Close Encounters of the Third Age- 300pt tournament - London

Playing random players instead of best matched is the exact reason why I didn't go to ToS. To make it fast after every game put people in groups based on the number of wins and then make each roll a dice. Highest roll gets to play 2nd highest, etc. If the number is uneven put the lowest roll as the highest in the lower group. That way you start the games quickly.

@Rumtap I changed the name, no offence was ever meant.

I think WhiteWizard and Damian'll be in charge of the ranking and player matching(i.e the hard work). That said Blackmists suggestion sounds like the quickest, and easiest way to have some sort of ranking going on.

Probably something you should tell us is how to pay and who to give the money to

unless it is free

haha.

I love your 'oaths' options. I've done something similar with individual bonus objectives for tournaments. However, I do like the creativity of these oaths. I may 'borrow' the concept for my next tournament.

(slighty offtopic) but marsbar did you go to warden park in cuckfield?

Why yes i did! Is this Sam perchance?

Thanks for the change Marsbar! Much appreciated.

Hi Marsbar

There is some discussion here and on TLA over the schedule for the day. Can you include in the OP so we're all clear.

I will work on the event pack over the weekend...

Nice change to the Oath Marsbar, removes ambiguity and clarifies the whole thing nicely.

Just sent my money so I'm all paid up, looking forward to an evening of practice games tomorrow now!

Any news on the finalised schedule?

These are the timings:

Registration: 9.30
Game 1: 10.00 - 11.15
Game 2: 11.30 - 12.45
Game 3: 13:00 - 14.15

I've picked my army (mainly because it's all painted) and I'm looking forward to see how it does.

Hmm, all painted eh? I take it that means no more squishy ROR to gun down? :-)

Wonder if your freshly painted Treebeard made the cut...

Damian · **Joined:** Mon Apr 02, 2012 10:59 pm **Posts:** 246

I could be fielding a fully painted Rohan army, it would just be 50% infantry, so you'd still have a few RoR to mercilessy shoot.

I could field Treebeard and Eowyn with a warband of 11 WoR...... and believe me I am tempted, just because I've got the big guy finished. I probably won't though.

I could be really silly:

Treebeard
Merry
Pippin
Legolas

or

Treebeard
Legolas, Elven Cloak, Armour

Mwaaa ha ha ha haaaaaa

Right now my list is the thematic combo of Faramir, his lovely wife, and some soldiers from their respective homelands - bang tidy.
