Wargames Club, Militia Brabantia, invides you for our second Open Warhammer Ancient Battles tournament. We are especially inviting the wargames clubs in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany and the United Kingdom. But players not united into a club are of course also very welcome! We expect quite a lot players from abroad, so all rules and scenarios will be available in English.
The Tournament will be held in the village of Uden in Noord-Brabant in the Netherlands. Uden lays between Eindhoven and Den Bosch along the new A50 highway. It will be held on Saturday the 6th or March and Sunday the 7th of March.
On Saturday we will go to a restaurant. You are invited to join us. (Costs for the restaurant are not included in the entry fee.)
During these days we will be running two campaigns at the same time. The first will be from 490 BC up to 476 AD; the classical world from the Persian wars up until the fall of the West Roman Empire. The second one will be situated in the Dark Ages until the battle of Hastings; 476 AD until 1066 AD. It will not be possible to enter both campaigns. We will play three battles on Saturday and two on Sunday, the last one being a double. We will have some ten interesting scenarios set up for you. So do not expect only simple pitched battles! The scenarios we will play will be made available a few weeks before the tournament.
The armies will be 1500 points. There are a few armies that Militia Brabantia can lend to the players. But they are limited, so please inform us as soon as possible if you want to use these. The Dark Ages tournament will use these books:
The Ancient world Tournament uses these books:
We play with 25/28mm painted figures.
We hope to welcome a few companies too. Ancient Warfare and Comitatus Figurines have confirmed they will be present.
Included into the entry fee will be a lunch on both days, and some drinks. We will present you with some typical Dutch snacks during the day. There is a bar and a snack-bar in the building to prevent you from dying of thirst or hunger if the food we provide is not enough. On Saturday we will go to a restaurant. You are invited to join us. (Costs for the restaurant are not included in the entry fee.)
We have made you a list of hotels and B&B’s in or in the vicinity of Uden. Some are quite expensive so check the prices! The hotels in Eindhoven are the cheapest ones but you’ll need to drive about 20 kilometres to Uden. Below is a list of hotels and B&B’s in Uden.

Playing Warhammer Ancient Battles is a lot of fun. We want to reward the people that excel in one or more of the following important aspects of the hobby: 1) Most sympathetic player 2) Best painted army 3) Best player The prizes are paid from the entry fee and from the donations of our sponsors (notably Gripping Beast and Grand Manner). But having a good time is always more important than winning. That will be an important part of this weekend. On Sunday, after the last battle, we will claim a few minutes to honour the winners and hand of their prizes.
The entry is 25 euro.
Entry will close on the 15th of February 2010. There is only place for about 50 players. So react as soon as possible!
We are surely looking forward to this tournament. And we will try to do everything to give you a nice weekend. We will keep the following in mind:
Are you up to the challenge… ?
On behalf of Militia Brabantia,
