Come on ya' hermits......it's a War Gaming Club......a chance to test your mettle against someone you've never played before. Get out of your comfort zones and sign up for Pete's sake. It's small scenarios, won't take hardly any or your time. You might surprise yourself and make a new gaming partner.

We are at 17 players. I have decided not to try for 32 players, and closing entry into this tournament. We will have to reduce it by one to make it a balanced bracket of 16 participants with 4 rounds. I will drop out and focus on running the tournament. The participants are:

Landser34
lethal
Nick.Rusch
Partizanka
The_General
Steele God
Ashcloud
akilpio
General Mod
LEGXXIIPRPF
hmcsrosthern
ComradeP
Fhil
Smedley
ShipweckedFool
lorddeadwood
Belisarius

I will in the next few days send out the complete tournament rules and the first round match ups. Going pickerel (walleye) fishing.

For reference (subject to change)

This is another attempt to try to get a Tiller Campaign Series tournament going. Note that there are some changes from my original posting after reviewing with Mr. Grumpy. The goals of this tournament are:

Opportunity for TheBlitz.Club members to meet new players
Allow enthusiasts of a particular Tiller Campaign Series (e.g., World War 1 campaigns) to play in a tournament setting.

The complete tournament rules will be published once we determine if this is a go, but here is a summary. The tournament will have a bracket format. The scenarios must be in the Blitz scenario database, from any title in any Tiller Campaign Series, but must be small (i.e., SM 1-2) and short (i.e., approximately 10-15 turns). The participants in the pairings can choose their own scenario to play. If picking a scenario proves difficult the organizers will choose the scenario from the agreed to series, and if agreement on the series is not possible Panzer Campaigns is the default. The scenarios will be played in a mirrored format, simultaneously, and the winner will be determined by the best overall score of both games. Games not completed in the time allocated for the round will be adjudicated by the organizers to determine the winner.

In order to proceed we need the following:

A minimum of 8 and a maximum of 32 participants who are members of the Blitz.
Each participant must have at least one common game with all of the other participants.

We will give a few weeks for participants to sign up, but if we don't get the above, we will cancel this attempt.

If you are interested, please contact me via the Blitz private messages and indicate:

Your handle at the Blitz and your email. Email will be the communication medium if we proceed.
A statement that you have updated your TheBlitz.Club profile with a list of all games you own in the Tiller Campaign Series
Your preference of World War 1 Campaigns, Panzer Campaigns, and Modern Campaigns. The preference will be used to pair participants, where possible.
