Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

[Charles Yaw]

We held the Midwest Team Tournament in KC this past Saturday and Sunday.
There were 3 full teams of 4 players each and a total of 13 players
participating. (2 players split 1 spot). We had 2 out of town players,
John Garlic from Texas and Jon Becker from Iowa.

We played to tournament over 2 days because of difficulties in procuring a
site that would allow Saturday evening play. I think I have that problem
taken care of for next year so the tournament could be 3 rounds on Saturday
and 1 round on Sunday morning. Hopefully this will make travel easier for
out-of-towners to come participate.

The format was really fun. As mentioned above, we had 4 players on each
team, with each player playing his own game and then the team taking the
best 3 results each round. This made for players checking on their
teammates games, sharing "scouting reports" and general talk about
strategies to play different opponents.

The games were very competitive. There were only 7 5 points wins and there
were 6 ties out of the 24 total games played.

Here are the results:

Best Sportsman - John Garlic - Hey, he was great to play and he came
all the way from Texas.

Best Painted - Matt Johnson - Very Nice 100 Years War English Army

Best Camp - Mike Lewis - Check out the camels shading themselves
under the palms.

Greatest Military Disaster - Chris Campell. Chris was playing a list new to
him
and he got better as the tournament
progressed.

Best Rookie - Will Muckel - Impressive performance for a very new
player.
