So, Tier 1 is coming to a close this coming Friday with the Total War game. There are still points up for grabs as the scoring system continues through the Total War game.

Head on over to the Escalation League page to see the current scoring. Dennis took some film of the games Friday, so stay tuned for those!

Round 1, Chris' Radzeki (Scout) list vs my British, 600 points, and Duane's panzer's vs Tristan's Panzer Grenadiers, 600 points, kill the Enemy HQ



Round 2, Me vs Duane, Chris vs Tristan, Get a Unit off (the enemy board edge)


ARRs will be posted here as soon as Matt Varnish edits/uploads them - Stay tuned!

Mid War Escalation League - update

I added a new page to track the league, and posted the basic rules for tier 1 and such. I have posted the armies people will be working on, and will put the lists up once I receive them all, so no one can peek!

Stay tuned for Game Summit coverage this weekend - lots of pics and vids to come from our Eastern Front Mega Game!

Cheers,

Flames of War Escalation league

The Drunken Gamers of Ottawa are starting a Flames of War Escalation league!

With Flames of War picking up steam, all of us busily working away on terrain/armies, and more people showing interest every week. This is a GREAT time to start one!

Some of my inspiration comes from HERE  

We will start out small, say 600 points, 1 HQ and 1 combat platoon minimum, and grow from there. This will encourage painting (which we are all pretty good at already) for newer players, and make all our games look awesome with always playing with painted stuff. It will also encourage small, faster, simpler games for use to really learn the nuances of the rules and tactics of this awesome game. It also allows us to keep playing regularly, and not burn out on trying to get loads done asap. Again, we can even encourage people to bring new players to test it out, knowing that games will be smaller and easier to "demo" weekly if needed.

I'm thinking we will have 3 stages, each of 4 weeks starting with 600 points, then 1000, then 1500. That gives people a month to paint roughly 500 point blocks of models, so we can work on other things (if we want) and still progress.

We can also be setting certain pre-determined scenarios for each point bracket, so as to ease the list building and make the games link together like a campaign. Each player will have to play as many different opponents as possible. I would also like to cap it off with a round robin tourney over the course of a Sat or Sun and the end!

I'm looking to kick things off in the next week or two so stay tuned to this space (keyword "Escalation League") to see people's progress and lists!

Cheers,
