Schedule for Saturday 26 May 2018 09:15 Final registration/Player Briefing 09:30 – 11:45 1st Round (9:30-11:45 AM) lunch break 12:45 – 15:00 2nd round (12:45-3:00 PM) break 15:30 – 17:45 3rd round (3:30-5:45 PM) break 18:00 Awards Presentation (6:00 PM) Missions: Missions for the round will be randomly determined by the TO. Command cards are allowed. Battleplans will not be in use. Fog of War cards are NOT allowed. Attacker/Defender Determination will be using the same method that mid-war Nationals is using this year to calculate Attacker Defender (subject to change after Adepticon if needed): Tank Units - 2pts - meaning any unit with Tanks with an Armor Value (not "-") that is not a Transport Unit or have the Spearhead Rule. Mech Units - 1pt - meaning any unit with Transports (Armored, Unarmored,or Horse-drawn), Unarmored Tank Teams (like British Portees), Any Tank Unit with the Spearhead Rule, or Cavalry Infantry/Gun Units - 0pts. - Any Unit made up of only Infantry Teams and Gun Teams. Game Play: Players are responsible for monitoring the time and the judges will announce time intervals throughout the tournament. 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 turn and the results should be calculated. Slow play is to be actively discouraged. When time is called the game must immediately end regardless of the action taking place in the game. 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. TOURNAMENT SCORING (running scenarios still but this is probably the scoring) We will be using a spreadsheet for scoring and here is the breakdown we will use for the Enfilade 2018 tournament. Awards: list of the awards that will be presented Renaissance Award (Overall Winner) Best Allied General (VP) Best Axis General (VP) Best Sport Best Painted Axis Best Painted Allied Renaissance Scoring Breakdown Generalship: 45% Painting: 45% Sportsmanship 10% Draw Match-ups Ranking Victory Points then Wins Best General Scoring Breakdown Generalship: 90% Sportsmanship 10% Draw Match-ups Ranking Victory Points then Wins Sport Scoring Breakdown Will be determined by player vote casts. Painting Scoring Breakdown During the lunch break, each army should be put on the designated table to be reviewed for a painting score and to be photographed. During the course of the tournament each army will be additionally reviewed. Historical accuracy, realistic weathering, realistic paint schemes for desert, etc will be considered. Tiebreakers: In case of a tie all tiebreakers use the following order to determine a winner Generalship Number of wins Strength of schedule Favorite Opponent votes Rock, scissors, paper (Best 2 out of 3)!

Please comment and vote on these, and suggest your own ideas. If anyone wants to get together and chat about these and other ideas in detail please suggest a time and place FoW Event #1: FoW MW v4: The Bantam-Weight Warriors - Light Armor Forces. THEMES: Armored cars, light tanks and motorized. SIZE: Points/size TBD, but maybe between 50 and 75 pts. SCHEDULE: Probably after the “Armoured Fist” releases. FORMAT: This could be a mini-tournament or a special event with prize drawings. DESCRIPTION: No Front armor over 3, no guns with AT greater than 9. Home-brewed scenarios will feature Reconnaissance/Mechanized Cav style missions and objectives. Infantry formations must include at least one platoon of motorized or mechanized infantry. Extra tickets or Victory Points will be awarded for using command cards for scout/armored car/recon builds and added abilities. FoW Event #2: FoW MW v4: Kasserine Pass THEMES: Tanks and Guns, with some infantry. SIZE: Points TBD. SCHEDULE: After ENFILADE FORMAT: Mega Battle. At least two tables. Likely a long, one-day event 4-6 hours. 4 or more generals. DESCRIPTION: No specifics on this yet. All ideas welcome. This could be either casual or competitive. FoW Event #3: FoW MW v4: Pavlov’s House THEMES: Urban combat. Small infantry forces. Eastern front. SIZE: Estimated size is 50 pts or less. Main forces would be Soviet Infantry vs. German infantry in a small section of Stalingrad. Active tabletop area will probably 4’x4’. SCHEDULE: FORMAT: A casual format, for learning and experimenting. DESCRIPTION: A walk through and small battle using the mid-war Eastern Front handbooks (or “Forces books”). This is a casual scenario in which we walk through the new rules and forces that will be featured in Stalingrad battles. Timing would be about 1 month after the release of the Eastern Front books. We expect to create an urban scene of 4 city blocks: 2 large buildings, 2-4 medium sized buildings and 5 or more destroyed buildings. Due to the amount of work/expense, we would look for each participant to bring one large/med building or 2-3 small buildings or 2-3 destroyed buildings, plus their forces. If there is enough interest and commitment, we can have either: • Saturday only: 1-2 sessions • Sunday only: 1 session • Saturday and Sunday: 1 session each day Note: If this event is very popular, we could do a second expanded version, AFTER we build/buy more buildings. This might include the Volga river, boats, Stukas, more buildings, more forces. FoW Event #4: FoW MW v4: Fog-of-War. THEMES: Missions or scenarios that leverage the Fog-of-War Cards. SIZE: Standard SCHEDULE: Anytime. Not tied to any release. FORMAT: Probably a casual format: this event might be more experimental and less competitive. DESCRIPTION: RCDD has avoided this topic as a level of complexity we did not want to tackle until our local players became comfortable with the rules. Now it is time to move out of your comfort zone. No specifics on this yet. All ideas welcome. FoW Event #5: FoW MW v4 Lend-Lease Scenarios. THEMES: Historical or historically-based scenarios. Could also include “what if …?” situations. Walk up, take charge of a borrowed army, immerse yourself in a new challenge, jump into a “living story”. SIZE: Varies. Not just one event, but could be one event per month, in a series. We could later throw together all or the most popular Lend-Lease battles together to be a major event. SCHEDULE: Anytime. Not tied to any release. FORMAT: Probably a casual format and experimental. DESCRIPTION: We could resurrect a previously popular series of battles that provide new and unique challenges that you might never see in a competitive format. See your pet project or favorite movie come to life on the tabletop. FoW Event #6: FoW MW v4: “CASE BLUE - Steel Hussars and Iron Cossacks” THEMES: Big tank battle(s). Eastern front, 1942. SIZE: Estimated size is 100 pts or more. Main forces would be large tank formations on the Eastern Front near Stalingrad. Tabletop area will probably 4’x 8’. SCHEDULE: Several months after the eastern front releases FORMAT: Depends on feedback and commitment. Could be a mega-battle, or a campaign. DESCRIPTION: Needs input and discussion. Our club currently has few Eastern Front Mid-War forces. References: • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Case_Blue • Forczyk, Robert.

Buy "Armoured Fist" book, show your copy of "Desert Rats", then get “Churchill Tanks Deployed” sticker = a free Churchill Tank sprue See this web page - https://flamesofwar.com/hobby.aspx?art_id=6017 Scroll down to "Free Churchill Tank" "Including these older lists in the book was a simple decision for us as it makes life easier for our players, but we also recognise that people have bought Desert Rats and have been using it for the past year. To thank our veterans of the desert when you purchase Armoured Fist just show the retailer your copy of Desert Rats, get our “Churchill Tanks Deployed” sticker added to the inside cover and receive a free Churchill Tank sprue. You now have your first Churchill tank so you can start building your North Irish Horse Churchill Armoured Squadron (or just a platoon)."

RCDD Weekend Specials for Flames of War – ponder and comment In an effort to respond to the requests for “more weekend events”, RCDD is throwing out some ideas and requesting ideas. Note that some special events will not fit into a Tuesday/Thursday night session, when you include setup and tear down time. All events are likely to be at GG, unless otherwise specified. If someone wants to take charge of any event, then they can recruit the gamers to go to a different venue/location. Frequency: Once a month or every 3-5 weeks. Vote for one or two choices: a. Saturday events b. Sunday Events c. Either Saturday or Sunday d. No weekends. I would rather do these events on a Thursday evening e. No weekends. I would rather do these events on a Tuesday evening, at Oregon City Geeks and Games f. No preference. I would show up when these events are scheduled.

Soliciting ideas for Flames of War special events you would like to participate in between June and December of 2018.

"Stuka Hunting" - A combined Wings-of-Glory and Flames-of-War Event When Sat, February 17, 11am – 4pm Where: Guardian Games GMs: Jeffrey, barca Reservation date: SAT, 02/17/2018 Start time: 11 AM End time: 4 PM Casual Friendly Game. No Fee. No prizes. The Portland Couch Pilots will try to intercept German Stukas in the skies over Tunisia. The Stukas that make it past the fighter cover will fly bombing missions on the Flames of War table. Rose City Dukes and Duchesses will fight a Flames of War tank battle, where the Stukas might make their bombing dives on the Allies. Come and see the aerial dogfight and tanks charging across the blazing sands! or Come and Play: Wings-of-Glory, or Flames-of-War How many participants? 6+ Looking for more players? Yes General Area at Guardian Games two tables, ea 4'x8'. One elevated, one at standard height Detailed schedule (as of 15 FEB): 11:00 AM - Setup and mission briefings 12:00 PM (or earlier, if ready) - Start both games 3:30 PM - End games and begin Tear-down 4:00 PM - return tables back to GG We want to have a combined event, bringing together the Portland Couch Pilots and the RCDD Flames of War gamers. We also want to recruit new players to either game system. Veteran pilots should bring their own planes: Hawker Hurricane Mk.I P-40F Warhawk (and British variants: Kittyhawk, Tomahawks) Spitfire Hurricane IID Junkers Ju.87 B–2 Messerschmitt Bf.109 Italian Re-2001 Falco Fiat CR.42 Falco ? Veteran generals should bring their own armies: FoW v4 German Africa Korps US Fighting First British Desert Rats. New pilots/generals just show up and we will loan you models and coach you. ADDITIONAL DETAILS (as of 15 FEB): How many points? Depends on number of FoW generals. Recommended sizes are 78 (ENFILADE list + 2 airplanes), 85 and 100. How many FoW planes can be on the FoW table: Max 2 Stukas per Flames of War turn. If more Stukas get through the Wings-of-Glory fighter cover, then the stuka flights will be staggered over several turns, so that no more than 2 Stukas are on the FoW table in any turn. What happens to the stukas if some are shot down by AA fire on the FoW table? This reduces the pool of stukas that can fly second and third sorties. After leaving the FoW table, will the Stukas fly back across the Wings-of-Glory table? No. They will take a different route back to the Axis airbase. What happens when all the Stukas are shot down? If both WoG and Fow battles are still going, we will cycle through another 1 or 2 stukas at a time until one or both games end. When is this event done? We run out of time (packup starting at 3:30 PM) All axis planes are driven from the Wings-of-Glory table The most recent FoW battle is over and another FoW game will not be started. Both GM's decide that the pool of Stukas has been destroyed.
