PLAYER BRIEFING – NATCON 09 – Flames Of War There are three periods on offer: Mid War Early War Late War Each era will be run as a separate competition. Each era must have at least ten entries in order for it to take place. If an era is cancelled due to lack of entries on 1 March, all people entered in that competition will be given the option of reallocation to a different era. Or transfer to another genre, or a refund of entry. Each competition will consist of eight rounds, usually with a time limit of 2.30 hours for each game. If you are in a match where one of the nominated “rules adjudicators” is your opponent or a person who is assisting in running another competition, the match time will be extended by 15 minutes. The Scenarios have been placed so that those that do not use the Fairfight rule may continue after the usual time so that a result may be obtained. Entry limits are as per the front page of the website. Any questions can be e-mailed to the list receiver: geoff.hills@gmail.com
