Side Duels are GO!

G'day All,

Millsy the Duels Wallah here with a Side Duels update you lucky challengers.

Things have quietened down on the handbags side of things apparently with no new challenges issued for a little while now. That being the case I'm setting the starting point for Challenge XIII Side Duels as follows at the bottom. If you'd like to be added to a Side Duel or start a new one by all means please leave a comment.


Submitting a Side Duel Update

We live in an amazing time, a time of constant digital evolution. Every day something new and exciting happens and today is no different! Despite what my kids think, the interwebs are good for things other than 2 minute videos, feline-themed subreddits and memes. To prove that I've created an online form to rival the complexity and power of Miles' Challenge Roster Spreadsheet o' Doom.

From today you can submit your Side Duel updates ONLINE! The form collects all the relevant data and ensures I can never miss a submission. Huzzah!

And now, the Side Duels...

  3. A question for the SPQR challenge - do Byzantines count as Late Imperial Romans? Asking for a friend

    1. Trust Miles' "friend" to make things difficult. Before I commit to anything define "Byzantines", Late Eastern Roman Empire, Justinian or Crusades era?

    2. Well, it could be "all of the above" I need to "add" to my 100 base 10mm Byzantine collection which spans the whole period but would be ever so happy to confine this years work to the Eastern Roman Empire up through Justinian. Look at me being all reasonable like.

  4. Yet another question - can we start a terrain side duel - who can make the most points in terrain submissions? Please, Please, Please....

    3. Prof Douglas, it's not whining when one gets their way, that's called negotiating!

    2. I hope so. That's the whole point of this exercise. It's even in the name!

    3. You "gentlemen" are very mean to jest about abusing my poor little spreadsheet. The poor thing is still in therapy after Ray's degradations. Why cant you monsters just let the poor soul calculate in peace?
