| The Byzantine center charges the foe... |
On 2 May 2026 I tried to run an Art de la Guerre tournament at the Richmond Open. I ran a successful tournament there in 2024 - Strategos: L'Art de la Guerre at the Richmond Open 2024 - which you can read about at the link.
This year, I waited too long to decide and it was announced only a few weeks before hand, and so I only had one player, my fellow club member Eric, who should up. Nonetheless, we enjoyed an excellent game of ADLG set in the Dark Ages. I played the Justinian Byzantine list, my favorite list since much of my Master's thesis covered it. Eric played the Carolingian Franks. These two arimies are roughly two hundred years apart, so it is not a historical match up but they are still fairly well matched. Both are primarily cavalry forces with heavy infantry in support.
A fun, well played game. I am going to try again next year!
