Notes:
Games that do not make 8 turns without a result will be considered a fair fight for determination of victory.

Warriors whose death grants a bonus VP will instead subtract one VP from the fielding player.

We invite all players to join us on the Saturday night for a meal and drink to discuss tales of Victory, tales of defeat and how it was all Chippy's fault.

Looking forward to this one, just have to make a decision; roll out the trusty Early war Polish motorised infantry again or try to finish my Russian tankovy in time for the tournament.

[Tyler]

I'll probably be taking my Czech Panzerkompanie. We would very much prefer to shoot at Polish trucks than be shot at by Russian T-34s.

[Mick.G]

Ok, Polish trucks it is!

[Tyler]

How accommodating.

I suspect I could win a lot of battles if I were allowed to call up the opposing company commander in advance and make requests.

[Tyler]

Shaping up to be an interesting comp. Along with the usual suspects, there are rumours of some oddities. Frenchmen in a desert fort might make an appearance. Maybe some US Marines with early war equipment.

[Tyler]

Heads up to please get lists in to winterwar@mondayknights.org.au by the 21st.

[Mick.G]

Will do, my Polish motorised infantry will be there. I was waiting for a new platoon that I ordered but looks like I will have go with what I have.

[Tyler]

If you need to borrow miniatures that's not hard to arrange. There's at least one Polish army floating around that I don't think are being used.

[Mick.G]

Enjoyed the tournament even though my Polish motorised infantry only won 1 out of 3 games - I only played day 1. Next time I'm taking Russian Tankovy even if Tyler likes shooting at Polish trucks!
