Asterix! [Winner: redspyder]

[LittleMao]

CONGRATS REDSPYDER!!!!

The year is 50 BC. Gaul is entirely occupied by the Romans. Well, not entirely... One small village of indomitable Gauls still holds out against the invaders…

For any Asterix fans, here is a CC tournament which travels through all the (occasionally tenuous) Asterix-themed maps. Like any battle with the Romans, games will be fast and frenetic: multiplayer escalating games.

Number of entrants: 32
Settings: standard, auto, sequential, escalating, chained; 4-player, 6-player or 8-player games.
Premiums only as there will be more than 4 games ongoing.

Format

Round 1: Asterix in Gaul (32 players) COMPLETE

Spoiler

All players are randomly placed into 6 games – 3 4-player and 3 8-player games. The winner of each game receives 5 points (for 4-player games)/8 points (for 8-player), and in addition you get 1 point for each kill. The 8 players who receive the least points are eliminated (in the event of a tie, a tie-breaker will be played on Celtic Nations).

sounds like an interesting tournament. i'd like to give it a go - provided that not knowing who or what asterix is is not a problem.
if some knowledge of asterix is important. let me know and i can decide if i should remain in the tournament.

[LittleMao]

nope, no knowledge needed - though those who have read the Asterix books will get a warm fuzzy feeling when one of their favourites is the tenuous link to a map...

[Aleksandr]

i'll join in the fun pls
