Knockout Tournament

[CheerfullyInsane]

I'd love to join in, but due to circumstances, I won't get SoA until Friday 3rd at the earliest.
If nothing else, I'm in as an alternate should someone drop out.

Hi Matt

Previous message wasn't derogatory by the way. You know if an organiser of something wins then questions are asked, especially raffles? I have asked quite a few people, just one more when he makes his move.

If you want to do it though, really would like a go, then you are the 16th player.

Cheers

Eric

Hi guys,

I was contacted by Eric. If it's ok by you, then I'd like to be in.

[Panospap]

Sorry, forgot to mention army.

Burgundian Ordo it is.

SOAII - 600pts Round 1

Quick recap of the rules below for those that haven't played in the previous tourneys.

Armies to be used are 600pt Storm of Arrows only, the first player in each tie is to submit the challenge and then PM their opponent with the password for the game. Fog of War and double move are to be enabled for all games.

Players must stick to their original army choice throughout the whole tournament, any changes to the troop selection desired are allowed from round to round, so you will be able to tailor your force somewhat depending on what enemy you are going to be facing.

The first round will have eight ties in one group, the winner of tie 1 will play the winner of tie 2 and the winner of tie 3 will play the winner of tie 4 etc etc down the list. In the eventuality of a draw the army that suffers the lowest amount of casualties will go through to the next round. Please post results to this page.

If both players agree that they are not happy with the map the battle is to be fought on, they can restart the game in the hope of getting a more agreeable map.

In the case that neither player in a battle is prepared to be the aggressor and a stalemate ensues that cannot be resolved by starting again and completing within the given time frame, then I will have to flip a coin to decide who goes through to the next round.

I suggest a 14 day turnaround, so current deadline for first round matches will be 13/09

Good luck to all, first round draw is below.

1 ) ericdoman1 - Medieval Irish (Early) vs Mike48 - Low Countries (Maximilian)

2 ) dazzam - HYW English (Continental) Allies vs davouthojo - WOTR (Lancastrian)

Here's the round 2 draw, current deadline for games to be played is 09/09, good luck.

4) ericdoman1 - Later Seleucid (post 166BC) vs batesmotel - Later Achaemenid Persian

I'm back! Having ridden a couple of camels over a mile or so, including a trot for about 100 yards then it has probably removed any possibility of more children! (and yes, I did simulate the firing of arrows to see how easy it would have been.... the other tourists probably thought I was mad.... Englishmen and midday sun and all that ) Accordingly I intend to put anything remotely Egyptian or featuring camels to the sword (or pike)

Ian: My challenge is posted. Password IanIOW

I was proposing having the ROR final between pantherboy and batesmotel to reach an end to the original tourney, potentially another patch will be released soon with the Bosporans fixed but this isn't definite. Is this solution going to be a problem?

cheers
Matt

The only problem will be getting the Bosporan patch(es). If it comes out while I'm away then feel free to have the final. If it hasn't been issued before I return then I guess I get to play the final against Pantherboy.

I see no patch has been issued in my absence, so did BatesMotel play Pantherboy or am I still to play BatesMotel (once a patch for his Bosporans is released)?

OK, we'll just wait for the patch then. Any idea when it will be?

Sounds like it isn't going to happen any time soon so I guess we should go ahead and play with 1.3.3. I'll PM you when I have the challenge up (or you can PM me if you want to set it up.)
