DevlinMudd Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Hey all, grab yer 'at, strap on your blunderbuss and swig yer hooch: it's league season again! Format: The league will be four weeks long, each with a set strategy, deployment and scheme pool. Players can play as many games as they want, and each player's best single result each week will count. The best three results from the four weeks will count towards the final leaderboard. At the end of the league the top four will play off against each in a two-round knockout tournament. The weeks are: February 15th - 21st: Interference, StandardFebruary 22nd - 28th: Squatter's Rights, CornerFebruary 29th - March 6th: Headhunter, StandardMarch 7th - 13th: Turf War, Flank Schemes will be revealed at the start of each week. Locations: Games can be played anywhere you like, however there are two venues that you're quite likely to find other players: The Dragon's Lair gaming club, meeting in Khandallah Cub Scout hall at 11 Station Road every Wednesday from 5.30pm. The Hobby Stop in Kilbirnie, meeting on Thursday nights. Prizes: Everyone that enters at least three results over the four weeks will get an entry into a raffle for some loot! We have a small stash of limited edition models that will be on offer for a few lucky winners. If you would like to participate, or know more about the local gaming clubs, please PM or send me an email at robert.h.curry@gmail.com. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, you're totally right! I picked those out of the Gaining Grounds following the current season's strategy and deployment schedule. Promise next time it'll be Collect the Bounty, Headhunter, and Reckoning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevlinMudd Posted March 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Heading in to the last week, this is what the leaderboard looks like: Matthew: 9, +11, 21 Robert: 6, +10, 17 Chris: 6, +4, 13 Pete: 3, +4, 14 Simon: 3, +3, 16 Liam: 3, -2, 8 Sarah: 3, -5, 16 Karl: 0, -4, 4 Richard: 0, -5, 2 James: 0, -18, 4 This week's games are: Strategy: Turf War Deployment: Flank Schemes: Convict Labour, Hunting Party, Exhaust Their Forces, Neutralise the Leader, Inspection Get to it folks! Top four will go through to the finals. Also I realised that next time for a league I really need to add "number of games played" as the second figure on the leaderboard after TP, otherwise you can be penalised near the middle and bottom of the table by playing more games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevlinMudd Posted March 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 The league portion is over!

But right now it's FINALS TIME! Unfortunately I'll be out of town all of next week so won't be able to play. That leaves the semi-finals games as: Matthew vs Simon Chris vs Pete The winner of those two games will go head-to-head for the final. The semi-final games are: Strategy: Reckoning Deployment: Corner Schemes: Convict Labour, Take Prisoner, Show of Force, Catch and Release, Frame for Murder The final game is: Strategy: Stake a Claim Deployment: Close Schemes: Convict Labour, Exhaust Their Forces, Leave Your Mark, Neutralise the Leader, A Quick Murder Also after the final game we'll raffle for prizes, including everyone who posted at least three results throughout the league.

DevlinMudd Posted March 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 And we have a winner! From all accounts a thrilling final, until Matt emerged triumphant to clinch the victory 7-5. And with the victory goes the title! I, for one, welcome our new Arcanist overlords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
