  Here are the lists used at the Ice and Fire MeG competition that took place over the 22nd and 23rd January at Battlefield Hobbies in Daventry. 32 players attended to fight it out with (roughly) non-European armies.

  Last year I wrote a couple of blog articles about my Song army and how I was replacing the figures with ones I felt were more historical. This is a piece about how it turned out.

  In what is probably the last MeG Podcast of the year the team look back at the recent Ribble Rumble competition held in Stockport, the maybe partly controversial list changes for 2022, and a look forward to the MeG scene in 2022.
