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. Timing Each round will last 2 hours and 15 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 . Keep track of how many of your opponents casualties you kill (units that surrender, destroyed, capture, etc.) If you remove the order dice, it’s a casualty. At the end of the tournament, If there is a tie , then we use the total casualty points of both players to break the tie.
