The Great War Mini Tournament 4 - Cambrai

Absolutely. Somewhat I missed that.

Definitely yes!

So from that can I take you two as starters?

I really like French expansion and played most of scenarios so for sure will be willing to play!

Thanks Michal. I hope to organise the next tournament with the French, perhaps after the Ancients OT.

For all interested, the report from the tournament was just created - you can find it here:

Congrats to Max, and well done to Michal

Hello guys,

I was just thinking about the two of you yesterday, congratulations to both for an eminently enjoyable final match.

I think The Great War is a great addition to the system and a lot of fun; I admit I still like Ancients a bit more all-around, but TGW is following closely. I hope to play it more face-to-face, if not else to fully enjoy the miniatures.

Thanks to everybody involved, and a particular thanks to Mark for his work. See you on the next battlefield.

The Finals - Game 2

MichalK (German) 8
Viridovilas (British) 10

Finally, we got to play our game. Sorry for the delays…

The battle was mainly fought on the South bank of the St. Quentin canal, where Brits quickly took advantage of the few German units behind the bridges after an initial too reckless advance on their right. Afterwards, one MkIV tank on the British left crossed the bridge and cautiously advanced on the open field. Despite the German fierce resistance, after a few crossfires the British finally took the field.

Thanks Michal for the game!

Note: there are two small errors in the module

1. Special personnel figures to deploy are 3 for each side and not 2 as indicated on the board (we played both the battles with the right number)
2. The British tank on the right is a male MKIV and not a female one as wrongly deployed on the Vassal field (we played it wrong both time)

Sorry for delay guys, Max has pretty intensive time now so he could not play. I am fine with waiting.

Hi mark,
do you conflicting schedules we had to postpone our game couple of times. We are set to play next week.

did I miss a result here? Has the Final been played out?

I agree with Michal,

Pls only be patient for about 10 days, since I’m currently leaving for work for a week or so.

I’ll contact Michal as soon as I’ll be back, in order to fix a day for the battle.

Max

We will simply play a rematch and start to worry if the 19-9/10-7 result makes a difference.

No answers from Richard Borg, so I’d say 10-7.

So what was the resolution here and when is the return match being played?

You can PM Richard Borg on BGG

That was my idea, too… Just done.

And the very same act of destroying the unit ends the game immediately. Which is "more immediately" ? I am personally inclined to think they are contemporary, so the final result is 10-7, but I have not found an official interpretation at a cursory search. I'll search more thoroughly and let you know.

You can PM Richard Borg on BGG or other medium and you should get answer pretty quickly. I am a bit puzzled with whole situation but seems that 10-7 is correct interpretation (although not wished by me ).

I agree, simultaneous gain and loss of medaals

Well, that is a turn start temporary medal objective, so as you said is immediately lost as soon as the unit vacates the hex. And the very same act of destroying the unit ends the game immediately. Which is "more immediately" ? I am personally inclined to think they are contemporary, so the final result is 10-7, but I have not found an official interpretation at a cursory search. I'll search more thoroughly and let you know.

Sorry the actual score of the above mentioned match is German 10 - British 9 or 7 not 8 or 6 (can’t edit the text from my iPad)!

The Finals - Game 1

MichalK (British) 8 or 6 (???)
Viridovilas (German) 10

Please see the attached log. Me and Michal have been puzzled by a strange final: German has won by killing a British unit that was occupying a town hex. Being that hex vacant, the British should have also loosed the 2 VPs for controlling the town. We just know that the game ends at the instant the last unit is killed, but in the same instant the losing side has also lost the town control... How this situation is supposed to be ruled?

I hope to have been not too cryptic

If any has an idea (or the official rule interpretation) please share it with us

Hi Guys,

we will be playing first final tomorrow, Friday, 1900 GMT (21 Central European Time).
You are welcome to join!

Regards,
Michal

Italia-Polonia!
Polska-Włochy!

Even better than a football match.
