RE: Any interest in a "No Holds Barred" Tourney?
HI Guys

I ran a WW2, World Cup style, no-holds barred touney q uite a few years ago here.
It worked well, tough it turned into a zero size battle by the end.
I suggest some ruling to keep zero size units to a minimum...somehow.

Also, having a 'group' stage before the knockout quarters, semis etc means you have a huge amount of battles to deal with...and all the time they take to play.
It's a good idea, but masses of work. I'd keep it to straight knockout...the more simple, the more chance there is of finishing.

Dropouts will be your biggest hassle...especially if you allow long battles.
2 months to finish a 20 turn game is not unrealistic, times 6 battles, is a year.

Good luck
