[rexhurley]

1/4 Final I'll be knocked out due to batesy's stubborness with morale min our first game and my ineptitude in the second.

Thanks for the games Chris

rexhurley (Mameluke E) 38/40 (should have been 29ish) bt batesmotel (Turks) 43/41

The margin in the reverse is massively in favour of Chris.

On to the next version of FOGD where hopefully the dice arent so variable!

[batesmotel]

batesmotel (Mamluks-E) 14/37 beat rexhurley (43/41)

Thanks for the games, Rex.

[MikeMarchant]

Pool B

MikeMarchant's Latin Greeks (41/42) beat Praeter's Medieval Cypriots (42/41)

A very close game that I thought I was losing practically the whole way through. Thanks for the game Praeter.


Best Wishes

Mike

If neither player contacted me, I just declared it a draw. Overall, not the best tournament for completed matches but I think this is more the result of only few players, combined with the holiday break. Thank you to everyone who has been eliminated thus far for participating and be on the look-out for my next themed tournament to begin in early February with an Immortal Fire theme.

Good luck to all quarter-finalists. Please begin your matches.

Paulmcneil Georgians won quarterfinal against Jonathan4290 Trebizond Byzantines

One Game all

Paulmcneil won on points over the 2 games 54/81 (66% losses) to jonathan4290 79/95 (83% losses)

Two very good and close games

[Yuknoom]

Yuknoom's Syrians 24/40 60% beat Londo's Seljuks 38/38 100%.

As the deadline has passed, though we did start a couple of days late, I will add that in the second game Londo's Syrians are beating my Seljuks, and there is no way i am getting to 50% casualties on his side. So if you wish to move him on while we finish up that would be reasonable.

[Jonathan4290]

All the deadlines were pushed back when i extended the pool stage so play on until a result. The deadline is Jan 24.

[stockwellpete]

QF

stockwellpete (Middle Serbians) 24/43 beat PeterGuest (Georgians) 38/38

[PeterGuest]

QF 2nd game

PeterGuest (Middle Serbian) defeats Stockwellpete (Georgian) 24/43 vs 48/42

1 game each, but think I win on overall losses over the 2 games - 73% vs 78% (Jonathan to confirm my maths ...)

Thanks to Pete for 2 very good games

[Londo]

Yuknoom gave me a right walloping in our first game as detailed above. I returned the favour in the reverse game ...

Londo (Syrian States) 14/50 - Yuknoom (Seljuk Turks) 36/34

Syrians > Turks evidently.

[paulmcneil]

so is it paulmcneil vs peter guest in the semi's?

I want to get a challenge out

[Jonathan4290]

Congratulations to quarter-final winners and best of luck in semi-finals. Good to see some newer faces advancing.

So just for clarification in case there's any confusion as to how split series work:

PeterGuest 24/43 vs Stockwellpete 48/42
+
PeterGuest 38/38 vs Stockwellpete 24/43
=
PeterGuest 62/81 vs Stockwellpete 72/85
=
PeterGuest 76.5% losses vs Stockwellpete 84.7% losses


Yuknoom 24/40 vs Londo 38/38
+
Yuknoom 36/34 vs Londo 14/50
=
Yuknoom 60/74 vs Londo 52/88
=
Yuknoom 81.1% vs Londo 59.1%

[PeterGuest]

Semi-final result

In the Grisly Georgian Civil War, PeterGuest's defenders of truth and justice beat paulmcneil's forces of chaos and despair 18/39 vs 47/41 and 9/39 vs 39/35.

The righteous made the most of the advantage of the terrain, leaving the armies of darkness with two literally uphill (and woody) battles.

Thanks for the games Paul

[paulmcneil]

yep, losing terrain choice in both games certainly turned it into Chaos and despair

[Jonathan4290]

Haha wow, didn't even realize you both had the same army.

[batesmotel]

Semi-final

Challenge posted for Londo with my Seljuks, password "londo". I've already picked up Londo's challenge against my Mamluks.
