Located on the Forums under Rules Questions. Lessons from the Front… Phil's experimental rule for remote controlled demolition carriers is in effect.

Ostfront
Afrika
North Africa
East Front
Any army list available on the Flames of War website listed under Official 1942-43.

• All armies must be fully painted. Any miniatures not fully painted will be pulled from the table prior to starting the tournament.

• Rounds will be determined by game play results and each player will be seeded with an opponent of his caliber.

• We will also attempt to match up Axis vs. Allies whenever possible but do not expect every game to work out historically.

• Battlefront software will not be used. Overall prizes will be based on VP with a bonus of +2 per win. Soft scores will be used as a tie breaker for ties in VP. Separate prizes will be given for Painting, Unit History and Sportmanship.

So this is considered a Qualifier, but does not use the Battlefront scoring program or guidelines?

Chris

You'll have to contact Mr. Leland the Tournament Organiser on that one. This is the data he gave us for our website back in December.

I guess I better tell Ed I opened this thread.

@ Chris,

There's no requirement to use the Battlefront software to be a qualifier.

Ed

Ahhh,

So you can now qualify anyway you want? That was mighty nice of the BF folks.

Used to be part of the official tournament and qualifier package. Oh well, live and learn.

Thanks,

chris

UPDATE!!!
