Tourney at the Tavern (Macclesfield, UK)

[MrTPenguin]

Macclesfield is a town in England to the south of Manchester. I found the following worms tournament advertised!

There's no date, but I'm guessing it's either finished or didn't happen. Does anyone know anything about it? It is - or would be - a great event for wormers in the northwest of England.

PS. Interesting to see that their scheme features unlimited baseball bats.

Likely didn't happen, through no failings of the tournament organizers - that looks awesome.  Sad part is, no one cares much about worms.

I love that they even posted the scheme.

EDIT:  Their twitter account shows it was scheduled for this past march/April, so our best hopes for a worms lan tourney still lies with colon and wormscon.

Good detective work, Walrus! Sad that they couldn't make up the numbers.

WAIT, DIDN'T WORMS ARMAGEDDON COME OUT IN 1999? WILL IT EVEN WORK WITH MODERN COMPUTERS...?!
Amazingly, it works just fine. Team 17, the games studio who developed it, are still going strong 20 years later - They've had a handful of their developers constantly tinkering with Armageddon over the last decade and a half to keep it up-to-date so it functions perfectly using modern operating systems and higher screen resolutions.

Shame, Macclesfield isn't that far away from me!

Over two hours on the train for me

Crossbow?? ??

[MrTPenguin]

Looks like a knock-on effect of mistakes there; Battle Axe became Long Axe, then when he started typing Longbow, he thought, Hang on, there's already a "Long" wep in the list, so it must be something else, thus Crossbow.

(Maybe we'll get a crossbow in Worms Unlimited!)
