Rome Betting

Myself, Hammy, Phil and Nik have a tradition of betting on whom will finish in the top three of a tournament, with beer exchanging, erm, tummies at the end.

You nominate your top three and you get three points for a perfect place and one point if you get a player in the top three. You also have to nominate the top local player (in this case Italian) in case of a tie break.

Just to get the betting and interest started, here is what we have picked:

Phil Powell

1. Phil Powell
2. Dave Ruddock
3. Rafa Tortosa

Tie Breaker: Sergio Monteleone (because of his films apparently)

Dave Ruddock

1. Dave Ruddock
2. Marlio Guglielmo
3. Phil Powell

Tie Breaker: Marlio

Nik Gaukroger

1. Dave Ruddock
2. Phil Powell
3. Pedro Sanchez

Tie Breaker: Rocchi Andrea

James Hamilton

1. Dave Ruddock - I know this was painful :)
2. Phil Powell
3. Dave Allen

Tie Breaker: Walter Ierman

I won at Washington so this lot all owe me beer :)

Just added it to my site.

5 units of supported Superior legions, only 6 units of DRS auxilia, only 2 units of LH and 1 of Reg A LMI Bw.

Having 5 superior legions (rather than making all the shooters and support troops superior and minimising th elegions) makes it Marginally Less Morally Bankrupt IMO. :wink:

But only marginally.

I, however, did win the most coveted prize of all. Best tanned Brit. So for successfully defeating the Italian sun, and Spanish police men, I won 4 painted 15mm Stug G tanks. Just need to figure out what to base them as, Kn or Cats?

They are obviously Battle Wagons ;-). Not sure if they should need a CMT to move, though.
