Started my second round... good luck everyone!
@Nelson1812 - Thanks, Archie!
It seems that my reward for Round 1 extreme good fortune is to face a Round 2 top tier opponent!
Be that as it may, I've picked my Indian army and am waiting for my opponent to start things on his end. :shootero:
@Wellsonian - Did your Round 1 opponent time-out and minimize your total points to protect his own score?
Good luck to all of us.
I must have been playing your oppo's kid brother when they were using the same computer. My round is finished with me thoroughly chastised.2nd Round... currently getting hammered in both games... HIs Indian army fighting like Viking Berserkers... my Indian army appears to have the really fluid runs, and is melting before his advance.
I managed to turn around the battle I was thinking would be a tie into a +20 victory! Not a bad second round for me!
Third round started... didn't think this was starting for another couple of weeks! My first Move, away.
@Badger73 & @Wellsonian Good Luck, have fun.
So, I've completed all three rounds of the Indian Summer tournament already. I was fortunate enough to enjoy a good return rate from my opponents.
As @Nelson1812 said during the Horse Lords tournament, it's hard to do well against these guys. The top tier players are all very good. My Horse Lords goal was to break 200 points. In fact I scored over 250 so felt satisfied with an interesting baptism in the Slitherine tournaments. In this tournament, I broke 300 points which deludes me with the belief that I am improving. At this point, I would rate myself a middle tier player. I always lose in the top tier but can mostly win in the bottom tier. In Round 3, I split the difference with my opponent. We each won one but lost another. I think that's a fair outcome. Playing FOGII with you guys has been wonderful fun.
