First points update

Hi All,

The first points update for the Side Duels and Challenges has been posted.

As most people are not telling me when they have submitted something worth points I've had to try and work it out myself from trawling posts. Please have a look at the current standings and let me know if something looks incorrect.

Notable in this first points update is AlexS, DaveD and MilesR already slugging hard for the first to 1000 points bragging rights...

Cheers,
Millsy

Roster Updated

Hi All,

The Side Duels and Challenges Roster has been updated with all the new and revised information which I've received over the week. Apologies for the delay, real life reared its ugly head. Please check and make sure I've got yours right.

We are still missing prizes from a number of duels. If you are involved in one please make sure you chat to your respective duellists and fill me in on how you intend to reward the victorious. We're missing prizes for the following duels:

• First to 1000 points
• Naval
• Natives

28mm Scales Vehicles - Miles R
Now a "thing" as JamesB has taken up the gauntlet!

That's all for now. Remember, send updates and additions to challengesideduels@gmail.com. Thanks!

Roster Updated

Hi All,

The Side Duels and Challenges Roster has been updated with all the new and revised information which I've received over the last few days. Please check and make sure I've got yours right.

A couple of people have sent in Side Duels with no participants other than the individual setting up the duel which I guess is a way of issuing a challenge?!? I'm not going to add these until such time as they have at least two participants to avoid cluttering the list with duels which may not go ahead.

The list of "uncontested" duels is currently as follows:

Native Duel - DavidB
Include a native in each unit painted. In David's own words... "I will be placing at least one native within every unit painted. This can be warpaint, skin hue, facial features, totems, even tribal gear....everyone talks about those apron ed French Imperial Guard swinging axes, but nobody noticed that one Huron hidden in file behind the eagle?! ;) I challenge anyone to see who is sneakier! You don't even have to buy additional troops, just alter one to be painted by conversion or color application...."

28mm Scales Vehicles - Miles R
Who can paint the most vechicles by Challenge end.

If you are inclined to accept any of these Side Duels let me know on challengesideduels@gmail.com and I will set them up properly. Thanks.

Till next time!

Duels Roster Available

Hi All,

The first round of the Side Duels and Challenges roster is available via the link on the menu above! It will continue to live there and be the one source of truth for all point tallies, etc.

This includes all the material sent to me previously via email, plus that which I was confident I could capture from the comments on the main Challenge blog.

If there are any corrections or additions please send them to challengesideduels@gmail.com and I will amend accordingly. The roster will continue to grow up to and potentially even past the start of the Challenge.

Have I got your side duel listed correctly?

PLEASE REVIEW the roster if you have issued or accepted a side duel to ensure I've got you down correctly and that the rules and spoils of the victor are a true reflection of what's been agreed.

Have you really thought about what you're doing?

You will notice that a number of side duels don't have agreed prizes and in some cases even the rules are yet to be defined. I assume this is because you've been struck dumb by the sheer terror of what you have committed to. Or not. Either way, please let me know the details ASAP.

Some housekeeping stuff...

1. I'll be updating a couple of times a week, probably around Wednesday and Sunday evenings my time i.e. Australian Eastern Daylight Time. Whenever you score points towards your side duel please email me and it will be added in the next update. Likewise if you win a side duel.

2. I've structured the rules of each side duel to remove any reference to losers or vanquished. There are no losers here, just winners and the rest. :-)

3. It is assumed that victors have bragging rights. There's no need to include that in the rules of each and every duel! No, really, there isn't.

4. If you have a question please ask! I'll endeavour to answer as quickly as possible and where relevant will post here for the benefit of all.

That's it for now people. Now get back to prepping and virtually slapping one another about the face with a metaphorical gauntlet.

Yours affectionately,
Millsy the GIMP and Side Duels Wallah
