Burton upon Trent, that double-barrelled city of beer barrels recently played host to a 24-team ADLG Doubles tournament, which was an opportunity to use a recycled army list and a refurbished Seleucid army (with Maccabean allies) in 4 Classical era battles.



The rather unusual points total of 325 in force at BADCON 2020 saw the Successors take on Romans, Palmyrans, Vandals and Sassanids in 4 reports only briefly interrupted for discursive coverage of various beers, yet more pastry-covered meat products deplyed at lunchtimes, a hearty curry and some cockney rhyming slang.



Read on for these 4 full-flavoured and decidedly hoppy battle reports, and raise a toast to the King of Beers!

Fun write up. I think that some ADLG armies just work better at higher point totals. 200 is fast, easy to transport, and fairly quick to build. But some times a few more points (20 to 40) would be nice.

Fun writing and pictures, and the armies look really impressive!

Thanks for the great posts, Madaxeman. You and Phil (PHGamer) have had me interested in ADLG for some time. Recently purchased the rules and two small armies to battle with an interested brother. Highly unlikely that I'd do more than post about the project on my hobby log, but I want you to know that you do great work that inspires others in the hobby.

Also, 15mm is so inexpensive compared to 28mm. The two small armies cost less than one small-medium 28mm army for Warhammer.

Sooo much cheaper indeed - and you are supporting small, or even "hobby"-sized businesses by buying them as well, which is really important for them in times like these.

OK, GW's stock price is also important, but ... :-)
