What to take?

 I have just found the notes I took for the last BarnHOTT I went to in what looks to be early 2017 perhaps?  I took my Mythic Japanese Army and if I interpret the chicken scratching's correctly, I won two and lost two, so fairly middling.  I have not played Hordes since but I am on the list for this year's event in nine days time.  Ummmm, what army to take????
 St George's Day Off to Alton, Hampshire for the "My Own Worst Enemy" DBA competition carrying my selected army of Book IV 83a, Wars of the Roses.  The theme, in honour of the day, was any Army that fought in England.   The army list was: Army number   IV/83a Wars of the Roses, 1455-1485AD  Terrain Arable  Aggression 1   Type Number    Gen,      4Bd 1 John Tiptoft, 1st Earl of Worcester  3CV      1    4Bd      4 4Lb      4    Art      1    3Ax (Irish)      1   Terrain list   Mandatory   Ploughed 2     Optional   River 1 Steep hill 2  The wise amongst you will note there was far too much difficult terrain! The format was 6 rounds, match-ups randomly drawn in advance, players assigned a number randomly on the day, each odd numbered round you used your own army, each even numbered round you used your opponents. My record: Sub-Roman Briton - 9v5 winning draw Sco
