Hello everyone!
Updated (15/7/99)
13/7/99 I have got a few players for the Europeans - but need some more
international players to fill in a Best of the Rest team. Any takers?
13/7/99 The latest edition of Bree is now out. Please ask if you have not
yet received it. Next Bree out for the Pubmeet.
1/7/99 Pubmeet news - we will be holding a pubmeet near to Reading train
station (The Firkin pub opposite the train station) on the Saturday 7th
August - 2pm onwards. Hope to see some of you there.
28/6/99 Game 42 has ended in a slightly unusual way. A pop centre victory
by the Good nations brought home the bacon this time. Darren Farman had
the highest victory points with 1825 points, Mark Seward second on 1800
points. A not very nice shock to the Evil team I might add!
7/6/99 I will be sending this to the list each time it gets updated so that
those who on the list get the information fastest. This will mean that new
games, information etc will come to you all first.
18/5 Due to the lack of interest for the list we have set up another one
specifically for MEPBM. Check out our website for more information
(dspace.dial.pipex.com/harlequin.games/). You can also subscribe directly
by going to http://www.onelist.com and following the instructions setting
up an account to the "mepbmlist".
26/5 The European Championships is here. I am looking into it having other
countries outside of the UK as well. The system is 1650, with a League
set-up. Points will be allocated for a win (5), and also for the
difference between the teams players in the end game. So at the end of the
game (52 turns maximum) the number of the nation in the winner's team minus
the number of active nations in the loser's team (generally zero). This
will mean that you are encouraged to stick with the game to help your team.
As this will take a while to play out you are allowed to swap over team
members if need be. One team gets to choose good or evil and then for the
return match then they swop teams. Teams of 12 required with Rhudaur and
Haradwaith evil, Dunlendings and Corsais good. (5 points for a One Ring
win). The Easterlings are removed from the game.
I have positions available in a number of games.
13/7/99 Game 14 (turn 4) has the Arthedain position available - any takers
(at present there is someone running it but they want to pass it on). Game
2 nearly ended with evil in the ascendancy have got the Sindar available.
1650 [Game 19] Taken: 3, 6, 7, 13, 14, 15, 19, 20
2950 [Game 23] Available: 1, 10, 22
1000 [Game 46] We need one position [FP] to fill in the game. This three
way battle sees Harlequin provide a team to try our hand at giving everyone
else a good fight. (Nine Neutrals (Harlequin) 8 FPs and 8 DSs (the aligned
nations having a Kingdom each)).
