Anyone recieved there mini-overveiws yet?

With the due date being the 22nd, looks like time is going to be tight already.

I just got 4 arenas and all they had in them was the tourney announcement. Not sure my minis will get here in time at this rate.

Won't be sending many, as I'm currently not employed. Mostly some dead guys.

Just finalized my roster. 52 living and 9 dead. Looking to be a decent tourney, as I have 11 of the 61 predicted out at 7-3 or better. Spose we'll see.

Final numbers are set. 21 living 3 dead. Looks to be as crappy as my last tourney as most are predicted to go 1-3. Why do I always have to experience something first hand rather then listen to someone elses advice? Confused

Isn't that an imperative of a Wretch? Wink

55ish for us; top end "beefed up".

Sending 47 live and 4 dead, here. Half will be rookies and apprentices, as I had no existing tournament pipeline to speak of. Still, my love for the arena game will hurt me, I'm sure, as 13 of my 47 live warriors are regular arena guys running for the xp and who will almost certainly do 2-3 or worse. My top hopes are rookies, adepts, my lone adm entry, and a dead challenger whom Manager once picked as a dark horse for dead champs champion last time I played.

I have the great fortune of having my two active teams stationed in the no-tourney arena 81 and the all-basher arena 20. At least my bashers will get some experience. I'll probably dig up a couple guys from inactive teams just to be competitive, but it looks like it will be 8 or less for this next tourney.

Active mini's arrived today, did not recieve one from my stomping grounds team though. Sending in 10 live 3 dead so far, may add a few more just for kicks. I don't expect much unless a rookie surprises me, wish I could get a certian dead warrior back though, that would be neat.

Sending 39 total, nine more than I originally planned. 29 Living and 10 Dead. Two fo the dead are actually Purple Sages old warriors from an old team we shared. I figure if I can get one of them back from the dead, I might be able to get him playing again when he returns from Iraq in December.

The extra 9 are spread accross Freshman, ADM, Eligibles and Contenders. I really have no great expectations for them. I am hoping for 50% total W/L in ADM classes, which would be a huge improvement over the 30% I was getting when I retired them over a year ago.

Overall I am raising my expectations slightly this time. Hoping for 2 regular TV's and 1 TV in dead tourney and a 55% total W/L.

Finally I had one warrior drop back into Freshman from ADM class. He has 152 skills, with no stat raises and hasn't fought since he got pushed up into ADM class a year or two ago. Everyone else stayed the same or moved up as planned due to learns or trains.

Looks like my tournament crew is set. I'm sending 61 total, 57 living warriors and 4 dead ones. The living are broken down as: 3 Eligible, 3 ADM, 3 Freshmen, 6 Challengers, 6 Champs, 6 Adepts, 5 Inits, 10 Apprentices, and 15 Rookies.

I have no clue what my chances are. There are a few too many sentimental entries and a lot of style diversity. I'd be thrilled with a TC, happy with 9 TVs, and satisfied with 6.

Is that your Arena Of The Red Sands Team?

Anyone know if the tourney has printed and/or sent yet? I was thinking Thursday was the earliest possible send date...
