On 4 May 2024 I ran a L'Art de la Guerre Tournament at the 2024 Richmond Open.
It was a small, 3 round L'Art de la Guerre tournament. It was a semi-open format, 15mm scale, 200 points\ army lists. Any army from the Ancient, Classical, or Roman period lists in the 4th edition book ADLG book was permitted.
The tournament was run in a round robin tournament, with 2 hour rounds. First round match ups were chosen at random, for the second and third round the opponents were chosen based on who won in the previous rounds, in order to determine a clear tournament winner. The winner was determined by number of victories, draws, and defeats. The winner was given a trophy and earned the title "Strategos" of the Richmond Open 2024.
1st Place / Strategos Walter Burgoyne [#55 Carthagnian] 2 wins, 1 draw
2nd Dutch Adams [#79 Classical Indian] 2 wins, 1 defeat
3rd Jeff Wiltrout [#59 Meroitic Kushite] 1 win, 2 draws
4th Michael Kelley [#109 Sassanid Persian] 1 win, 1 draw, 1 defeat
5th Paul Bellerive [#60 Classical Greek] 2 draws, 1 defeat
6th Lawrence (Alan) Wright [#39 Alexandrian Macedonian] 3 defeats
It was a fun, friendly little tournament, and I think everyone had a great time, and got three decent games of ADLG in. I will most likely run this tournament again next year, hopefully I'll get an odd number of entries so I can play as well. 😀
It has been described, tongue-in-cheek, as the "mean old man tournament" 😄, referencing the relative age of most ADLG players but honestly, the players were all gentlemen, IMO.
