Unofficial Side Duels Results, pending Audits

Here's the standing as of March 23rd, for the non-Skull related duels.  I would ask all Duellists to check their scores and make sure that everything is recorded correctly.  The end date of the challenge is done and dusted but I will give the Duellists until March 26th to get their forms submitted.  Again some Duellists may be Sandbagging...

First up an updated pie chart of activity.






SD1 (Moose and ) Squirrel Duel

 


GeoffT held the lead all challenge, despite an early run by Curt and a late charge by Martijn.  All Hail Squirrel-Whisperer Geoff.

SD2 30K Heresies


Congrats to Greg, who outscored all other challengers combined.  In these crazy and chaotic times it is comforting to know that the right lunatic won tis challenge.

SD3 Skulls


Scoring is pure head count (pun intended). This one will be adjudicated by Barks.

I will leave skull tallies to our resident Post-Mortem Phrenologist.

SD4 Mech Madness


This duel tightened up but Sander prevailed.  Congrats to the MechMaster.

SD5 WW2 Duel


Well this one escalated quickly!  There were 978 points recorded between March 4-20th!  DaveD leads the way following a late war punch through the Ardennes. Funny, I thought the project was one he did a lot of this work earlier in the challenge (dare I raise the S word here?).  Hard on his heels was DavidB who mobilized his motorpool.

This one needs auditing and confirmation was everyone involved.  I am sure that MattW has a lot more than 30 W2 points.

SD6 Napoleonics




After three months there are seemingly two points separating Lee and Ray. However, I refuse to call a winner on this one.  Ray did not fill in a Duels form after March 5th and had several Napoleonic posts after that date.  The Sandbagging king has until Wednesday to claim those points or suffer defeat.

There was little doubt about this one from day 1.  Kerry was a clear winner.

See my comments on the Napoleonic Duel above.  I suspect both Lee and Ray of Sandbagging, as neither's total matches their Napoleonics scores.

Side Duels Update March 4th

Another update on where everyone stands in the non-Skull related duels.  There is not a lot of change since my last update, but I suspect that some Duellists are guilty of Sandbagging...

First up an updated pie chart of activity.




SD1 (Moose and ) Squirrel Duel



GeoffT is maintaining his lead, but Curt and MikeW are hanging tight.  I increased MikeW's scores since I missed the that fact that he had multi-squirrel entries.   Sadly still no meese....

Have we the makings of a mechanical horse race here?  TomL is cutting into Sander's early lead.

SD5 WW2 Duel


I am prepared to call this one a bust.  Six  Eight weeks in and we have a solitary Dutch Armoured Car as the combined effort from three gamers.  Actually on second thought it's much worse than that, as MattW has multiple WW2 posts unrecorded on the Duels Form.  I guess why send Tigers when a Armoured Car is all that's needed...

SD6 Napoleon's




Sandbagging alert!  Ray has no less than eight Nappy posts that are unrecorded on the Duels Form.  The Duels Wallah will be applying pub cribbage rules.  I am giving RayR 24 hours to claim these points or they will be allocated to his rivals!

SD7 Can Opener


Very little change here and Kerry is maintaining a lead.  The Snowlord needs to remember that the duel is based on total points not numbers of figures.  I have corrected his score to reflect the 15 points in armoured sisters not the 3 women.  I might not be so generously inclined next time....

By Jingo, we've got a scramble on.  The Imperial Powers have awoken to the threat posed by their rivals..
