Submitting Lists

All tournament players must submit their 1500-point forces by 18 October so our tournament directors can check them. Please email your force composition to [email protected] no later than 18 October. Our directors may ask you to make some revisions if an error is encountered, which must be done as soon as possible. We will be in touch and confirm your list’s submission.

Late War Tournament Information

There are essentially three Late War tournaments on offer. To save on table space and to guarantee opponents for everyone, we will be running these events together. This means they will share draws, missions, tables, and opponents. However, each tournament will be scored separately and ranked from only those registered for that particular event.

It is therefore imperative that when registering for one of these, you need to be very clear which one you are signing up for.

Late War GT

The first is the big Late War Grand Tournament. This will last both days, with six total games.
This tournament will be ranked including only those players registered for the Late War Grand Tournament.

Saturday Late War

The second is a basic three-game Late War tournament, played on Saturday.
This tournament will be ranked including only those players registered for the Saturday Late War Tournament.

Sunday Late War

The third is a basic three-game Late War tournament, played on Sunday.
This tournament will be ranked including only those players registered for the Sunday Late War Tournament.

Painting & Modelling

If you are a new recruit and would like to find out more about painting and modelling, stop by our painting and modelling demonstration table and learn some painting and modelling tips to help your force get into action.

For veteran painters, we will be running the annual Iron Cross Painting competition. So, bring your favourite pieces along to show off and enter them in the competition.

The Arcade

Arcade games are small Flames Of War-related games set on a small or normal-sized gaming table. Players attempt to win a specific scenario and are scored during the game. Staff will be refereeing these games. Player’s scores will be recorded on a master scoreboard. For each game, the player with the highest scores at the end of the day will receive a prize.
