4 rounds of TANK ACES?

 

4 rounds of 600 pt armies? played on 4x4 tables?   (600 pt armies waives the minimum 2 plt requirement of most lists, so you only need a minimum of 1 mandatory plt + hq)

 

Lend Lease? public invited? prizes for each round? play as many rounds as you want?

I've heard you were thinking Mid-War for this tournament.  If so, is it any Mid-War or early MW which makes a difference for British & German lists as a true DAK list would not fare well against a sicily/italy British List, vice-versa.

 

Also, what point levels?  Last year, I didn't get to see much of Enfilade due to time spent for tournament. Not complaining or saying its a bad thing, just with so much other gaming going on, was like a kid in a candy store.  Maybe fewer points, shorter round time & more time between rounds?  example: 1200 pts, 1 to 1:15 hr rounds with 1-1/2 lunch, and 1/2 hr between rounds 2-3?

I updated the first post with the era, point level, and awards. It is going to be Mid-War, 1710 points. The tournament will be over before the 7pm start of the third session on Saturday so if you still want to play in other games in the evening you can.

 

For those that sign up early and confirm with me their sign up before the day of tournament. I'll put your name in a special door price drawing for an official Battlefront Tournament Objective.

The Allied lines look thin. Ripe for an Axis offensive. Perhaps we could move the Italians over by just saying they have switched sides?  I mean really ... so many of them surrendered ... in the face of combat ... whose to say that the Allies didn't put a force together of Allied friendly "volunteers"?. Or you could move the Fins ... they did fight the Russians and the Germans (though, only after they made peace with the Russians).

 

Anyways ... looking forward to the weekend.

 

Josef, (worthy opponent) perhaps this weekend you will get your chance to steal back that game I stole from your "Stugs" last year? If we get lucky ... and get to face each other.

Yeah, I'm just glad we found you in time.  Lol.  Close call there.

 

I decided to do Italians because I've done Germans every year and frankly, it's my only other force and they are the Orks of the Flames of War universe.  The paint is terribad, and I'm having to borrow some guns to even pull it off.  Hehehe.  I hope I dont embarrass myself too badly but uh...  No bets on that.

 

Apparently I missed early registration so Ill have to register when I get there.  like always.

 

But if we do play, I will endeavor to acquit myself well.
