I'm also following this one, and I really hope the Polish will win tomorrow's game against Italy. That might help pursuading 8 people in my country, Estonia, which probably has under 50 players in total, to form a team and participate next year :D (i.e., Poland is close, and it's cheap to go there).

The French might do okay, so long as they don't just concede on the first turn? ^^

Phew. =D

Glad to hear the event's friendly. Shame I'm not good enough to go. >_< Would love to take part in such a thing.
By the by, is there anywhere to see current rankings/standings?
From the way I understand the scoring it's just totalling the battle points from each round and highest wins?

Comrade Igor: According the rules you are not allowed to take 2 same rare choice. I.E. if you take the ancient treeman you could not take a usual treeman as a rare choice. Take waywatchers ;) Vice versa if you take treeman then your Lord choice would be anything but not a ancient treeman )

Lasthobbit's right :oops:

not really
You totalize what you've done in each battle to make the total score but
You cannot make more than 100 and less than 60, after you add point of each round.


France loose 72/88 :(

congratulation to England !!

Result comes here :

Seems that Lizardmen armies defeats anything... Surprize! DoC and VC is not a "top guys" anymore... Maybe 2000 is a good group for them, not 2250?

Russia 14th... not so good but at least we like warhammer :)

This is mostly due to the ETC restriction :

The ladder system:
All armies are divided into three categories; A, B and C. Category A armies are limited to 2000pts, B to 2250pts and C to 2500pts.
When calculating victory points at the end of the game, once you have the result, then add 10% to any category A army's losses (e.g. 1234 would become 1234+123,4=1357) rounding off as normal. Any category C army would conversely have its losses reduced by 10% (e.g. 567 would become 567-56,7=510).

Category A (2000pts)
Demons of Chaos
Vampires

Category B (2250pts)
Bretonnia
Chaos Dwarfs
Dark Elves
Dwarfs
Empire
High Elves
Warriors of Chaos
Lizardmen
Skaven
Tomb Kings
Wood Elves

Category C (2500pts)
Ogre Kingdoms
Orcs & Goblins
Dogs of War
Beasts of Chaos


French 17, this is the worse place from the beggin of this event, but it's still really nice to be there at least for the " fun background"(ie French players :D ) :?

Lizardmen can make very very very evil lists. And they don't even need lords to do it.

I'm not sure how the ETC rules restrict engines but if they can take two it would probably be enough with all other restrictions for other armies.

I think lizards are meta'd out by practically every country running lists with dragons.

The balance seems good at the ETC, though i'm not a fan of giving the lower tier armies 2500 pts, as if you take O&G, the extra points may be wasteful if you can't fit the army on the table! The more units the more chain panics and so on.

They've all been drinking and joking all night long just lie french did, not like Italy's dudes going sleeping a 22h ... :D

Next ETC will probably be in Poland, not sure Italy's will not be Blacklisted as they had some hard referee's contesting between them and polish ... :?

Would we see our dear Dalamar out there ? :lol:

Except for the Italy's backlash, just joking ;)

The Italians will not be blacklisted from the ETC.

There are two sides to every story.

I know both of them as it was I who watched over that game.

Let's look to the greatness of the ETC event and not the misunderstandings between 2 teams.

As it should be.

The greatness of the ETC is undisputed and even if this one game was as the worst buzz was, then it was 1 in 600 games.
And the total organization (which was brilliant by the way) said that it was a misunderstanding, so for me that is final.

Thanks to Gary and the rest of the team for the best run event I have been to and that is without even considering the scale (400 players in a hall make it pretty big).
Never know what to do next, you might surprise yourself
