von Trapp Scouting Report

"Okay guys, first of all thanks for filling out the sheet rating the armies of our various opponents this week. It has thrown up some very interesting observations. Appreciate that it has been done purely on the strength of your own army vs. the opposing forces - but it would be unfair to include the impact of talent. There are some very good players coming. I know, I've read it on their blogs and on Twitter.



In fact all I can say is that we are lucky that this even is not being played on Twitter as NZHammered, in particular, could bank the trophy.

So here's our ranking of the lists based on the points you awarded them.

  • #9 - Cut The Mustard
  • #8 - Over The Hill
  • #7 - Capital Crusaders
  • #6 - NZHammered
  • #5 - Oman
  • #4 - Shaken Not Stirred
  • #3 - Grumpy Old Men
  • #2 - Nerdymen
  • #1 - Kapiti Krushers
I was surprised how high some of the teams were, again in particular NZHammered and the Omani Team, but they may surprise and replicate our intelligence.

Whatever you do don't let this file fall into the wrong hands and don't let slip what only us and Locky "Khodda Nassar" Reid know - that this is only a five round event."

  2. Curious, Are these the same twits (is that what you call the plural of people who use twitter?) that picked the Masters results?

    1. Don't worry we won't underestimate your list we all had it down as a 20-0 our way. I got the chance to play it at Arch Enemy really good first two turns then I got to combat and all the HE's died

    2. Yep Peter, same twits. Still to give them a break they didn't bet on you dodging 1st, 3rd and 4th, instead chumpbashing Rory

    5. Yeah we have Skaven :) Infact I would say that is our most important army
      ....

      People have a habit of rolling over for me, Especially when I play up in Auckland. In fact James if I recall you rolled over for me also?...Oh well.
      I didn't dodge 1st or 4th?? I played both. The only reason why they were first and fourth were because they beat me... Rory is no Chump.

    6. Don't worry mate, I remember your tomb scorpion broke my Mage in combat when I had turned into a dragon - even dice that good won't save you this time!

  3. Its probably fair on the lists we came up with. We thought about taking 3 carbon copy netlists but thought it'd make any wins hollow victories......

  4. I'm so wearing a Turban now!

    As for the results, always good to be underestimated. I look forward to watching certain teams pull a Wellington Phoenix next weekend.
