Basic Rules and Regulations
Round One will always try to be 'Red on Blue', however subsequent rounds shall be determined
using the Swiss system. Steps will be taken to preserve the 'Red on Blue' format, but this will
not always be possible.
Should the game come close to the finishing time, players should also try to allow each
player a final turn before concluding, unless the outcome is a foregone conclusion.
All players should treat one another with respect and understanding.

Component Checklist
Your Flames of War Army
Your army book; including any ‘Lessons from the Front’ if applicable from the
articles published by Battlefront. The most up to date version of each army book will
be used.
A copy of the 4th Edition of the Flames of War 1939-41 and 1944-45 Rulebook and a
copy of the ‘Special Rules and Warriors’ book OR A copy of the Flames Of War
1942-1943 Mid-War Rulebook. Our judge(s) will have copies of these rulebooks for
use in settling any rules disputes but to keep things moving it’ll be helpful if players
bring their own copy for reference rather than relying on the judge(s).
Two clearly written or typed copies your army lists (One copy for you and one for the
T.O.)
It is advisable to utilize http://forcesofwar.com to prepare your army list if playing
Late War.
Measuring tape, dice, templates, Unit Cards, calculator, pencils and any markers that
you’ll need to play.
A tray to carry your army between tables.
All models must be painted. Army Selection (Late War)
No more than 1650 points may be spent on the army.
When selecting your army please choose from the following books:

Red Bear Grey Wolf
Bridge at Remagen Nachtjäger

Army Selection (Mid War)
No more than 100 points may be spent on the army.
When selecting your army please choose from the following books:
Desert Rats Afrika Korps
Mission Selection
Each round will have a mission randomly selected by a player at random from the list below.
If a previously played mission is generated a second time, the player should roll again, until a
new mission is selected.
MISSION LIST:
1 Breakthrough
2 Free for All
3 Dust Up
4 Encounter
5 Counterattack
6 Hasty Attack
Scoring
All games will be scored using the victory points rule as laid out on page:
• 93 of the Late-War 1939-41 and 1944-45 Rulebook
• 101 of the Mid-War 1942-1943 Rulebook
If a game runs over the allotted time, the game will be called an immediate draw if there is no
clear winner as per the 'Determining the Winner' rule for each mission.
If two players are tied for top-spot after four rounds, their 'points conceded' will be used to
determine a winner. If they are still tied, it will go to their opponent's points won.
Scoring will be kept by the T.O., but will be made visible to all players by the means of a
whiteboard on the T.O.'s table.
Best Painted Army Competition
A painting competition will also be judged during the mid-tournament lunch break to
determine the best painted army. There are a few rules that apply to this competition:
• As this is a Battlefront Miniatures sponsored event, all entered models must be
produced by Battlefront.
• The army must have been painted by yourself.
• Judging will be run on a ‘blind’ basis, and external judges will award scores without
bias.
