Side Duels Update February 21, 2025

Another update on where everyone stands in the non-Skull related duels.  The scores reflect my download at 8am CST on February 20th, so won't reflect Duels Forms submitted after that time.  

First up an updated pie chart of activity.

SD1 (Moose and ) Squirrel Duel

GeoffT is maintaining his lead, although his challengers have narrowed the gap slightly.   He no longer meets the two power squirrel target.   Sadly no meese....

SD2 30K Heresies

With all of the upheaval and unpredictability in the world today, it is reassuring to note that Greg has taken the lead in the 30K Duel.  However, the Heretics have not been eliminated with Curt and PeterA within spitting distance.

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


While others have made movements, Sander appears to be romping and stomping away with this one.

SD5 WW2 Duel

I am prepared to call this one a bust.  Six weeks in and we have a solitary Dutch Armoured Car as the combined effort from three gamers.

SD6 Napoleonics

I saw an update on this cartoon with Pitt and Boney's roles being taken by Trump and Putin, but couldn't relocate it in time to post it.   It seems apt given the hungry leer that the Orange Gelatinous Cube is casting on my homeland.

We have a race on! DaveD made a late charge to come up into second place, and everyone expects that Ray is sandbagging.

SD7 Can Opener


Kerry has widened his lead. I suspect Curt is culling the larder to eliminate tins made in the USA.

SD8 Retreat from Moscow

I suspect that this one will go to the end as Lee and Ray are regularly posting wonderful work on their projects.  I hope that we get an AAR at the end of it all.  I've heard rumours that DIY stores in Kent are running out of sandbags...

SD9 Colonial Wars

RobH better take this cartoon's message seriously.  Dave has turned his eyes to the Zulu Wars and I fear that Rob will be overwhelmed by the Impis like Chelmsford at Isandlwana.

Side Duels Update February 3, 2025

Another update on where everyone stands in the non-Skull related duels.

First up an updated pie chart of activity.

SD1 (Moose and ) Squirrel Duel

GeoffT has responded to his challengers and widened his lead.  He now sits comfortably, meeting the two power squirrel target with as many squirrels as his two closest competitors.   We still await our first moose....

SD2 30K Heresies

Yawn, no movement in the last two weeks.  Curt continues to hold a slim, if unexpected lead over Greg.  Should we check that Greg is doing ok, he must be in 30K withdrawal after a two week period with no posts.  Publius Quinctillus Gregus where are our Legions?

SD4 Mech Madness


Sander has made his rompy-stompy move and sits atop the leader board.

SD5 WW2 Duel

We've had minimal movement here, in that someone has actually made an entry.  But six weeks in and we have a solitary Dutch Armoured Car as the combined effort from three gamers.

SD6 Napoleonics

Oh thank goodness, there's something to report on this Duel!  Lee has built up a considerable lead but is rightfully worried about that sandbagging scoundrel Ray.  Plus there are heavy hitters who have yet to turn their brushes in the direction of the Corsican Ogre's wars.

Kerry is leading the fight for the larder shelves, having opened twice as many tins as anyone else.

SD8 Retreat from Moscow

This is essentially a repeat of the top two positions from the Napoleonic Side Duel.  Lee's cossacks seem to have Ray's Grande Armee surrounded, but we can't count that wily badger out yet.

SD9 Colonial Wars

No movement since last week, a measly 5 points between the two.  There's been some fine stuff from the Sudan posted, but not by either Rob or Dave.
