Applications for this tournament close at 12 noon (midday) server time, 11th August.

I've yet to enter a major tourney and have only taken part in 2 smacks. From the outside they don't look as much fun as [L]eagues, as you seem to be fotrced to elfball and/or cherrypick to build up a large bank balance so you can hire stars/wizards and replace dead players.

But rather than whine from the sidelines, I thought I'd try and take part in a major to experience it 1st hand. Some of the other WIL regulars should be in it too so we can all cheer each other on.

My highest TR teams are my Wood Elves, Pro Elves, stuck up High Elves and 2 Undead teams. The elves are much easier to get games with, but break quite easily and I'm trying to resist the temptation to just elfball my way to a super team (though the High Elves have yet to play a real match). The undead on the other hand are pretty sturdy and one of my favourite teams, but they suffer due to having nothing to spend their money on and opposing wizards will make life difficult. Also to be competitive they really need 3 DP zombies and then will never get games.

250TR is the target and I have a week and a half to get there so let's see if it's possible. Another possibility is to ghet my humans up to scratch, but they are only at Tr 156 after 11 games!

Humans 210 150/156
Feeble Undead 181/185
Florien 182/200
Pro Elf 210 184/183
Undead 210 190/184
High Elf 210 194/204
