoners made the hazardous journey into post-Brexit Europe by trains, planes and automobiles to take on the world in the biggest and most multi-national competition at this year's event – L'Art de la Guerre, featuring almost 50 players drawn from France, Belgium, Spain, Italy, the USA (and us...).
In 6 fully illustrated match reports you can be astounded by the local architecture, amazed by the quality of painting of the opposition's troops, puzzled by the near-complete absence of success for the 15mm Condotta army list that did do well in their previous 25mm outing at Devizes, and enlightened by the usual flurry of ADLG hints, rules explanations and insights.

With over 10,000 words, and opponents ranging from as far afield as Han China to as close as a Condotta civil war, these 6 perfectly formed match reports make compelling and convincing reading for anyone considering ADLG, especially those looking for evidence that a game with around 35 DBx bases per side has enough variety in list composition, tactics and general play style to offer repeated playability. At the end of each report Hannibal is quite rude about my tactics (as usual), a few of the speech bubbles have swearing in them as well (which always goes down well on Frothers), and there is even multimedia accompaniment in the form of a post-event Madaxeman.com Podcast for you to download and listen to whilst painting your next army!

Read on to see how the Condotta did in teeny tiny 15mm scale playing The Worlds Most Popular Competition-grade Ancients Ruleset - ADLG at The Worlds 2016

Stroll on.....There's a lot of reading to do there ! 
(I'll be back.)

Thanks for the link MA.

Cheers - Phil

Some great pics and captions and I will return to read the rest of the match reports.

Thanks for writing these up, made for nice lazy Sunday morning reading.

Important questions:
Was the 3l of beer in a jug or a huge glass?

In the last game, were the opposing figures not from a much earlier era?

Leon, when can we have some Chinese, chariots with giant parasols have to be the way to go to war?

Great fun read as usual no matter what the result

Booked marked - look forward to reading - as always your presentation style is unique.

Very entertaining!

Nice one Tim! 

Charleroi looks like a cracking tourist spot. Roi is indeed so hard to pronounce that the English re-did it as roy. In French you start with a rolled r, bit like the Scottish, but right at the back of the throat, then add wah.

Wah?

Is this for 'Being hit on the head lessons'?

- Beer was always in branded glasses
- Yes, they looked a bit of a morph. I think I got the name of the army right though, although perhaps it could have been Communal Italian?

No wonder we're the laughing stock of Europe.

I really enjoy your battles reports!
