Tournament Rules:

Army Composition:

Each player will select a Mid War army at 100 points, conforming to standard Flames of War army composition rules. Every player's army must be fully painted though historical accuracy is not necessary within colour schemes. Miniatures however must be WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) i.e., each model should be constructed to accurately depict the type of vehicle, infantry or field gun that it is intended to represent on the battlefield and no proxying is permitted with armaments etc.
30 VEHICLE CAP IS IN PLACE. Inclusive of half tracks, unarmoured trucks and tanks alike. No army list may have more than 30 vehicles included overall.
Mid War Monsters are not permitted.
Dynamic Points:
We will be using the dynamic points system published by Battlefront through their Forces app. For more information on Forces head to:
https://forces.flamesofwar.com/
Please note that due to our position as a high street retail store, we do not permit the German swastika to be displayed on any models or accessories. We appreciate that Flames of War is a World War II strategy game, but we hope our players understand the controversial and offensive nature of the symbol regardless of historical accuracy. Please ensure if your models have any swastika emblems these are covered in some way. We will insist they are removed from play if this is not followed. The Finnish reverse is permitted.

Tournament:

The tournament will be simple matched-play meaning there is no narrative aspect and thus it is possible to play against the same nation as yourself.

There will be three rounds over the day of swiss-style pairings. The first round will be drawn randomly and thereafter players will be paired by score.

Missions:
Missions will be rolled for once both players have declared their stance as either Attack, Defend or Manoeuvre. This should be declared simultaneously. The tournament will use the latest extended missions pack available from Battlefront Miniatures, up to two weeks prior to the event (i.e if Battlefront release a new missions pack 7 days before the event, this will not be used.)

Scoring:

The primary scoring tally will be games won, followed by total victory points, followed by NET victory points.

Sportsmanship:

We expect all players to generally behave in a sporting manner. Pre-measuring is allowed in Flames of War and thus we advise communication as you go along is key to avoid disagreements – e.g. “are you happy that this is hull down?” when positioning in the movement phase is better than “I intended that to be hull down” in the opposition's shooting phase. Unseemly gamesmanship and outright cheating will of course not be tolerated.

Awards:

There will be awards for the following:
Tournament Winner
Second Place
Third Place
Best Painted Army
