Well done Tang, congratulations!

Congratulations to the champions!

Congratulations to the Tang team! Even though Pershing's Pikes beat them head-to-head in the initial Group A round, the Tang team improved their game (and had better maps) to beat the Pershing's Pikes team in the finals. Well done!

Perhaps even more importantly, thanks to the organizers for all their work and a well-run tournament!

Harvey, Pershing's Pikes captain

Congratulations to the new champions , i want to thank the organizers of the tournament , it was a real pleasure to be part of it again , hope there will be a new one each year

Congratulations to Tang !

It's great to know that, and I'm very proud of the team and excited for all the great battles in this WTC. I was in charge of the reserve in this tournament and I'm glad I didn't get a chance to play: it shows that my friends did their best and there were no unforeseen circumstances that prevented them from playing.
As angusosborne said, FOG2 or ancient wargames are traditionally not so "Chinese", so I am also very happy that when recruiting WTC teammates, Chinese players actively and enthusiastically participated and finished the tournament, not only Tang, but also Qin and Han players. Thank you all for your enthusiastic participation and support.
I'm sorry I'm still on the train, and I don't really want to write a "sample essay" thanking everyone, so I'll end this quickly and briefly, thanking you to everyone on the forums and to the organisers of the tournament for giving us a stage to show off the art of war. Hopefully the FOG series and other ancient war games will become more popular.
Best，
Wang


Easter egg：As is usually the case with movies promoting Eastern culture, I'm going to stuff a quote from a highbrow ancient Chinese celebrity here:

“阵而后战，兵法之常，运用之妙，存乎一心。”

——— 岳飞，武昌郡开国公，河南北诸路招讨使。



“Formation before engagement, this is what military textbooks always say. How to use it on the battlefield ，that can only depend on your heart.”

———Yue Fei，Duke of Wuchang，Chief Commander of the Expeditionary Forces for Henan and Hebei.

Congratulations and well played Tang.

Also, a big thanks to all the teams and, especially, the organising team!

Great job! Great fun!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all players. I look forward to more games next year!!

Just got a very interesting and promising book for Christmas:

China’s Greatest Poet - In the Footsteps of Du Fu by Michael Wood.

I very much enjoyed the competition and it was a pleasure to captain the Armchair Heroes Team. Thanks to my colleagues Kroche, IMC and ericdoman1 for being so supportive and encouraging.

I do hope there is another one next year and thanks to the organisers, angusosborne, Triarii and ericdoman1.

Last but not least congratulations to team Tang on becoming the new WTC champions.

On the road again for Christmas, but if we’re sharing, I just received a book on Xingyi boxing (since I’ve been getting into boxing as my exercise program this year) from my family. Good stuff and a very interesting read.

Congrats to Tang, and I look forward to a rematch next year.

Are there any replays that one might take a look at?

Congratulations Tang, well done!

Outstanding performance!

Last but not the least, many thanks for the organizers, your job has been brilliant.

Merry Christmas to everybody!

Not for this unfortunately. But SnuggleBunnies has done a YouTube channel for his games in another competition:

Congratulations for Team Tang!
Also thanks for all the players and organizers for WTC.
This game is so wonderful!

After returning from their Christmas holiday Slitherine have handed out vouchers for USD 35 to the winners and USD 25 for second and third placed teams. Thank you!

The players should all have received a PM from me with the details. Please contact me if you have not.

Happy to play if it is a Swiss. If it is the same rules as last time then I am out.

Tyrone - Still waiting for the yes or no about some slight changes to the rules

Greetings Gentlemen

We would require, team names, emblems, captains and players to be posted in https://www.slitherine.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=116186

PLease post them as soon as possible (ASAP) as they will be needed when we know of the date of the LIve Draw.

For WTC 2024, we will have 16 teams

World Team Championship - 3 x UK & Ireland teams, 2 x French, 2 x USA, 3 x Chinese, 2 x Italian, 1 x New Zealand , 1 x Spanish and 2 x ROTW.

We have included something new for WTC 2024 and that is team captains will send their team name, country, captains name, players, armies and periods via private message to the relevant organiser, see below.

Example

Below is which organiser is looking after which countries.
