"It is better to avoid a tricky opponent than one who never lets up. The latter makes no secret of what he is doing, whereas it is difficult to find out what the other is up to."
- Maurice (from the Strategikon)
(An early Germanic hero, Arminius, at the Teutoburg Forest)
10k Winter Tourney of the Nordic Woodland (Sunday, March 2)
I thought we'd use the Nordic Woodland for the tourney map with no restrictions on rules or factions. It's 'anything goes' in the Nordic Woodland (Winter setting)! The map has lots of trees (meaning you won't have the best view of the overall battle if you fight in the forest). So it should be fun under the Nordic sun!
Special Tourney Rules:
- Season: WINTER
- Map: NORDIC WOODLAND
(host has to set these conditions or the game is nullified)
