Painting and Modeling

All models should have a minimum of three colors and 28mm scale.

Army List:

Players are asked to bring TWO army lists (of the same type/nationality). - One generic standard platoon (750 points)

• One generic tank platoon (750 points)

• There is no order dice limit and no platoon limit. (Remember, high order dice lists = less turns played).

• Generic Tank and Platoon Selectors only, no Theatres will be used.

• Platoons must be of the same type. The minimum platoon requirement must be taken for each platoon.

• Named Tank Aces or Characters are not allowed.
• All current Bolt Action books (except Korea and Tough Gut) and Official Warlord PDFs are valid.
• A copy of your list must be available for your opponent to access throughout the game.
• Use the following spreadsheet to determine if a unit is allowable in a generic selector or not: Bolt Action - Google Drive

Hint: use Column F to determine if something is allowed in a generic selector or not.

Note this is a community made list, not an official Warlord list, so there could be human error, but provides a good guide.

Not sure? Check with the TO.

Match-Ups:

Teams will be random paired (this pairing will remain throughout the entire tournament).

Round One match-ups will be random opponent.

From the second round, players will be paired using a Swiss system (i.e. matching players on the same amount of tournament points in descending order)

In case of more than two players with the same number of tournament points, army points will be used as tiebreakers.

When two players are matched to play again or play on the same table, the Tournament Organizer may use their discretion to reassign a match or table. This does not apply to the top table in the last round.

Order Die:

Each player will have their own unique color of order dice. Thus 4 sets will be in the bag.

Game Play:

First Round

• Both players on the team must decide if they wish to play their Tank or Platoon list, the other team member will play the other type of list.

Example – Bob and Phil are playing as a team. Bob elects to take his Tank Platoon, Phil must play his Standard Platoon list.

Second Round

• Team members will swap roles and use their other list.

Example – Bob will play his Standard Platoon and Phil will play his Tank Platoon.

Third Round

• Each team will be able to select which player wishes to play either list for the final round, the other player takes the other type of list.

Example – Bob elects to play his Tank Platoon for the final round. Phil plays his Standard Platoon List.

Scoring:

Points will be awarded on the following basis:

• 2 tournament point for a win
• 1 tournament points for a draw
• 0 tournament points for a loss
• Players should also keep track of how many enemy dice they destroy in the game. These results will be recorded as Army Points and used in tiebreakers.

Winning the Tournament:

The player with the most tournament points at the end of 3 rounds will be declared the winner.

In the case of a tie, the player with the most army points will be declared the winner.

In the case of tie in both tournament points and army points, the players will both be declared the winner and share the prize.

Scenarios:

• Keep a count of how many turns have elapsed as the game is played. At the end of turn 6, roll a d6. On a result of 1, 2, or 3, the game ends. On the result of 4, 5, or 6, the game continues for one more turn.
• If the scenario calls for a preparatory bombardment or d6 objective markers, the Tournament Organizer will make the roll. That roll will apply to all tables.
• Objectives are considered held if you have any unit within 3 inches of the objective. They are contested if any enemy unit is within 3 inches of the objective. You must remain on the objective in order to hold the objective.
• Scenarios are TBA
• Players utilizing their Tank Platoon list will be allowed to count their tanks and armored cars as scoring units as well per Tank Wars rules. The other teammate will use the standard scoring rules for their army. i.e. Tanks and Armored Cars can only contest an objective.
