How opponents are chosen In game 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 game 2 onwards, the Swiss tournament system will be used. This means that allies may fight other Allies and the same with Axis. Timing Each round will last 2 hours and 30 minutes. 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 currently in play and then end the game. This will count as the end of the turn for objective purposes There will be a 30-minute break after each game to calculate results. If there is a tie , then we use the total victory points. If after this it is still a draw the players will roll a D6, to determine the winner
The Awards are as Follow: Best Over All General Best Allies General Best Axis General Best Army (Painted)
And lots, and lots, and lots of Great Prizes to include Award Plaques
