Tournament Philosophy

Spoiler Expand

This tournament is about fun. It should hopefully not become too competitive as that is not the point. Anyone should be able to participate. The two sides should mix new and experieced players, to create teams that are balanced.

Rules

Spoiler Expand

The Blitz Rules of Engagement and only them apply to this tournament.

As for scenario specific Optional Rules, they are set as defined in the scenario description. When given a choice, Optional rules may in that case be decided by the player who plays the first turn of the scenario.

Scenarios Included in the Tournament

Spoiler Expand

Well the initial idea is to cover the full list of scenarios implemented for the mod, as of Forgotten Battles v 1.0 (Lapland War). Most of them are now available to be played with the basic 2.02 install, while some of them will require the v 2.0 of the mod to be enabled.

Playing the scenarios still requiring the Forgotten Battles mod will be optional, I don't want to push the mod on anyone. Plenty to play regardless!

HERE's the scenario list. from the hosted mods subforum.

The tournament is open for all Blitz members who are out from Bootcamp. The tournament is played by two teams; Side A and Side B. New members may join in at any time. Existing team members may take a break or retire as long as they finish the game they've begun.

Disputes

Spoiler Expand

Any disputes that might rise are resolved by the Tournament Host (ie.:me). Rule of thumb for disputes: there shouldn't be any, as this tournament is about fun, not scores and results!
