On Sunday first game is at 9:00 am.

I aim to get there by 8:20 am to get closer parking.

Bob

In that case I get a lie in.... 07:30

Thank goodness for that, the only one who should see Nigel's draws is Mrs Emsen!

Top weekend, drew one, lost massively, won two.
Thank you to Tim for organising, my four opponents (Brendan, Lynette, Marc and Nigel, four great games) and everyone who dealt with my improving, but holey, knowledge of the rules.
Joint 13, and beat and ahead of Nigel, woot!

Thank you to Tim and the team... Great weekend, four very enjoyable games. Three losses and one win. Good to see a junior joining the flock. I thought she did very well for her first competition, not only on score but also on her grasp of the game.

Any chance of the final positions and scores please?

Yes I was wondering about that as well as I had to go as soon as I'd packed up.

Whilst I would love to see the final results I know that my final position was in the bottom half if not the bottom quarter.
I would like to thank my five opponents - Dave, Don, Brendan, Paul and my dice. All the games were close even if the scores did not show it.

Bob

Bob,

we are always thankful for your dice!

Bob,

I certainly recall the "perfect storm" turn you had in my game, where even my dice turned on you!

I once played David Cutner at FoG - because he had forgotten his dice we were sharing a set - oh how my dice turned against me! - could I role better than a three? Could David, USING THE SAME DICE, role less than a FIVE?

Hi all,

The results are now up on the WAR website. http://www.wargamesassociationreading.c ... ns-24.html

Enjoy!

Thanks, Tim - and for the last-minute opportunity to take part.

Can someone just quickly explain where the scores in the "Opponents" columns come from? They certainly don't match my opponents' scores in my games (nor my scores in theirs).

Yours curiously,
Bemused of South Surrey

It will be your opponents's player number, and since there were 24 of us, it will look like random scores!

(Thanks.)

So, the winner played and beat the players in 3rd, 4th and 5th.

Clearly Mr LeRay-Mayer has come up with the best plan to nick 2nd !

Yup!

for once my submarine tactic worked!

That is indeed correct, and if it is coloured red, that means that player finished 1st-3rd, blue for the next few in the chasing pack.

All very scientific!

That pretty much guaranteed I'd be flummoxed.
