We recommend you build your list on WG.Easy Army.Com (then click on the BoltAction Tab) or use the Warlord Army list App . If the list is too cheesy, exploitive, or unsporting you may be asked to submitt A new list . Lists need to be submitted by 11 Feb 2024 to me at: sgted_2000@yahoo.com Additional Rules: * We will use the rule allowing snipers , spotters, and observers to set up on your half side of the board after both sides are deployed. See rule book Vers#2 (page 133) . Only veteran Panzer IV Ausf G, H, J receive the Tiger Fear special rule ( of course Tiger, King Tiger, etc have the Tiger Fear Rule as covered in the Erratta.) The opponent has to be within 18” to be affected by the Tiger Fear. Game scoring Win 20 points Draw 10 points Loss 5 . How opponents are chosen In Round 1, the players will play the opposite faction (Axis/Allies) where possible. We will also endeavour to match you up with an opponent that is not from your area/club. If you have a grudge match that you want to play, please request and will try to accommodate if your opponent agrees. From Round 2 onwards, the Swiss tournament system will be used. This means that allies may fight other Allies and the same with Axis. 15 minutes will be given at the start of the round to allow time to set up, discuss the board/terrain and review Scenario. A 30-minute and 15-minute warning to the end of the game will be given. At the end, when time is called, you must finish the order dice currently in play and then end the game. This will count as the end of the turn for objective purposes. There will be a 15 minute break after each game to calculate results. If there is a tie , we will add up total order dice received (from destroying,capturing,fleeing, units) and if there is still a tie the players will roll a D6, to determine the winner. The Awards are as Follow: 1st Best Over All General and 2nd and 3rd . Best Army (Painted) And lots, and lots, and lots of Great Prizes to include Award Plaques. We please encourage you to bring terrain. .Award will be given to best Looking Terrain Table. Please let me know if you can bring a table.
