Panthers and Tigers and Brumbars! Oh, my! Join LSHM's Dave Bennett in a hard-hitting WWII tournament featuring the popular Flames of War rules. Twenty slots are open and will be filled on a first-come first-served basis.

This is a free-form tournament where players will play out their games throughout the weekend at any time during the convention hours of operation, to conclude no later than 3:00pm on the last day of the convention. Each player is required to play three games. When two players are ready to play a game, they will present themselves in pairs to the referee who will give them a result form. The players will play the game, fill out the results form, and turn it back in to the referee, where the result will be recorded. While there will be no predetermined match-ups, players are encouraged not to play against the same opponent twice. Only historical match-ups will be allowed. There is a four hour time limit for each game.

Points will be awarded according to the point listed for each mission in the FoW rulebook. Note that if the game reaches its time limit without either side taking an objective or failing company morale, then points are awarded as if both players lost. The winner of the tournament will be the player with the highest point total after three games. In the case of a tie, winner will be determined by a drawing.

The miniatures used are not limited to those produced by Battlefront. However, any and all models that represent other than what they actually are must be approved before the tournament begins. For example, a Stug IV can be used to represent a Stug III if the appropriate model is not available. All miniatures must be painted and non-vehicle models must be based.

German forces may be drawn from the Hitler's Fire Brigade or Diving Eagles books. Only mid-war forces are allowed. German FJ may use ground-based forces only. All force compositions must be approved prior to use.

Armies are limited to 1500 points.

Only Free-for-All and Hold-the-Line missions will be allowed. The first mission that anyone will play is Free-for-All. The second and third missions will be determined by the results of the previous mission, as follows: ·If both players in the pair either won or lost their previous game, then the mission is Free-for-All. ·Otherwise, the mission is determined by the player who lost the previous game.

Terrain will be set by the tournament orgainizers and will be changed at random times throughout the convention. Players may select from available tables by consensus or by dicing. Players dice for sides as per scenario rules.

All rules apply as listed in the main Flames of War rule book and the Lessons from the Front (available from the Flames of War web site), as well as applicable updates listed in Old Ironsides (recon rules), with the following exceptions: · Flamethrower rules apply universally as written in Hitler's Fire Brigade.
