Was talking to Chewie on the phone earlier (to arrange for him to cover my goes whilst I am on holiday).

One of the things he said to me was that he couldnt believe that FISO had challenged TNC as they are stronger than Death by Commity. (apparently). Crown is the player to watch....

Just seen on the site that TNC humped DBC 78-31. Ouch. Let's try and beat that

I'd say we're looking at 6-11 from the first set which isn't bad.

We've still a long way to go to sort out just which maps are better for team play, team play itself and which of us work together well as a pair/ trip/ quad.

We're playing people that might well have played the same maps together for a very long time in multiple tourneys and wars, experience counts!

away set 2 now posted in the CC forum, would all clan members please visit there ASAP to indicate which maps they have knowledge/ experience of, a few tricky ones there.

I really need to make the pairings and send out the invites today.

[Richt]

I am back and I am available......

Would all clan members please visit the thread on CC, set 3 v TNC to be sorted out (should have done it by now)

nice!

3rd set home invites sent out, hopefully maps and pairings will be okay

3rd away set posted on the CC thread, 3/4 were under consideration for our home games, 2/3 very difficult ones there.

TheCrown is contacting the mods to see if it's possible to extend the match to another set of 9/9 home/away to start next week if allowed.

Even better than that....TheCrown's win rate on Conquer Rome before our game was 32/38

We handed him only his 7th defeat on it thanks to mongoose

I'd very much like to play with David Tonkin too, my ORIGINAL doubles partner. It would be good for him to see how much I have improved!

Santander is a dump. and i'm not talking about the bank... nice tapas bar tho in the old town. Rioja was the trip highlight

I see our match with TNC is effectively over. Just wondered what we felt we have learnt from the tournament and what the plans for next clan battle are.

Things I've learnt:
- dice are just as important as food strategy. In no spoils game it's not always important to take a spot if it weakens you due to using too many dice
- coomunication is important in the game. Don't need war and peace but just a check every now and then that both singing from same hymn sheet
- if member of opposition is on 12, 15 or 18 territories erc, with tryin to knock one of them off just so they don't get extra troop.
- there are so many maps I have no idea how to play
- have enjoyed all my games so far in the doubles, trips and quads. Saying that, would also like to try some 1 vs 1 as well

Regarding improving knowledge of maps, wonder if we should start a section where people who are proficient on certain maps give us an idea on best strategy to start game with or things to be aware of. I know I would certainly learn a hell of a lot of we could do something like that

I've created a google docs sheet with some map stats and also the TNC war data, linked from a post in the forum on CC.

I'd say some of us aren't as good on certain maps as we think we are and are better at some maps than we think too.

We all have a bit more map knowledge now than when we started and hopefully by looking at how games were lost a bit more tactically aware on many of them too. There's still going to be games where some of us don't have the foggiest, but if we're going to keep seeing these maps come up in the away sets then we need to work them out else they're simply going to be automatic losses.

I did try to make appearances roughly even throughout this war but I think in future if someone has good strength and knowledge of more maps then they need to be used more to lead/ teach the rest of us. Should be easier to accomplish with trips and quads rather than just dubs, but if one or two people playing more games than the rest helps gain more wins then surely that's the way to go?

Ashers and Wilbert win as a doubles team. 4 in a row for us now.

Route 66 win

Can I have Wilbert again?
