I challenge #2 Balboathegreat: Atrocitus

Pmd

Sounds good, are we good with aow?

If not AoW are you using grief vs Aows?

Gds Balboathegreat / Atrocitus wins

7 him-6 me



It’s a traditional WW BvB ladder, so standard GM BvB (Grief/Fort) is usually the default. You can use things like eth tooth too.

If both players agree, you can run AoW instead. You can also agree to any variation between yourselves, but that has to be mutual.

If there’s no agreement, it just defaults back to standard BvB.

So for the most part it’s standard vs standard, with AoW as an option if both players want it. Also gives players the option to switch away from Aow if they’d like.
