05-07/13:54 Draganov: @All, I will take a break from playing tafl after finishing my ongoing games. I want to focus on some personal things and my project regarding the Hnefatafl tips and strategy as well as commenting the games of the world Hnefatafl champions. I will be here and will look how the other players are doing but I will not be actively playing.

05-06/15:50 Hagbard: A reason for white's troubles in the version with guards, was that white had to convert some normal, armed men to be unarmed guards.
A reason that the version without guards is more balanced, is that these men are now armed.

05-06/13:11 masterluke: @dragonov: regarding the 'Martens' variants: on the contrary, they were quite extensively tested as Hagbard states below and they turned out to be very balanced. But in the progress of simplifying the game I left out the commanders and V-man and this resulted in the current Tyr variants.
On the other hand, why shouldn't these variants exist alongside Tyr and all the other games? Maybe we should rename them, leaving out my name? 'Odin'??

05-06/09:28 Hagbard: Plan for Formula One test:
The 5 tournaments added:
729 Sahkku
735 Daldos16
740 Daldos14
743 Daldos12
751 Sahkku
This is also what I'd propose for the World Championship tournament.
Sahkku twice, because it's the most complex of the variants.

Personally I've wondered about the Daldos12 game.
I think that I've had a fair chance in the other race variants, but I have problems with Daldos12.
Perhaps one reason is:
The small 12-board is unforgiving the same way the small tafl boards are. So that it's necessary to play extremely accurately all the time with absolutely no mistakes.
However, it's obviously not randomness which makes the 12-board difficult, because the good players win.

In my opinion, the Formula One points system has worked very well so far!
