All done??????

3rd place = Enakan

Congradulations to the three top players and to everyone who participated!

I would like to do another pretty soon but will put a time limit to play so it doesn't go on forever!

Thanks to all for playing!!

Ok all! I'm wanting to do a tournament on the Early Byzantines and her Enemies. Useing the same formate as before. Use a 1000 pts. but only build to 600 and no more.
I've only found 10 enamies for the Early Byzantines time period, 493-550 AD.The big problem is how many Byzantine players we should have?
If we use 10 Byzantine and 10 enemy players that would make 10 games for each player, Still a lot of matches but I do want people that will try to get thier games played in a 5 week period. That would only be 2 matches a week each to get played. This is a bit of a comittment for your time but I don't want it to streach out so long every one gets tired of the wait.
So please give me some feed back and see if we can get 20 people that would like to play. Tell your friends you play on line and see if they would like to play. I'm hopeing to do this through each of the Byzantine armies they have in FoG in order from first to last.

Byzantines:
1. epos - 4 loss, 1 draw
2. Okie -2 win 6 losses
3. Allendeuce -1 win, 6 losses
4. Edmond_Blackadder -4 wins, 1 loss
5. cunningcarin -1 win, 3 loss
6. notjustdon - 7 losses
7. Jakdaw - 4 wins, 5 losses
8 .mcfcivo -1 win, 7 losses
9. Blackwatch221 -1 win, 5 loss
10. Enakan - 6 losses

The 10 enemies are:

Sassanid Persians - cunningcarin - 2 win, 1 draw, 2 loss
Western Huns - Edmond_Black adder - 5 wins
Vandals in Africa - Allendeuce - 5 wins, 2 loss
Early Alans - epos - 4 wins, 1 loss
later Visigoths - mcfcivo -8 wins, 1 loss
Italian Ostrogoths - notjustdon - 8 wins, 1 loss
Early Avar - Blackwatch221 - 3 loss
Western Turks - Enakan- 4 wins, 1 loss
Gepids - Jakdaw - 7 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss
Early Lombards - Okie 7 wins, 1 loss

Rules:
You go to 1000 pt. build but only use 600pts. or less but not over 600 pts.even. This is the Honor system so please no more points then 600.
For recording scores use this format: Johns Huns win 57/60 95% to allens Byzantines 63/60 100%.
Points will be 2 pts. for win, 1pt. for draw and 0 pts. for loss.Ties in points must be played off for the top 4 scores and at your discresion for any below the top 4.
Lt. Infantry can be no more then 20% of total. So if you have a total of 58 units then divide by 5 gives you 11.6 or 12 rounding up .5 or higher and round down .4 or less.
Lt. Cv. may be as large as half the army because they were such a big part of some armies.
Armies will be chosen for enemies by first come first served and when 10 are picked for the Byzantines.
Remember to use the 1000 pt build for your army and then when you record your army put SP at the end so you'll not get confused and use the wrong build as this will most likly be differant then a normal 600 pt. army.

Again tell all your friends so we can get our 10 needed players!
Good luck and have fun!

Sounds promising!

I have not been on here in a while, so we got moved to the classic game area since FoG2 is out??? One thing I would request from your last tournament, wasn't there a cap of 60 on maximum number of units? Could that be waived for this event?

Paul

Enakan, The limit was on light Inf. Skermishers, so that someone doesn't have to play a gamey big LT. Inf. army that you can never catch up to. but Lt. Cv. are a big part of some eastern armies and can be up to half the total army.

Sounds good Okie, sign me up.
Rather than risk overkill with 20 battles, would it be worth splitting us into 2 groups, each playing 5 Byzantines and 5 Enemies?

I would love to play, Okie, whatever format, as in two leagues of 5 on 5, or 10 on 10. And I would love the African Vandals!
Jim

Lower contenders pick first?

Is that your rationale Jim???



So four of us so far? Did everybody else go to the Dark Side?

Good choice Jim! That would have been my choice too but you beat me to them!
AS TO HOW WE SHOULD PLAY WILL DEPEND ON THE NUMBER OF PLAYERS WE GET.

Darth Okie and my apprentess Jim Obe wana gohome

Hi Okie,

I'll take the Italian Ostrogoths please!

Regards
notjustdon

Okie?

Whatever you need filled in so folks can play, assign me that or those armies. All look good to me!

Gepids if I may, please Okie.

Well, we have a start. We have 3 enemies taken so far but we need 17 more players so EVERYONE tell all your player friends to check this out. PLEASE! Okie or as Jim calls me, Darth Okie
Vandals, Ostrogoths and Gepids are taken so far. No Byzantines taken yet??
I'll take the Lombards, so that makes 4 enemies taken.
Since it looks like everyone wants the enemies, why don't we do both and take the Byzantines too. Then we would only need 10 players.
Each of us would then play 9 differant Byzantine players as the enemies and the play 9 of the enemies with our Byzantine army.
What do you all think of that??

Hello to all friends !
I will take "E. Byzantines" !

Happy to be Byzantines as well. If you need us to choose enemies as well, I'll go for Attila - somebody has to!

I see that Edmond_Blackadder has turned to the "Dark side"
You will now be know as "Darth Blackadder"
We still need 5 more people to play if everyone is good to play both sides. Enakan and I will play your own armies aginst you so everyone will get to play all 10 enemies and Byzantines.
But if we get more people then we would need 20 players.
What do you all think about playing both sides? epose are you good to play both sides?

PS. Check above for what armies are still open.

Hi

I would like to play Sassanids and Byzantines as well.

cheers
Martin

Hi Okie,

I think that's a cracking idea. Play an enemy and the Byzantines. Less players, more chance to complete. GO FOR IT!!

Cheers
notjustdon

Early ALANS for me if it is possible !

Wow! We usually have 10 people very fast but we still need 3 more??
Has everyone told thier friends?
