Hi everyone, I'm in the process of working out a wee campaign, but I need a list of who is going to play.

If you wanna join in and you are fairly sure you can commit to at least 1 game/short session per week then leave your name.

I will post up a more formal thing after I have a list of names which can be updated as we go.

This is different from the previous tourney that went on:
Rather than a round robin, we're doing 4-5 rounds of matches, running through permutations of 1v1, 2v2 and 3v3 if we can each week.

When you sign up, you'll be put into either Red or Blue team.

I have created a little campaign map, where both teams have to take as much territory from the other before the rounds run out.

We'll run it through Hamachi, I'll post details of that.

When it comes to the team stuff, players can choose any race they are happy with. Winning for your colour is what counts. As for fairness, we will look at the previous tourney results and see if we can balance the teams.

-----

In between rounds, teams will in theory get to choose where on the map they will fight next and how many will be involved. I'm still working out how that will work with various permutations and stuff but it's all good for now.

So, please post your name below, at the end of this week, i'll get the list together and we can start playing the first round next week.

Cheers,

Sid

I'll play.

edit: Also, I'll likely play a race I am not entirely familiar with in the hope of bringing some balance to proceedings.

Not sure if you've considered this already, but you could occasionally use some of the less commonly used game modes such as 'assassinate, 'economic victory', 'sudden death', etc. providing they fit in with a part of the campaign storyline. These could perhaps add a bit of spice, rather than purely using the more common annihilate, control area, and take & hold game modes.

Just an idea. Not sure how good it is.

Yer, I've been trying to decide whether to use Eldar or Tau. I got pumped earlier today while playing online as Eldar, so they might be a good choice.

I may be able to find enough time for this fine adventure. :D

Pick me a race and I shall make a hash of playing with it.
