Paul Cummins should beat his present ranking, although he has had a bad run lately.
The War Doctor also has the potential to place, if not solidly hit the top 5.
Sam Street will certainly challenge too.
Nik, dangerous too, especially without Alasdair in the running.
And let us not forget the threat of our continual continental cousins.

Mostly Paul has had terrible dice - and that's bound to turn around at some point. I've mostly had a run of terrible decision making and that may be less likely to turn around spontaneously. Thank goodness that, as Nik said, I've made a Powerplayer oddball choice of army!

Well one good thing no one playing MEG at Britcon will go hungry as Hunter is producing a lot of total mince.

You are forgetting something. Your calculations are based on UK tournaments. Just remember, we do not play regularly in UK 

I might still end last so as to receive a beer in compensation

I'm anticipating mid-table mediocrity.

Hunter will place in the top 5 or 6.

Nik, the modesty of players on this forum is stunning.

[nikgaukroger]

I think I'm being realistic given the R&R.

OK.  Looking at the players and the armies, here's my predictions.

Top 5

1.   Jason Broomer
2.   John   Munro
3.   Laurence Donohoe
4.   Gilles   Wielgosz
5 = Hunter Hope
5 = Nik Gaukroger

Dark Horse:  Stephen Stead

My analysis is attached if you're interested.

To quote "When Harry Met Sally." I will have what you are having!!

Mostly Paul has had terrible dice

Mostly Paul has failed to have a plan to mitigate terrible dice, apart from 'use a big army'

that and some stunning dice from my opponents at key times (7 skulls from 8 dice on evens will put a crimp in your swagger)

Love the comments!

I would like to see Stephen Stead win, mainly so he'll get tired of that Frisian monstrosity he runs and I won't have to face it anymore. It's very unpleasant.

Actually the Frisian/ Feudal German Army is ok but it is so boring to play. This coming from someone who is playing Feudal German with Frisian allies combo at Britcon. I really wanted switch but had not played other eligible armies enough.
The pain starts on Friday at 6 p.m.

[mad lemmey]

Yeah, for other people... 😈

If I can remind you of my analysis - "Feudal German - solid, competitive and a bit dull  "
