The last one has my vote:  Pursuit of Glory—the Middle East – 2020
We'll need two votes for something else, otherwise, I'm going with that.

					If the name is acceptable: 
 
...and:
    
We can get going soon. I think a start date of August 15? Shall we go with the Eric Bonner Tourney rules? Also, many of the ME scenarios specify extreme assault. I say we go with what the designer specified, or if nothing specified, then no EA.
 
Speaking of scenarios, I found 9 scenarios never played, plus a handful never played and no briefing notes, so a real crapshoot. Only a few mention the timeframe. I think if no one cares and for the sake of simplicity, we should just do a mirror tournament and double elimination. That OK with everyone?

The litter box one is funny and good.  Double elimination is good.  At least it gives me a 50-50 chance of making it to a second game.

				RE: Middle East Tournament 
				
					I've set up a tournament page in the tournaments section:  https://www.theblitz.club/message_boards...#pid438319
Also, added a homepage banner. We'll start August 15. Rules are in the tournament area. Any rule changes you want added or deleted, mention them there. I'll close the date for signing up around August 12. That will give me time to make a bracket and choose the first scenario.
