Chaos Tourney V

[Karvon]

Div 1

Karvon Romans 313 AD defeated Random27 Romans 280 BC 67-54 for a 3-1 win.

A very tight game down till the final turn, just before sundown. Our superior horse eventually overwhelmed the flanks though our center got destroyed by the superior numbers of better armored legionaries. Our cavalry returned to finish off enough battered and engaged enemy troops for the final win.

Thanks for the game

And here are the final results of Chaos Tourney V. I apologize for the delays in winding things up this time around. A combo of a few MIAs which I attempted to track down, the new school year starting complicated by some related Covid revisions to classes all contributed.

Five matches in regular divisions and six in mirrored divisions were not completed and ruled draws or losses, depending on the circumstances reported by those involved.

As for mirrored divisions, next season, I will go with 6 player minimum divisions so there at at least 10 games as there were far too many ties with just 8 games this time around. This will also make medals a bit more meaningful.

I will post cumulative standings in the next week or so, when I have time to tabulate them between classes at the office.

We will be adding HMA armies to the mix next season; my playing around with them and the feedback received from others is they are not that overpowering compared to the ancient lists. This will require all participants to have both versions of the game in order for the timewarp battles to be played.

Thanks to everyone who participated and hope you enjoyed the experience. Feedback, as usual, is always welcome.

Below are the regular divisions standings; I'll post the mirror divisions in the next post.

Thanks Karvon for the work you put in to the tournament. Another good experience. Looking forward to the next one.

[kronenblatt]

Many thanks, Karvon, for setting up and arranging the tournament! I participated in the mirrored game section and thoroughly enjoyed it, giving me both the chaos (in terms of random armies and in particular random army pairs) and the order (in terms of the mirror setup and two games with the same player, giving time to evaluate strategy from both sides' perspectives; learning from that other player).

[TomoeGozen]

Thanks , Karvon , for another very enjoyable chaos tourney.

Here are the army assignments for Regular Division 1.

Here are the matches for the mirror divisions.

Some feedback as requested:

I'd prefer these game schedules in regular text format rather than in picture format, because it's then easier to search (and find!) relevant information and also extract it when setting up challenges and PM'ing opponents. As an alternative (in case you want to stick to these pictures) is to make available game schedules in spreadsheet format for download or in Google Drive.

Mirror divisions final standings.

Same goes for the league tables: more accessible and available format, please. Also, this is a lot of information to digest, all pressed into one table, so consider whether it's all necessary to publish or separate the information with one overview table and one part with all details.

[Karvon]

Here are the current Chaos Tourney Rankings.

I've rethought the sorting order as I want to place emphasis on continued participation vs a one time performance. Hence, from here on the sort will be done based on the order of: Campaign Points, Medals, Win%, Ave Score, ELO.

Regards,

Karvon

I'm not sure how to post in such formats. I've tried a number of ways of copy and pasting, but it loses it's formatting. If someone could give me some instructions on how to do this, I'd be happy to do so.

Alternatively, I could put the spreadsheets on Google Drive and folks interested could download them from there.

Which formatting are you thinking of? Tabs don't work unfortunately; they're interpreted as blanks. So the straight columns are difficult to obtain in text format. They're desirable of course, but in my view not necessary.

[SnuggleBunnies]

Enjoyable as always, and looking forward to playing with some timewarp madness added in ;)

Well, when I cut and paste it as text, the formatting is all lost and it's a too time consuming to manually edit into a readable form. I experimented with trying to cut and paste it as raw HTML code, but it far exceeds the character limit, so that's not a feasible option. I tried adding it as an attachment, but that only works with image files.

Barring another solution, I'll simply post them Google Drive for those who are interested next time.

Is the original data in Excel? What I've been doing for e.g. EGL is to use columns further to the right in the spreadsheet to automatically obtain the desired format and copy-and-paste those columns instead. For example (ironically as an attachment... ):

Please consider a division for those of us who have/want FOG Medieval.

We will be adding Medieval armies to the mix as DLCs are released. I've already added the initial army mix to the randomizer worksheet I'm using. Thus, there will not be a separate division, but the range of armies you might fight will be expanded.
