Le Roi Soleil Round Robin Event Recruitment - Open

[rexhurley]

Hi everyone I'm looking at starting a new Round Robin Event with a tentative start date of mid February (depends on numbers - ideally 20+). The setting for the theme this time is the late 17th Century and the Le Roi Soleil period.

Matches will consist of 4 Round Robin mirror games versus others selected in your box (total 5+ players per box), at the end of the round robin phase we will enter a knockout round with the top players of each box playing each, 2nd v each other, 3rd v each other, 4th v each other, at the end of that round winners will play the other winners at their level and the loosers the other loosers, at the end you will have played a total of twelve games and we will post the end rankings for all to see.

All matches will consist of a 2 game mirror format as outlined below. For one game you will play with a Anti Imperial army, then you reverse that and play with an Imperial Force (or vice versa) as outlined below. All games are to be Open Battle unless mutually agreed before the game begins but if you use an alternate scenario format, i.e. flank march you must play both sides of the scenario as well.

For game creation ensure Filter Army List is ON, Force Selection set to DEFAULT

First Games of each Mirror match will be Large Armies, Wide Map, Terrain Type - Pot Luck, Army List - Pot Luck-Both Armies, Scenario type Open Battle unless mutually agreed, either player may issue the challenge.

Second Games of each Mirror match will be Large Armies, Wide Map, Terrain Type - Pot Luck, Army List - The exact opposite of what you just played in your first game so you will need to pick it from the pick list to get the proper armies then players MUST change the force purchase tab from default to "auto" this is to ensure fairness in this game , Scenario type Open Battle unless mutually agreed, either player may issue the challenge.

Post MATCH results with players, armies used and score % lost in the seperate results thread please (winners responsibility). I will get some spreadsheets together on a Google Shared drive so you can post the numbers directly into them.

Games can be played one at at a time, out of sequence or all at once up to you guys but please respect some people have other games on, lives and holidays etc. Please PM your opponents with your PW and if there will be a delay in starting so they know what is happening.

We will aim to take a month to play all of the group stage then another month (or less) to complete the knockout ranking stage.

Cheers Rex

Hi Rex , I'm in.

I think you need to edit your instructions for the second match.

Potluck for the first match means the program will purchase your troops for you.

The second match, since its a mirror wont be potluck and thus game will default for allowing troop purchasing by the players. Players will need to manually change that to Auto select.

Cheers man!

There was a old man in the naki
Whose rhythms were just a bit tacky
But the sun has not been king here for some time
So mounting his nag
He zigged when he should've done a zag
And ended up as some mad Sun King's lacky!

Count me in
