Battle Reports and Tourism from Nancy, 2026

In a veritable cornucopia of French-themed, hastily-published content I've somehow managed to throw stuff at the wall and discover that some of it has stuck following the Team CLWC trip to the Nancy ADLG event held only last weekend - and it is already posted on this website! 

That currently includes:

• A 4-hander military tourism video of our road trip to and from Nancy, featuring:

• Reims Cathedral, 
• Fort de La Pompelle, 
• The Worlds Largest Pikelhaube Collection, 
• Hackenburg Maginot Line Fortress (and narrow gauge train), 
• Nancy, 
• Verdun, 
• An abandoned and destroyed village, 
• Vimy Ridge, 
• ..and one of Frances top abandoned underground rocket-firing Nazi Megastructures, La Coupole!

There are also 5 Video Battle reports featuring the Feudal English army in totally impetuous action against: 

• The Estonians 
• The Feudal French
• The Kingdom of Sicily
• The Feudal Scots
• The Feudal English (a Civil War!)

There is a vague possibility that there may even be additional traditional-format text-based batreps in multiple languages to come, but that may depend on how effective various free AI platforms are at transcription (or how effective I am at generating instructions for them..). 

Having said that, Le Emperor, my erstwhile Franco-Scottish opponent from game 4, has already published his own report of the game as well.

Enjoy! 

Kegworth Codgers - the Battle Reports

 This year's Kegworth Codgers event was themed for the years in which Kegworth Church was (broadly speaking) built, namely 1200-1299, with a mix of Christian and non-Christian armies who would have clashed in Europe and the Middle East being permitted.

With mostly "Christian" armies entered, I opted to balance the books a little with a Berber army, also fitting in 2 Almughavars which were newly painted.

This meant I ended up with a list who's key attributes were a solid core of spearmen, with a more punchy Almughavars + Javelinmen block to take on terrain and elephants (of which it turned out there were none), a wing command with Medium Cavalry Javelin Elite and some supporting foot, and a third command of 3 Impetuous Medium Knights in reserve to find a suitable gap to aim for and punch through - in theory! 

So, with a trip up the M1 achieved, and a decent few pints on the Monday evening before this midweek extravaganza began, The 2025 Kegworth Codgers Competition was soon playing host to the Berbers.

The reports from all 5 games are now available in video format, either on YouTube or on this website.
