Gentlemen,

Smack talk and handicapping may now begin.

“Twenty quatludes on the newcomer!â€

I am sorry to have to inform everyone but this tournament is going to be an AoC sweep. BG Killeen and I are going to finish 1st and 2nd but not necessarily by rank. The AoC is simply the best, just ask the ANV (who is currently being crushed in our small doubles tournament}. It will be an honor to prove the superiority of the AoC once again.

Colonel Shaw,
Doug,

Good afternoon, Sir! A pleasure to make your acquaintance! <salute>

I think you have a brilliant battle plan except that there is a Major Flaw in your logic. You see you are facing two Officer's from the Army of the Mississippi in Round One... thus you will NEVER advance to Round Two.

I am very sorry but it appears the random arrangement of the brackets will most certainly lead to your downfall. [:(]

But not to worry... I shall sing a glorious battle song commemorating how those gallant AoC boys charged fearlessly into a wall of shot and lead! [;)]

Gen Hulinsky,

I don't know about the AoC making a sweep, especially seeing as how the AoS is well represented here. However seeing as how one of the AotM officers facing the AoC boys is you I would rate the odds of at least one member of the AoC reaching round 2 very good indeed. [:D]

Just to clarify Gen Hulinsky statement below, despite the drubbing I plan on inflicting against Gen Hulinsky and Col Bonferroni both of the AotM, they will still not be knocked out of the tournament. The first two rounds are just positioning rounds for the final 4. Therefore Gen Hulinsky you still have a chance to advance if you thoroughly defeat your round 2 opponent to make up for the points you lose against me. See you on the field of battle.

General Miller,
Ken,

Good one, Sir! [;)]

I do my best to put on a good scare and then I run as fast as I can... generally away from enemy fire but every once in awhile... in my disorientation and rush... I've overun a Yank battle position or two! [:p]

Colonel Shaw... good point, Sir! And since my other opponent is Drex Ringbloom... I should have no problems gathering up the points I need to advance to the next Round! (After all, he is an AoS boy!) [;)]
