Battle Cry 2013 - Change to Army Points

All,

As Tournament organizor I've made the executive decision to revamp the points for the Battle Cry (LW) Tournament on 17 Nov 13  to 1650 from what was previously announced.  This will align us with the Battlefront 2014 tournament season army point system announced by Battlefront last week.  Cheers.

Interesting News from Battlefront:

Hey Guys,

Battlefront has made the announcement with regard to the point system for the '13/14 tournament season (see below).  This will certainly affect the "National Tournament" that we're talking about next summer.  I've also received some feedback from some battle hardened vets from the last Historicon event in Jul this summer.  From what they tell me 1780 points for LW is just  a bit too much for tournament play.  The question is:  should we be reducing the number of points to 1650 for our upcoming tournament in Nov?

We originally set the point total based on what was being done at Historicon.  It looks like now there is some back pedalling going on.

Please feel free to comment.

Tournament Point Totals for 2013-2014 - For the season beginning 8 October 2013 and ending 6 October 2014 the following point levels for each given era will be used for all Battlefront Flames Of War tournaments:
PeriodPoint Total
Early-war1550 points
Mid-war 1485 points
Late-war1650 points
