The Napoleonic Wars:

New World Order:

270BC:

Great War:

Lord of the Rings: Middle Earth

And for anyone who thinks that I am super experienced at these, I warn you that I have only played 1 of these 6 maps.  I haven’t played the others at all.  So this is going to be a new experience for all of us!

A big thanks to Historical Board Gaming on this…

I’ve personally dropped $300 on pieces from his site, all of which are of incredible quality and manufacture.  Coach of many makes the units etc HIMSELF, and he’s support our gaming, so let’s support his business!

All of the aforementioned games are WORTH playing aswell, and hours have been spent creating them for TripleA, you’ve got to check them out!

Remember! We will start either when we reach 32 people,  Make sure you don’t miss out!

I am not entering V… ;)  Just promoting!  HBG deserves that from me.

So far everyone’s coming from the TripleA lobby.

Are the A&A.org players scared?

comon guys, this is going to be fun as hell!

[Cow]

NWO is going to be stacked deep with experienced players assuming you get some of the triplea lobby to enter.

[Veqryn]

i think most players in here will only know 1 or 2 of the 5 maps, which means that since this is not an elimination tourney, everyone still stands a pretty good chance of winning.

regardless, we have the $5 prize for anyone who wins 2 games, and plays all 5 games

and hell, even if you think you are the worst player ever, this tournament is for fun

join, and a have a totally new experience!

[Cow]

So everyone has to play every map? Then whoever wins the most games takes it?

I am still a little confused as how this works.

[Cow]

I played all these maps, I am horrible at NWO, mostly because it is a really long game, even on the lobby… it is longer than global.

The rest are faster games.

Yes.

Everyone plays every map. 
You get 2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and zero points for a loss.

At the end of the tourney, the person with the most points wins the tournament.

If there are 2 people tied for 1st somehow (which is technically impossible after 6 rounds), then we run a tiebreaker round for those two.  (participation in tiebreaker round is optional for everyone but the 2 front-runners)

[lexgreat]

would not want to miss any game where the ancient era features. I am in, wholeheartedly.
