Tussle XI is in the books! A great long weekend of ASL action was had by all who came out for our event.
Thursday saw quite a number of attendees roll in for some open gaming. Meaty scenarios and other games hit the table as folks got settled in and warmed up for the tournament starting the next morning.
The Main tournament got started mid-Friday morning. The playlist was loaded up with some HASL greatness. The most popular choice was “Anchoring the Line” from the “new” Red Factories module. Of the nine pairings, this scenario was played six times! Eight players advanced to Round 2 with “Anatoly’s Ambush” getting a lot of love. Four players emerged for the semi-finals that started Saturday morning. Ted Wilcox faced Dave O’Dell and Keith Hill played Richard Vieira. All battled it out until finally Keith Hill and Dave O’Dell were victorious and went to the final round. They chose “Sporck’s Eleven” from Friendly Fire. After a grueling match, Dave was able to sneak his Russian AFVs off the board for the win and claim the Tussle XI Trophy! Congratulations Dave!
On Saturday, the three-round mini tournament saw eight players in head-to-head matches throughout the day. Bill Burtt and Steve Pleva played for the wood in the third round in “The Brickworks” from a March Madness pack. In the final close combat Steve was able to extract a hard fought victory! Way to go Steve!
We had a great turnout this year. 19 full-weekend attendees plus three for Saturday kept the action going through the whole weekend. Big thanks and gratitude go out to Rob Loper and Sean Deller for putting together a fantastic play list, the heart of any good ASL event.
Our sponsors contributed an excellent pool of prizes. Humble thanks to Alex Key Hobbies, Battle School, Bounding Fire Productions, MMP, Lone Canuck, Dispatches from the Bunker, Hollandspiele Games and DVG Games. Their generosity really put the icing on the cake!
