Would you be interested in participating in a tournament where you don't bring troops because the armies are supplied by the organizers? |

No. When I played, I liked to bring my own stuff. |

That is a good idea. Avoids max/min pre-game calculations. It would make players deal with the "situation". Problem is, who would lend troops to potentially clumsy players?? |

Not much of a tournament player. But I've run one like that. It was more of a campaign. There were a number of forces with different objectives, previous battles influenced the next round's set up, and players rotate amoung the different armies. |

If your the type of person that likes "the luck of the draw", then yes. I would think, the battles would be closer. Maybe even historical! Crazy talk I know. |

I played in a DBA tourney and used one of the loaner armies they had. I wouldn't have played without it. |

While I very, very rarely do tournaments I would certainly be more likely to if the armies were supplied |

I'm more interested in Tournaments like that. Of course I have zero interest in the standard tournament. |

Yes … and yes, they exist and 'yes' – yes, they work. 3 or 4 of these have been running in the UK for a decade or more and are enduringly popular. Unfortunately it is thought logistically difficult for some of the bigger events (just managing the 'army pool' … ) … Although there are still some 'old' thinkers, the randomised formats that are usual in such events tend to weigh against the 'uber' army and the over playing players … making for a friendlier playing style (if UK tournaments could get any friendlier, of course)., Phil |

I play in Convention events that supply the minis….while I don;t play in tournaments, I think I would play in one if the armies were provided.  |

And who is going to pay for and construct thirty or forty armies that might be needed to do this? |

When I run DBA events, I always have a pool of loaner armies for new players or those who don't have an army of their own for the historical theme of the event. |

The only tournament I was in provided the figures. But it would not make me more likely to be in a tournament. No interest in them. |
