Re: 5x400 General Wars! West Chester PA tournament - June 16
I agree with Northgate. If there is one general that does not need the extra forces it's Utgar (Jandar also).
I propose: Utgar Jandar Einar Vydar/Valkrill Ullar/Aquilla I think that Einar is able to stand on his own (though just barely so). Although another option would be to allow Valkrill and Aquilla to be "mercenaries" to Einar, Vydar and Ullar (meaning you could use them for any of the three generals as long as you do not use them in multiple armies) I also like John's idea of making the rounds random. assign each general a number value Utgar 1-4 Jandar 5-8 Einar 9-12 Vydar 13-16 Ullar 17-20 At the start of the event roll a d20. Whatever comes up is played first and so on. You could do all of the dice rolling at the start of the event or do it each round to keep it a surprise (personally I like the surprise element). If you happen to roll something that has already been played, just roll again until you get one that has not. Or you could do something even easier and put each name on a scrap of paper and pull it out of a hat. Absolutely loving this format.

We could leave Valkrill out of it all together. Wouldn't hurt my feelings one bit. I like Northgate's and Spidy's suggestions. Let Utgar stand on his own. I also love the surprise roll idea.

Re: 5x400 General Wars! West Chester PA tournament - June 16
Hey! So, I deffinately need to make it to an event. Its just been to long since Ive played. So, you can put me down as a maybe. (along with my dad and toa....and my gf too. I just asked her and she said yes right away 0_0 )
As for the debates, I like the idea to let aquilla and valkrill be mercs. Itll make making armies easier for me. Some of us dont have 3+ of every squad. lol I love the idea of using different armies each time, but facing the same general may be a little tedious. Iam seeing alot of stinger v stingers. How about you assign a value to each general? 5 generals...Utgar 1-4 Jandar 5-8 Einar 9-12 Vydar 13-16 Ullar 17-20. Then roll the 20d to figure out which one to use. If youve already used that army roll again or round up to the next one. So say it landed on einar the first time. Now for your second match it lands on einar again. Instead of rolling again (and maybe again and again and again) just move to the next one up. Which in this instance would be Vydar. Just some thoughts. Hope all is well with everyone.

Re: 5x400 General Wars! West Chester PA tournament - June 16
Okay, I agree that Valkrill and Utgar should not be paired up. I think Spidysox has it right so the pairings will be:
Utgar Jandar Einar Vydar/Valkrill Ullar/Aquilla Remember that with the 2 mixed general rounds you can include units from both generals in your army. For example, you can have Brave Arrow and Theracus in the same army during the Ullar/Aquilla round. It seems like there is a lot of support for making the order the generals fight random. I am okay with this if most of you guys want to do it that way. If anybody has strong feelings about having a predetermined order, now is the time to speak up. |

@Tom-Duuuuuddddeeee ths looks really cool. So you said June 16 in the other forum so I'm guessing that's the date? Also when you say "Ullar/Aquilla' does that mean we have to have uints from both sides?
@DS2-Haha can't wait to meet your gf. Oh and tom we can be a maybe. (The Epic Bros) |

I will add you guys to the list. Really hope you can make it! I have uncovered the first problem with the format. Can anybody come up with an army that stands a chance against 4th Mass x 5 plus whatever for Jandar? I don't want that round to be really lame where everyone who can field that army does and everyone else loses. I have a few ideas to restrict this army, but I want to hear other peoples opinions on the issue. |

everyone who brings that army should be punched in the face by everyone else two times. although then that would mean that our TD for this event would likely get a beating on a more serious note... It's the biggest flaw in the system. My thought would be to limit squads to no more than 2 or 3 of each for any of the rounds (this would also keep people from doing Stingers x 6,10th x 5, or any of the other uber power squads). Also, I am now confirmed for sure. As long as nothing goofy get's in the way I'll be there. You can put Peteparkerh down as possible. He is not very likely, but will try and make it.

Re: 5x400 General Wars! West Chester PA tournament - June 16
I personally do not plan on bringing any 4th Mass. or 10th for that matter. How about just out right banning 4th and 10th? I'd have no problems with that, and it would force folks to be creative.
Perhaps, as Spidy said, a limit on each particular squad. No more than 3. As for a competitive non-4th Jandar build. Knights and Gilbert, Nilf and knights, Nilf, AE, and (insert filler here). 73 tournaments. 175 - 145 - 1 overall record. 6 tournament wins. |

Re: 5x400 General Wars! West Chester PA tournament - June 16
the problem with banning units is that it turns the 2nd most powerful build into the most powerful one and the problem hasn't been changed much.

With the 4th mass issue, the most obvious answer is we all bring Johnny "Shotgun" Sullivan and AOE blast those 4th!
