Strategos 2009 - Storm of Arrows - Results (Wellington, NZ)

[Tirithon]

The 5th Annual Strategos tournament was held over the weekend. Strategos is a one day comp designed to allow participation by those with family commitments who normally can't make 2 day comp.

This year was a themed event based on Storm of Arrows. 4x2 hour rounds with Starter armies on 5x3 tables with pre-set terrain.

Strategos is scored using a combination of Battle scores; Sportsmanship, and Army presentation (25, 10, 5). The focus is much more on fun and hobby aspects rather than pure competition (the 2 most prestigious awards are the overall Pericles Award and the Charles the Bold Award - for Lowest Battle Score!)
