barca Posted February 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 My suggestion for 4 players: 1) Still hold the tournament (now a "mini-tournament") 2) Keep 3 rounds. 3rd round matchup might not work out by the BF tournament matchup rules, but still, you will not play same opponent twice. 3) Reduce number of Awards to 3:- Best Axis General- Best Allies General- Best Painted Platoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroMoon17 Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Sorry, I'm going to have to back out of this tournament. My wife still hasn't had the baby and its getting too close for me to justify leaving a newborn and my wife for a day, only a week or so after the baby comes.

barca Posted February 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 OK. Priorities are always family first. Perhaps in March or April we can set up a EW game to include your Bersaglieri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barca Posted February 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Although we are currently down to 3 armies, I have a contact in WA indicating that some players from up North may be coming to PDX for this tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barca Posted February 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Reminder: Please send you army list to grognard_FoW@yahoo.com for verification ASAP. By doing so we are able to verify the correctness of your list. I would rather not delay the start time by checking army lists on the day of the tournament. If you are thinking about two different lists, I will check 2 per person, and you can decide on which of the two when you sign in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hanaur Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Kihei Chutai HQ (Regimental Banner) Kihei Platoon (Banners) Kihei Platoon(Banners) Kihei Platoon (Banners) Engineer Platoon (Banners) Field Atillery Battery (Add Observer teams with Limbers) That about covers it right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barca Posted February 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 EdA/Centurious might be joining us. That would make 7 I will plan on being a pinch-hitter, with Soviet Strelkovy if we end up with an odd number of armies on the roster.

Lord Hanaur Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 BOOOM! Endless fun. My Japanese are on the table ready to paint some more. 3 colors is about as far as i expect it to get but we'll work it. Also I have a question thats plaguing me. I cant seem to find rules for adding the small unit of trucks. It's a Divisional Support unit. Can you just TAKE those? Is that why that unit isn't listed anywhere in the army lists? I am kinda confused by it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barca Posted February 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 RE: I cant seem to find rules for adding the small unit of trucks. ANS: Neither did I. Can you just TAKE those? ANS: My "ruling", for the tournament is YES. Later, you can post a message to the BF forum and get back to me with the OFFICIAL answer. Here is my reasoning: 1) not listed in any of the Army/Company lists 2) No rules against it 3) Write up in that unit's section (Transport Platoon, p. 31) seems to indicate that it can be taken with any infantry unit: "The divisions had their own transport pools that could be called on to move the infantry. On occasion the engineer regiments' trucks were also pooled together to help transport the infantry." I will insert a caveat that the implication is 'one platoon per army/company list', although I am stretching here. Rising Sun Divisional Support, p. 31 Transport Platoon (Fearless Trained) 8 Isuzu 1.5-ton trucks @ 30 pts 6 Isuzu 1.5-ton trucks @ 25 pts 4 Isuzu 1.5-ton trucks @ 20 pts "A Transport Platoon follows the rules for Transport Platoons on pages 47 and 48 of the rulebook." Trucks are an also optional upgrade for p. 27, Kihei MG PLT - add 1.5-ton trucks for the platoon (1 per gun section, total of 2) p. 27, Kihei Rapid-fire Gun PLT - add 1.5-ton trucks for the platoon (1 per gun section, total of 2)p. 28, Kihei Motorised Infantry PLT - add 1.5-ton trucks for the platoon (1 per squad, total of 2 or 3) If you want to adjust your list, either send me updated, or bring updated hard copy to tournament Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hanaur Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Yeah that's kind of how I saw it too. It's just an add on Platoon and yeah I dig only allowing one, since it's so unclear in the first place. they basically just act like "floaters", really. It will change the list a bit because I have to actually find those points elsewhere but I did want to have some trucks. As you know: Big fan of trucks.

ZeroMoon17 Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Just keep in mind that a transport platoon does not count for or against company morale or reserve counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hanaur Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Good reminder. I kind of knew that anyways but it never hurts when you're deploying in case you forget, to hear it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hanaur Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Okay I was able to modify. The list is fundamentally unchanged but i did have to give a little up. I'm taking a 6 Truck Platoon with the list so the one i send you will be 30 points short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
