Tournament Rules:
Army Composition:
Each player will select a Late War army at 100 points, conforming to standard Flames of War army composition rules, taken ONLY from the Fortress Europe book and cards. Every player's army must be fully painted though historical accuracy is not necessary within colour schemes. Miniatures however must be WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) i.e., each model should be constructed to accurately depict the type of vehicle, infantry or field gun that it is intended to represent on the battlefield and no proxying is permitted with armaments etc.
Please note that due to our position as a high street retail store, we do not permit the German swastika to be displayed on any models or accessories. We appreciate that Flames of War is a World War II strategy game, but we hope our players understand the controversial and offensive nature of the symbol regarless of historical accuracy.Please ensure if your models have any swastika emblems these are covered in some way. We will insist they are removed from play if this is not followed. The Finnish reverse is permitted.
Army lists must be submitted to [email protected] by Midnight on Friday the 19th July 2024. Please format the e-mail title as “[YOUR FULL NAME] – [YOUR NATION] – No Borders” Note – Army list submitted on time will be the first tournament tiebreaker!
Tournament:
The tournament will be simple matched-play meaning there is no narrative aspect and thus it is possible to play against the same nation as yourself.
There will be three rounds over the day of swiss-style pairings. The first round will be drawn randomly and thereafter players will be paired by score.
Missions:
Missions will be rolled for once both players have declared their stance as either Attack, Defend or Manoeuvre. The tournament will use the expanded missions pack available at the link below:

Scoring:
Players will be awarded 1 point for a win. Naturally a double loss will garner 0 points per player. “Games Won” will be the first scoring parameter, List submitted on time will be the first tie-breaker, Victory Points as per the Flames of War Rulebook Victory Points table will be used as second tie-breaker, followed by NET units destroyed.
Sportsmanship:
We expect all players to generally behave in a sporting manner. Pre-measuring is allowed in Flames of War and thus we advise communication as you go along is key to avoid disagreements – e.g. “are you happy that this is hull down?” when positioning in the movement phase is better than “I intended that to be hull down” in the opposition's shooting phase. Unseemly gamesmanship and outright cheating will of course not be tolerated.
Awards:
There will be awards for the following:
Tournament Winner
Second Place
Third Place
General Destruction (most units destroyed)*
Best Painted Army
*The “General Destruction” award for most units destroyed will take into account Independent Teams, even though the Victory Point table does not. (There will be a separate entry on the results slip for the addition of any Independent Teams destroyed for the purposes of the General Destruction award).
