Side Duels Update

G'day All!

It's great to be back! Huzzah! As Wallah of All Things Duel I am raring to go once again. The Indifference Engine has been oiled, my impartiality polished and my abacus thoroughly shaken.

I've completed my first trawl through inbound emails and post comments to compile the following list of open side duels and their participants. I'd ask all those intending to engage in one or more side duels to review and make comment where I might have missed something. For a few people I am also not 100% certain of your Challenge handle so would appreciate clarification.

Here goes, last updated 16/12 after comments and feedback...

  5. Hopefully no-one gets too carried away and we can all enjoy this for the good natured tomfoolery it is...

    Or we can all try to drown our rivals in a tide of painted minis unleashed without pity or remorse. Whichever works I guess.

  6. Looking forward to seeing the side duels unfold from the sidelines.

    I never threw my hat in the ring (I'm not that mad, despite what it says above) so either a small mix up with entrants or RayR has nobbled me by putting my name forward??? Do I look like a squirrel type of guy 😆🤣

    1. i think someone has mistakenly told Millsy that MrLee is you, when it's actually KyleC.

  8. Thanks for taking this on Millsy, it's very much appreciated! Just to be clear, I'm not in the Squirrel or Skullz duels. Like a wag, I commented on them, but I did not throw in my gauntlet to get properly skewered. The other four (!) are good though. :)

    2. Yup, you've always been BenitoV. Is this a new alias?
