This is a two-day, four round linked-mission tournament representing the invasion of mainland Italy at Salerno in September 1943. American, British and German mid war forces are allowed (see below for details) and this will be exclusively Red vs Blue. Similar to Battlefront Aces campaigns, the mission played for each round will depend on the results of the previous rounds. Allies will be the attacker in the first round. The number of Axis counterattacks will be based on the success of Allied attacks in previous rounds.Signup on BCP https://www.bestcoastpairings.com/event/XXHsw67w9pGJ and $20 at the door cash only. A special bonus in the form of a command card-like ability will be awarded to each player that 1) registers for the event, 2) indicates their faction on Best Coast Pairings within 3 days of the tournament, 3) arrives on time at the event, and 4) models are, at a minimum, primed or painted in one color that is representative of your faction, with bases painted a form of brown or green.
FORCES
- 100 points from select American, British and German mid war forces. See the accompanying pdfs located at https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1XpD2idjkR-leAorR9bDcGPnuPcWGTy64?usp=drive_link for a list of allowed formations and units, new units, and new command cards.
- Each force is limited to two formations. You declare one formation as your core formation.
- You may bring two forces. If you do so you each force must contain the same core formation but the second formation (if you have one) and the support can vary. The composition of the core formation need not be exactly the same in each force but should be similarly close.
- At the beginning of each round after the TO determines the mission and the attacker, the attacker declares the list they are using. Then the defender declares their list.
SPECIAL RULES
Aircraft - Aircraft arrive on a 3+ and may reroll their third attempt to range in.
Spotting for Naval Gun Fire Support - At the beginning of each shooting step a formation HQ team may request Light Cruiser NGF support (if it is part of your force). On a die roll of 4+, they may spot for the NGFS.
