Overview

On Feburary 13th and 14th, 2010 Pet Shop Comics (PSC), BF USA, and Paper Terrain will host a 1750 point Flames for War tournament.

This will be a two day 5 round event and will focus on an East Front "Stalingrad" Theme.

We can accomidate 50 players in our events.

1) Format - This is a 1750pts East Front Themed Tournament. Forces used must be representative of those that fought on the East Front from January 1942 to December 1943 anywhere from the Baltic to the Black Sea. Though we are especially interested in the Stalingrad portion of this period.

2) Schedule - There will be 3 Rounds on Saturday (13FEB10) and 2 Rounds on Sunday (14FEB10).

3) Cost - The entry cost for this event is $25. Of that $10 will go into awards and the other $15 will go into the food that is available on both days including Bacon& Biscuit breakfast on both days and the grilling that Rick, PSC owner, does on both days including his world famous Pork Loin sandwiches. Nobody goes hungry at these events. Canned drinks are available separately ($0.60) and you can bring your own as well in a cooler. Coffee is free.

4) Missions - To be determined. We will try do something special in the first round that you normally would not get in a tournament.

5) Terrain - We need help here. PSC has built up a great selection of terrain in the last year, but much of it is West Front focused. I'd rather not be using Bocage boards for East Front Battles. Accordingly we will ask players to help field appropriate East Front type boards. Basic Woods, Marsh/Swamp, villages, and rough roads would be the predominate terrain types. I expect that we will also have at least three or four city boards. I also expect to have at least two Snow boards. We will include a terrain award as normal and I'd like to get a rough idea on how many East Front boards players can set up a table (or more) for Wolfkrieg-10.

6) Match-Ups - Considering bidding for 1st round opponets with funds raised going to the Sportsmanship Award

7) List and History Submission - To be determined but expect these to be due in no later end of Januray 31st, 2010.

9) Scoring - Players will be ranked ordered for awards based off of VPs. Sportsmanship, Army Painting, Unit Histories will have separate awards and will otherwise only be used as tie-breakers in the event of ties in VPs.
