Diplomacy Machine - Saturday, January 5th
25 Pts, Character Restriction across teams
Registration/Check In: 11:30 AM
First Orders Due In: 12:30 PM
Last Orders: Around 7 PM, 7:30 PM dice down.
$5 entry fee
Players must pre-register ahead of time. Walk Ins will have to wait until noon to see if they have a spot. Please send me a PM. Posting to this thread that you will be attending will be largely ignored. Players will be assigned or can register as a team of three by same faction or thematically close as possible. If you are registering as a team, please make certain your team is of the same or similar faction (such as all Khador, Circle + One Minion, True King Cygnar (Magnus + Cygnar or Mercs), Lael Resistance, etc).

The updated rule set is found in this thread.

We will have matching medals for the winning team.

50 Pt SR 2013 - Saturday, January 19th
50 Pts, Character Restrictions apply. 1 list required, 2 lists optional. Finals Table, 3rd place determined by CP.
Registration/Check In: Noon
Dice Off: 12:45 PM
$5 Entry Fee

Just kicking off with a 50 pt'er to start the year. Hopefully everyone will have a chance to see what SR 2013 will be bringing.



So everyone is aware, my goal is to use these tournaments to prep for several upcoming conventions that some people have expressed interest in. As a result, we will more than likely have at least two to three SR tournaments every quarter, including practice Hardcore (otherwise known as Softcore). For those not looking for the Steamroller excitement, we will be planning to run a few night tournaments on Saturday focusing more on Highlander, Mangled Metal, Death Race, or Cage Match tournaments.

League season will start with the Privateer Press season, although we will diverge from it down the road.

Looks like I may need to work on Sat so will miss the fun. I'll stop by when I'm finished up to see how it is going.

Golds on Sat afterwards to celebrate the New Year in gaming? :dance:

Don, did you find a home for your Skorne...or did you jump factions?
I do not like planning ahead. I prefer the perfect move for the moment. The rest is up to my dice.

Cool, we'll start scouting for a third. If anyone wants to team up with Skorne and Magnus's mercs...we now have an open spot. NO ELVES!

Cool, I've got the word out with some of my Skorne buddies also.

Team Skorne provides golden lagers and wenches aplenty to teammates.

Third member of Skorne obtained. I'm bringing massive Will power to this war. Will S. with Mercs and Will K. with Skorne were willing to merge efforts.

Diplomacymachine is such a cool format. Would love to see the juggling match between existing battles and orders synced/tightened up, but even with that weird dilemma we ran into, its so much damn fun. Thanks for running Alex (and thanks for so much of the concept work Don).

Strategy-wise, does it seem smart to continuously retreat from fights to get back into giving orders? It seemed like those of us that were always committed with battles. And missing orders, were left really far behind in the land grab...objective chase. Did it play out that way in the last Diplomacymachine also? My team started thinking that we should take the attrition loss, resupply, and grab a couple more territories versus taking the time to complete one game. It seemed like a good move and the moment that strategy clicked we started intentionally tying opponent armies up while allies chased territory. We were far behind by then, but still seemed valid as a strategy. Thoughts?

Yeah, as team Vinter at the last diplomacymachine our main strategy was to get alliances with everyone and get into as few battles as possible to grab as much land as possible. Worked out pretty well.
