RULES AND REGULATIONS
All armies must be fully painted. Any miniatures not fully painted will be pulled from the table prior to starting the tournament. Fully painted is defined as the model being painted in a non-black/gray/white primer colour, and a base coat has been applied to all visible parts of the model (vehicle hull, uniform, exposed skin, tracks and wheels, etc.) Models that are normally based (i.e. infantry and gun teams) must be based with grit/flock or other material. Players should make sure their armies are checked before play starts. No proxy models are allowed (proxy is defined as a model standing in for another model i.e. a Panzer IV standing in for a Tiger, or an early Panther standing in for a late Panther). Exceptions are given for command card units, but players must have the relevant command card. Any proxy models will be removed and will affect gameplay (i.e., a two-model unit that has a proxy removed will have to take last stand checks). 3D printed models are allowed but must be indicated to the TO. Armies with 3D printed models cannot place overall, 2nd, 3rd, or win best painted. Players should make sure armies are properly constructed by the time the tournament starts. If players have any questions about their model they should contact [email protected] before March 1st.
Rounds will be determined by Swiss system, come ready to play all armies. Best Coast Pairings will be used for the event. Players should download this app and have it ready to use. Initial pairings will use player origin and store (state, city, store/club) and alliance (Axist/Allies). Subsequent rounds will use wins, victory points, strength of schedule.
We will use the Missions for Flames of War packet where the players and their opponent will choose their stances, find that selection in the matrix and roll a die. The players will then play the mission chosen. Each stance needs to be played at least once during the tournament. Players should download or print the most recent packet.
If there is an odd number of players, that player can choose to take a bye, if so that player gets an 8-1 A ringer is a player who participates to fill in for an odd number of participants but is not eligible to win any category in the event.
Players must bring at least 3 physical copies of their list.
Players should record on the left side of their score sheet the table they play on.
Players are responsible for monitoring the time and the judges will announce time intervals throughout the tournament. A time clock will be provided to track time remaining in the round. A true act of sportsmanship is not starting a new turn if both players will not be able to finish that turn. The game should be called if both players cannot finish their turns and the results should be calculated as a loss according to the Flames of War rulebook.
Slow play is to be actively discouraged, repeated offences may result in loss of points or forfeited matches. If you cannot play a game to completion due to size/compliment or familiarity with your army, you might want to revisit your choice. Most players should be able to complete their turns within 10-15 minutes.
When time is called the game must immediately finish the action with the platoon they are on. New turns cannot be started even if starting a new turn would award an immediate victory or cause a player to make a company morale check. If players do not comply, the score the game will be scored a 1-1 regardless of the actual game score.
Painting Competition: Any players that wish their armies to be considered for the best-painted competition will stage them at the lunch break in the designated area with a nameplate on the display. All models in the army must be from Battlefront Miniatures, armies with proxy or 3D-printed models are disqualified. A display board is not judged but is useful for moving your army. Paint judging will be done by peers.
Unit histories are not necessary.
Army lists must be submitted to [email protected]. You are encouraged to use Forces of War (https://forces.team-yankee.com/) to submit your list.
TOURNAMENT SCORING
Pairing breakdown will be based first on the number of wins, then victory points, then strength of schedule. Strength of schedule is if two or more teams are still tied after wins and victory points, then it will be checked to see if the two teams played each other, the winner of that game will have a higher position
The scoring breakdown at the end of the tournament will be: The number of wins, victory points,
strength of schedule.
Awards: Here is a list of the awards that will be presented:
- Overall Winners

Overall, 2nd and 3rd are based upon gameplay (wins, victory points, strength of schedule).
