can the last league games be finished by the last Tuesday of November please, as we then need to play the semis and final by AGM night on December 22nd.
the final COULD be played on this night but will be better if played no later than the Tuesday before, i.e. 15th December, so we know at the AGM who has won the trophy, and may have time to get it engraved
we will need to check with Dave if Warren can play his games, and if not, possibly remove all previous results for him so far, so the table is fair for all
thanks guys

The Battle of Smashing Ryan's Privates: Neil vs Ryan, Axis victory 20-11
Axis increase their lead to an unassailable 17 wins to 7 and 176 vps.
Ryan is now out of the running for a top 2 spot. Jack is guaranteed a top 2 finish, Henry can still come first or second with 2 good results: 2 wins puts him 2nd, a win and a draw puts him 2nd, 2 wins scoring at least 11 vp above his opponents score puts him top, a single loss however and he is done for.
Neil stays 4th but can leap to 2nd place if he wins his last game by at least 7 vp, anything less than this, even a 6vp win, means yours truly comes 2nd.
The last few games are going to be very intense, lets get them done!
Still to go, just 5 games:
Neil v Michael Dave v Henry Paul v Henry Warren v Ryan Warren v Jon

if he does pull out, then all his games would be removed as null and void i would think, to make it fair on everyone, but as you have to play Paul and Dave you need to sort those asap please and def by end of November as this needs to be done and dusted by AGM night, with the final hopefully played the week before AGM, i.e. 15th December
are you playing one of your games this week?

Battle of the Necessary Capitulation: Henry vs Dave, Allied Victory 25-0
Dave capitulates and Henry moves up to 3rd.
Due to Warren's work commitments he won't b able to finish his games so I have removed his scores. This puts Carl and Jack on the same number of league points...and victory points...and wins. You haven't made this easy. I've kept Jack at #1 spot as he has the higher number of VPs for.
2 GAMES REMAIN, BOTH OF WHICH CAN CHANGE WHO GOES THROUGH!
-NEIL V MICHAEL: Will decide who is in the number 2 spot for the Axis, Neil or myself. If Neil wins by at least 7 he goes up to 2nd, however if he loses by 11 he will stay a lowly 4th AND Paul could potentially finish ahead of him if Paul wins his game! Its crunch time for Neil who could come anywhere from 2nd to last!
-PAUL V HENRY: Will decide the top 2 spots for the Allies. Jack is guaranteed a top 2 finish, but with Henry on 20 vp and Carl on -15, even a loss by 34 vp would mean Henry comes second.

mmm, because I had to remove Warren's scores, who Jack beat massively and who beat you, so lets not get too cocky shall we?

The Battle of the Bald: Neil vs Michael, Axis victory 16-9
Neil beats Michael by 7 points, which funnily enough is the exact number he needed to come second. Funny that eh? Saves me some aggro I suppose.
Paul and Henry play their game next week and then we can crack on with the semis.

Pete and I may introduce a new score sheet for the semis and finals which need to be used, and then given in at the end of the game
these will then be checked and verified, including legality of lists etc.
if this system works, it more than likely will be brought in for next years competition, as it will also mean we can keep them as a record should we need to look back and confirm scores etc. as well as to ensure / confirm games have been played

Sounds like a plan, people do tend to get mixed up when their army list is scribbled on the back of a f*g packet, all of a sudden their entire force become veteran lol. Maybe even give your opponent a copy of your army list. boltaction.easyarmy.com/Is so simple to use.

I don't know what you mean. My 500 point army has only got 10 seven man Gurkha squads with 4 heavy howitzers.

Simple to use, not simple to check since it lists loads of potential options but not necessarily the ones chosen

The Battle of Anti-Air Alley: Paul v Henry. Axis victory, 11-4
Thats the final game of the tables done and dusted, we are now onto the semi final games and they are:
DAVE VS JACK
NEIL VS HENRY
It was a close run thing right to the end with any number of people who could have gone through, so congratulations to our 4 semi finalists. If you could get your games done next week we can have the final the week after. I will text/email you all as a reminder.
And now the breakdown!
The Axis are the runaway winners, with 18 wins to 7 and a VP difference of 174. Paul, who came last for the Axis would have come 1st for the allies with his score, thats how much of a whitewash it was. That said, it was an incredibly close finish for both sides. For the Allies, with 3 players on 10 points and only VP difference sorting them out (with Jack and Carl on the same VP difference, so I had to go to wins...oh no wait, they are on the same number of W/D/L. I had to go to VPs for, and even then the difference was only 3!) For the Axis, there was hardly anything in it, had Paul scored one more win and a draw he would have been on the same LP as myself and Neil. Had Graham scored one more win he also would have been on the same number of LP. Dave had ran away with it pretty early on with his consistent victories. Neil came second by 1 vp!
On average, the Axis scored 15.7 VPs per game, with the Allies only scoring 9.9. Thats only .2 of a VP away from the Axis essentially winning every single game.
The George Patton Award: The person who destroyed the most units, with 101 VPs (16.3 VPs per game) was Dave. The Walter Model Award: The person who got his men killed the least, losing only 38 vps (6.3 vps per game) was Pete.
The Friedrich Paulus Award: The person who did the least damage with 22 vps (4.4 vp per game) was Jon. The Mark Clark Award: The person who who lost the most units with 113 vps against (22.6 vps per game) was Jon.
The biggest positive VP difference was for Neil, with 47 VP. Neil also never lost a game. The biggest negative difference was for Jon, with -91 vp. Jon also never won a game.
I think the take home message from these stats is: don't borrow Jon's dice.
