Hi Dissy & RF Must be a glutton for punishment, but my rationale in going T2 in games against experienced Vanilla players is that most games are T5 and a fair few are T4, but not too many lower techs. Although I'm not inexperienced overall, I am in competitive terms and haven't really got all of...

Hi JBL With regards to settings in the current quarter-final stages can I confirm rules on settings please? Quote from rules:- GROUP/KNOCKOUT STAGE 2 - Player 1 Chooses the settings, Player 2 chooses the races, Player 1 then gets first pick of race. After the group stage 1 there should be a more equ...

Hi CptPugwash

I'm now registered, at least I think, and I activated my account so you should be able to report our game if I've got it right.

Hi all Will try to do a report tomorrow, but just to say RSE_Dissy won our game tonight. T2, Large Irr, No Minors, Normal Diff and I was Klings and Dissy was Roms. At turn 190 I decided to call it a day, even though I had finished off the Fergs by turn 103 and finally just beat the Cards. My empire ...

JBL

ThrawnCrusher's just sent me a PM with apologies and suggesting we get a new reserve to take his place.

SirFluidHat

I reckon this gives you your chance.

Hi RSE_Dissy

Sunday's good for me too, so see you in warzone

You still persist in putting times in GMT and we're on BST in summer, so I'll assume you mean 7.00 p.m. BST.

Welcome back JBL Haven't heard from ThrawnCrusher since he PM'ed me saying he prefers to play UDM and I think that was over a week ago, so you might soon want to consider SirFluidHat for my group. I'm supposed to be playing RSE_Dissy on Monday, but I have told him it's T2, Large Irregular, No Minors...

Hi SirFluidHat You may still have good chance of getting into this tournament as I've seen nothing of ThrawnCrusher since he told me he preferred to play UDM and not Vanilla, so I'm not sure if he's committed to playing. Haven't heard from JBL either, so maybe he's on holiday, but when JBL resurface...

Hi RSE_Dissy

Seeing as you're about, wondered if you'd answer my last post. Are you looking to play 7.00 p.m. BST Monday evening or maybe sooner?

Regards

Pigman

Hi RSE_Dissy

Looks good and looking forward to it.

Who gets ROM/FED & who gets FERG/CARD?

Is it in order pairings are listed in your post or do we draw straws, plus when it gets to final, who gets which?

Pigman

Hi RSE_Dissy You said pigman: MONDAY 7pm GMT! is teh time best for me! That's fine by me as things stand at the moment, if I'm not entertaining my wife (very unlikely), but I believe that Colchester is part of England and therefore, unless you're somewhere else, you're on BST, not GMT. Of course Bri...

Anyone seen or heard from ThrawnCrusher?

I find myself suddenly available for our tourney game.

Pigman

Hi Dissy So a choice between playing me and ............ tonight i've got lady visiting! OK....I don't blame you!! LOL Went for no minors to take that element of luck out of it, also at T2 intel not so strong as no Cardie or Rom special structures until later in game. As for 4 sittings, well at leas...

So the GROUP of DEATH has been completed, with the sneaky Roms victorious.

Congratz to Torrad on a comprehensive 9 point winning position in group. All will fear you now, I feel certain.
