Norcal BATTLELORD Tourney Apr21. See 1st post

[Alastair MacDirk]

This is the duplicate armies tourney. The basic idea being that there will be 4 pre-determined battles. Each player will then play each of the 4 battles for 6 rounds. At the end of the day we will know what the average point differential in points killed in each of these battles. Then we will be able to see who made the most of their army and is therefor the most versatile general. It isn't necessary to win each battle to be the best... just lose by less points than everyone else lost by on those tough matchups. Let me know if you want in... tourney locks at 16 participants.....#17 forward go on waiting list.

Battle #1
Cowboys and Samurai stumble into a spooky graveyard late one cloudy night. In the darkness they happen upon 4 empty graves. Looking more closely they discover the headstones read "Truth and History. 21 Men. The Boy Bandit King. He Died As He Lived- Guilty McCreech R.I.P.", " MURDERD BY A TRAITOR AND A COWARD WHOSE NAME IS NOT WORTHY TO APPEAR HERE-Shotgun Johnny R.I.P.", "Pard, we will meet again in the Happy Hunting Ground to part no more, Goodbye- Deadeye Dan R.I.P.", "To save your world you asked this man to die: Would this man, could he see you now, ask why?- James Murphy- R.I.P."
Shocked at seeing their own names on the headstones, each man shakes off a chill as the hair on the back of his next stands. Somewhere in the distance a feral cat mewls and shrieks..... then the first Zombie appears from behind a ruined crypt.

[Aldin]

Yay! Both of those dates are after tax season!

~Aldin, planning to be there

[Alastair MacDirk]

I was thinking of you when I chose them, believe it or not. Feel special???

[Malechi]

At this point both dates are fine for me. I went and adjusted the poll to reflect this option ...

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

Those dates are fine for me! I'm there.

[Satyr]

Morning Star and I can not make the 28th.

April 21

Yes, yes I do

~Aldin, appreciatively

[Guerillinator]

Either date works fine for me as well. Glad to see the zombies will be getting some love in one of the games :P Zombies seem like figures that everyone likes, but that almost no one would field in a regular bring-your-own tourney.

[1moreheroscaper]

This 21st should be fine with me, I'm really looking forward to this. I need to start studying these armies.

[dnutt99]

Not sure yet for me. Nothing should be impeding my humble presence.
However, have armies been set up yet? Where can I find the pre-mades?

Alastair is still plugging away at the armies. I put together some balanced thematic match-ups, he's got some ideas of his own, and dnutt, you have quite the list yourself
Alastair should be releasing some additional match-ups soon. I will, however, let the dead out of the box and give up some details ...

Undead vs. Cowboy Samurai

• Zombies of Morindan x 5
  Shades of Bleakewoode x 2
  Total: 500 pts
  
  vs
  
  Johnny "Shotgun" Sullivan
  James Murphy
  Guilty McCreech
  Deadeye Dan
  Izumi Samurai
  Kozuke Samurai
  Tagawa Samurai
  Total: 510 pts

We've played around with this match-up and had buckshots full of fun. In our games both sides have won. Map design is critical for this battle to help level the playing field ...
