Lol, Allies won by a LOT. It was like 160 Allies, 120 French, and 26 German. I can't remember the exact numbers but it was a huge win for the Allies and even a huge second place win for the French, haha. Not sure what happened there.

that's because 10 teams on the GWM walked off the field in protest of lack of safety on Saturday around 1530 hours and never returned Sunday...

Besides the fact that there were only 110 refs for 4300+ players (75 Rostered and 35 "ghosts") making the ratio about 1:41 ...the fact that I continuously saw clusters of 4-6 refs standing around with their thumbs up their bums while all kinds of ethical dilemas were going on in from of them...made 80% of them absolutely uselsess.

Team PennDragon tent...white canvas Civil War tent near Ragnarok's...Anyone catch me there? I'm on the left...

yes...I'm the one in the MARPAT Kilt...

Ouch, 10 teams? Did they make the staff aware of their "protest"? If so then it's likely that Skirmish will make some changes. Otherwise, they just wasted their money.

measures are being taken to address the safety issues witnessed at Normandy.

I might add that at the closing ceremony, a total of 15 teams (of both sides) + 300 individuals - was given to Skirmish with the promise of NEVER stepping foot on their soil again...

The 15 teams are said to have purchased over 1000 cases of paint between them...and that is not including the 300 individuals...THAT'S gonna hurt next year...

Ah, with the loss of that many players (and, of course, the money they would have given to the field) I'm sure they'll do something about it. I sent them the ref idea mentioned on the other page but they haven't responded so I don't know if they're considering it or if they even read it. I guess we'll find out next year.

Nice. The quality is kind of crappy but still makes me want to take a ride in the bus one year, seems like it's pretty chaotic.
