Thanks a lot. It seems it will be a very interesting competition, only one army used by more than one player

You would think that one of those EAP players would have had the good grace to run Medes instead.

I think a Sea People's may have been an interesting period 1 choice.

I vote the Medieval Danes as the army I least expected. Jerome is a very smart person so I look forward to hearing how he does it.

Maybe the New Kingdom Egyptian will turn out to be Sea People with an Egyptian escort

Yes, It would be nice

, I like the Medes.

See you there Marc

I was expecting to see more infantry armies, but it seems the most players has choosen mounted armies, except in the period 4.
I think we will see a lot of broken armies this year

I agree. When I saw that pop up in the R&R I thought that he was either very clever, or had completely missed the boat. The armored HW troops, backed by crossbow may do quite well against all the MF longbow.

See you there. I hope Team USA gets to play Spain; maybe it will be just like the Confederations Cup.

I, too, expected more foot in Period 3. Although some of the armies could be unexpectedly foot-oriented. I give away no secrets when I say that my Early Byz have little foot . . . .

The Spanish FOG team is not the spanish football team, we don´t underestimate our opponents and we never speak of ourselves as favourites

Sure, the horses ever have little foots.

They were trained to punch by girl scouts.

So how did it go?

Who won / lost?

dave_r · Post by **dave_r** » Thu Sep 10, 2009 12:48 pm

I did see the scores somewhere, but can't remember exactly where....

I do know

1. GB
2. USA
3. France

GB won by a large margin I think.

Fierce ninja Girl Scouts, to be sure.

And the GB margin in first place was not all that large. GB walloped Team USA in Round 2, but we clawed back points on them in the following rounds.

It was a great event. As usual.

2 points IIRC.

philqw78 · Post by **philqw78** » Thu Sep 10, 2009 2:49 pm

In my opinion 2 points is an enormous margin. Ask Tim.

robertthebruce · Post by **robertthebruce** » Thu Sep 10, 2009 3:38 pm

I´m not sure, but I think that was:

1.GB 30
2.USA 28
3.FR 26
4.SPA 21
5.GRE ?
6.POR ?

It was a great event, I enjoyed a lot, and I must say that I have beaten Marc with a little luck

. But this would not have changed anything in the final Ranking.
