It is concluded, Sunday 11 December 2011, the Italian Championship of this year. and the new Champion is Marco Gasbarri
The tournament was held between 10 aggressive finalists from Milan, Bologna, Arezzo and Rome, in short a national Italian final.
The atmosphere of the event was a wonderful mix of healthy competition and conviviality, emphasized by some special moments, such as lunch
and the final toast based a good Italian sparkling wine
I must say that I tried to reflect all my personal romantic vision of the wargaming in the final. I think I had some success there, although I know that I can improve. We say that this year the results were sufficient to motivate a 2012 season. At the table between one crescentina and the others was already talking about dates and topics of tournaments that will be a little more varied. Well, now I refer you to the thirty photos in the post on the blog: link I would suggest watching the blog even those not interested in Anticamente. If you appreciate the beautiful miniatures and beautiful battlefields, trust me, take a look.
I'll be waiting here again for your comments ;-) |

Beautiful looking terrain and armies (and not a bad lunch, either!). Well done! Do you have a link to give us some more information about the rules? Cheers,

Well done. Congratulations to Marco. Thank you for sharing the event. Your photos and comments made me feel like a welcome guest. The terrain particularly interests me. Please add more details about the rules, time/era played and who made all of those lovely terrain hexes. Ciao |

"Brilliant service" are words I'd never associate with Caliver Books! |

Hi at all.
You can find other information here: link the rules are based on hex system (not a Command & Color system).
It is easy and fast, for example each battle in tournament is of one hour, but it's not stupid. A lot depends on the skill of the General in giving orders (secret at the begin of each turn) and activate units in the right sequence.
Although we use a hexagonal base of the battlefield, you never have the security of where we will stop the movement. Now that the 2011 championship is finished, before the restart of 2012, I'll put several articles on the blog to explain how to make a battlefield. It is simple and fun, especially because at the end this system allows you to use well and very complicated battlefields without ever compromising the functionality of the game.
If you have any questions, I'm here ;-) |

I've just taking the time to read this report, thank you for sharing. I take it all armies are 10mm? |
| TridenteBologna | 20 Dec 2011 1:25 p.m. PST |
Yes, all the armies are in 10 mm. Anticamente is optimized for miniatures in 10mm. Yes is possible use different scale, but for the dimension of the base and to use the rules in a small table and obtain a wonderfull mass effect, for Anticamente the 10mm is the best |
