For some this was their first experiences of Impetus over Basic Impetus. Due to the numbers and range of armies, the first game was based on the close historical matches with the subsequent two games being based on the SWISS system where the highest scores of the first game play each other in the next round and so on until all players are matched.
Here are some pictures of the day's action throughout the three rounds that were played:
 |
| Beautifully painted figures of the Sui Chinese |
 |
| Even the ghostly hand couldn't save the Vikings on this day |
 |
| Opportunity trap sprung! |
 |
| It got bloody in this one with both sides routing |
 |
| What to do next? |
 |
| Getting in there before the shield wall was raised |
 |
| More fantastically painted Sui Chinese |
As with all tournaments and games there has to be winners and losers and The Gathering was no different with some very hard fought games occurring throughout the day. Here are the matches for each round with the final scores for all players shown at the end.

Thanks for posting. I like the way you organized the rounds, I think enough of it to copy it!
Thanks for the comments, it was a good day and there wasn't too much grumbling afterwards on uber armies and the luck of the dice...
