Hi Folks - Yes Landwaster 2021 - the XXth Landwaster will be happening!
Owing to the current climate of uncertainty in the ACT - I have once again moved the venue across the border to Goulburn and in order to fit in with this re-scheduling I have also shifted the date forward one week.
Canberra Kriegspielers in partnership with Essex Miniatures Australia, Micks Metal Models, Olympian Games, Hall of Ancient Warriors and Leadbear's Tufts proudly present
Landwaster 2021 The Stephen Webb Memorial DBA Tournament
When: Sunday November 21 st Where: Goulburn Workers Club - 1 McKell Pl Goulburn NSW
Time: 10:00AM for player briefing - first game starts 10:30AM
Cost: $18.00 with a range of discounts - most entrants should get away with only paying $10
In order to meet the COVID safe restrictions - The event is capped at 30 entrants, and as per New South Wales rules, all attendees must be double vaccinated.
Contact David Lawrence at landwaster<at>iinet<dot>net<dot>au
Landwaster is an open fixed list event for 15mm armies and uses DBA3 rules.
The scoring system is the ACT Standard:
Win --> 8 points (flat score)
Loss --> 1 point + 1 per element killed (max 3) + 1 point for killing a general + 1 point for capturing a camp
Draw --> 1 per element killed (max 3) + 1 point for killing a general + 1 point for capturing a camp

So here we are with 6 already confirmed and four lists (I think).
Most of the sponsors are now confirmed as well - so a big Woo Hoo and we are away.
How many of Landwaster Veterans can we coax in
Cheers

Dave, it would be great if you posted a list of the most prolific Landwaster participants over the past twenty years?

Will do - I will try and put together the Landwaster Fun Facts this evening BTW - possibly past the 10 mark for entries now. I need to send out a call to the ACT players to rally round to protect the silverware. cheers

Wow....10 in a matter of days. Just shows the 'pent up' demand! I'll look forward to the fun facts.

So here we are - a week in from the Landwaster announcement and we have 11 entries so far. As Mark BB says - pent up demand. Currently the entry list leans heavily towards the Sydney cohort. I will have to rally the Canberra crew to come forward and defend the silverware.
This is the twentieth Landwaster tournament - who would have thought we would be still going this long back in our younger days. Over that time 111 players have competed with three of them played in 15 of the events. That includes Fanaticus' own MarkBB and Gregorius who will both overtake the third one unless he resurfaces this time. Gregorius with 13 in a row holds the continuous attendance record by a long chalk.
There have been 13 players who have lifted the Landwaster Trophy above their head. Our fellow Fanatici Chaotic has won 3 times - will this be his fourth? At this point in time 2 of the former champions (MarkBB and Chaotic) have entered. I am hoping to coax a few more to join in.
At its peak we had 34 entries in a single event (twice in fact)
Cheers
