TYW Themed Event - The Insurrection

[rexhurley]

To make things more interesting....

I propose that each time one of the kiwis manages to defeat Richard, he must divulge a titbit of new information about FOG2.

Do we have a deal?

How about a voucher for Byz games products

[rexhurley]

sorry for not been aware of this tournament!

if possible add me in


Thanks!

Sorted, welcome please view your PM I just sent for instructions then the first post here

[TheGrayMouser]

Hello GDOD

I see a challenge out there for attack, 5th round TGM, so I assume its for me, but just need the password, cheers!

[bloodphoenix]

First Side players to issue Challenge...please PM your opponents with your PW and if there will be a delay in starting so they know what is happening.

First Round Open Battle, First Side Anti Imperialists

Egos (The Establishment - Imperialists) and Bloodphoenix (with us in the heresy )could you please play each other this time in Open Battle, then can you respectively do the following (game formats as above):

Bloodphoenix Round 1 v The Gray Mouser, Rd 2 v Ianiow, Rd 3 v Ulysisgrunt, Rd 4 v Snugglebunnies, Rd 5 v rbodleyscott, Rd 6 v Pantherboy

Thanks for including me at the last minute...found out about it by chance in a random match-up. So let me make sure I have this right...
Since I'm Anti-Imperialist, I will be the "First Side" in the First Round, so for both my game with Egos and with The Gray Mouser, I should post the game?

Also, just out of curiosity, is the game with Egos just an "extra" match, since you seem to have already assigned me a first round opponent? I assume both games should be set up as Open Battle?

BTW, while I played FOG for years, and some of you may recall seeing my name, I cannot bring myself to so torture reality as to suggest I was ever particularly skilled at the game. The Pike & Shot era is utterly new to me. I'm still at a point where, you might say, I barely know a Caliver from a Cavilier. so I have joined the Tournament largely in hopes of carefully studying the tactics of my more worthy adversaries!

Hi Blood the way I have added you and Egos is there is a double round all the way through from everyone on both sides to play you two and I will have an extra column in the spreadsheet to show the results of your games, does that make sense? It was the easiest way to include the late entries without having to redo the draw from scratch and make everyone restart their games they had underway. In reality there is now seven rounds with you two being included its just that two of the games are being played in the same round now, i.e in round one you play egos and TGM seperately but it counts as two matches, while TGM's count v you and I think it was warlord he was playing via memory, etc, etc.

Sorry its the first time for running an event like this for me and I now know to add in a few spare slots for late comers in the future so we dont have to rejig the draw, or do something weird and wonderful like the above to accommodate.

Sigh now I better go back and stick my head into my Statistics formula homework.

Third round challenge up for Pantherboy.

Realizing that I am likely to be utterly destroyed in the actual battles of this Event...
I thought I should endeavor to at least make a fair showing in the pre-game Doggerel Competition!

Here is my contribution (its probably about the fourth time in my life I've attempted a limerick, so...)

"In Bohemia there was consternation,
over Ferdinand's administration.
His plan for the Empire's Creed
inspired a 'revolting' deed
And his regents met defenestration!"

[awesum4]

Bloodphoenix,

you would be made the official poet of the insurrection if we were not all so determined to be free and equal (well all nobles anyway) that we have abolished all such bourgeois petty titles and posts, except of course in those areas which have not abolished them, which is their right.

Anyway welcome aboard. We are on the same side and will not play each other in the tournament, but I look forward to playing you at some future date.

Game 4

ianiow (IMP Polish 1633) 3% defeated lascar (REB Ottoman 1630) 48%

Horribly mismatched armies with the Otto cavalry melting like butter on both flanks.

[KiwiWarlord]

Horribly mismatched armies .

For sure, the Pot Luck God is driving me potty with all the mismatched match ups of armies & terrain that I have been blessed with.
I see ianiow has been blessed with Poles twice.....I will be joining lascar soon in a Polish dungeon.

Please don't see it as a dungeon. More like basement hotel rooms with en suite buckets.

[awesum4]

Brian,

you have beaten my Poles using Ottomans several times...whats happened to your oriental cunning? We are relying on you to keep the flames of rebellion alive.

Danish concrete blocks on a bowling green leaves no chance for Oriental cunning plans, especially when you see your out numbered Flankers pushed into the fray by Polish cavalry whilst Hussars with great feathers are standing behind laughing and hooting away in Polish.......... I hope those buckets are clean with felt lining on the brim...

Okay, now I'm COMPLETELY confused! LOL Are there seven rounds, or six? If I read the above message from rexhurley correctly, I'm supposed to play TheGrayMouser and Egos in the first round?

GrayMouser, I swear I remember writing a PM to you...but can find no evidence I ever sent it, which would explain why you didn't recieve it! My only explanation is that it was late, and while my hands were still awake, my brain had obviously turned in for the night.

The password should be Lankhmar. Let me know if that doesn't work?
