I've just purchased some 28mm 3d printed Napoleonic horses and limbers with drivers and gun, I haven't painted them up yet but they look giod matches for Perry figures and so much cheaper, having said that the gun carriage is more 25mm but the wheels would be right for 30mm!

(!!) I think there is a lot of subjective stuff out there to support the argument that TTS! might well have the greatest imbalance between 'competition' attendees and 'non competition' players of any of these systems, so you may well be right in your theory - even the fact there's been almost 100 different players in the 3 (full) years of events held suggests a lot of players dabbling in competitions rather than other sets where the numbers point to a clear, dedicated hard core of active players for whom attending competitions is a key part of their enjoyment of the hobby.<br /><br />As one final caveat, there's nothing inherently terrible about "competitions" - as long as you approach them as a chance to play a load of games against some new faces I'm sure you'd enjoy them - especially as Mr Miller and the rest of the 'regular' players are certainly amongst the nicest folks on the ancients circuit too!
