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:

Period	Point Total
Early-war	1550 points
Mid-war	1485 points
Late-war	1650 points

2000 pt Tourney - "Nuts"

Ok Guys and Gals,

As previously advertised we're going to hold a 2000 pt "in house" LW tourney starting 15 Jan 13 and ending 12 Apr just before our MW tournament - "Paths of Glory 13". Here are the details:

a. Concept: 3 x rounds of play. Each round of play (RoP) is stretched over an approximately 30 day period. Matched opponents will schedule their own game based around their personal schedules;

b. Time limit per game: none.  Game ends when a knock out blow occurs to your opponent in accordance with the victory conditions stated for the scenario;

c. Registration: signup sheet is now available at the shop (see Gary). All players must be signed up no later than 14 Jan. Players will not be accepted after that date. $10 registration fee to cover the cost of prizes. Should a player drop out of the competition at any time for any reason their $10 registration will be forfeited;

d. Scenarios: scenarios will be determined by die roll the day prior to the next round of play. There will be one selected form each of the 3 major categories. 1st RoP: Mobile Battle (15 Jan to 15 Feb) / 2nd RoP: Defensive Battle (16 Feb to 15 Mar)/ 3rd RoP Fair Fight: (16 Mar to 12 Apr). All battles will be conducted on the same table and terrain for each RoP. Terrain will be altered for each RoP. Note that we have designated a table that will be strictly reserved. When scheduling your game with your opponent ensure you reserve the table;

e. Prizes: TBD based on the number who register and the amount of registration money collected;

f. Scoring: Battlefront Tournament software will be used based on the following formula: 80% generalship / 10% sportsmanship / 10% army presentation. Scores from the tournament will not be used as a regional qualifier and therefore not registered with Ranking HQ.  Results of the tournament will be announced on 14 Apr 13 as part of our Paths of Glory activities;

g. Army: Any approved V3 list will be accepted. There will be a dress parade (date and time TBA). No changes can be made to your army once the tournament commences.

Good Hunting !!!!
