Hi

We have just finished a tournament in wellington NZ. There were 8 participants and we played 5 rounds.

Out of the 20 games there was a decisive result in each game with one army breaking within the 2 and half hours allocated.

We played 600 point armies on a 5 by 3 table. On two occasions haevy foot were able to march across the table and sack the camp.

Well done. The Central London club has been running an internal tournament in a similar format. We can't match your 100 percent record, but a good proportion of battles have been fought to a finish and all that I know of have given satisfactory games.

A bit ago I started a topic - Small is Beautiful - arguing for this format, which I think works markedly better than 800 pts on a 6 x 4 table.
