Tournament Structure
Prizes will be awarded for the following categories:
- Generalship - Best victory point total for three games: first, second and third place will be recognized.
- Best Army - Best presented army, including painting of figures and vehicles, basing, and history.
- Best Platoon - Each player may nominate one platoon for best paint and basing. Players will vote for best platoon in secret ballot.
Tournament Scenarios
Round One
Free-for-All or Encounter - The default scenario is Free-for-All. If both players agree, you may play Encounter instead.
Round Two:
Hold the Line or Fighting Withdrawal or Breakdown Rescue - The default scenario is Hold the Line. If both players agree, you may play Fighting Withdrawal instead. However, if one side (and only one side) has a Experimental Support Platoon, then the opponent without the Experimental Support Platoon may demand the Breakdown Rescue scenario be played.
Round Three
Breakthrough or The Cauldron or Key Position - The default scenario is Breakthrough. If both players agree, you may play The Cauldron instead. However, if both players have Midwar Monster platoons, then you must play Key Position.
Force Structures
No army can exceed 1750 points but may be less
that 1750. All armies must be drawn from North Africa or pdf for North Africa or Tunisia . Experimental Support Platoons may be drawn from the Midwar Monsters book according to the limitations detailed below.
History Matters
Only forces and equipment used in North Africa or Tunisia may be used. Equipment that does not become available until Sicily or Italy is prohibited. Yes, I know we are using Midwar Monsters, but we are taking into account the fictional "combat histories" to determine what is available.
For example, the Panzerkompanie - Tunisia and Italy is allowed Flame-Tank Platoon for the Salerno landings. This is outside the Tunisia and North Africa theme, so is not allowed. Likewise, under divisional support Marder IIIs are allowed in Italy, but not Tunisia, so are not allowed in this Tournament. If you have any questions while working out your lists, please contact Rob Smith at rob@greathallgames.com.
Mid-War Monsters
Select Experimental Support Platoons are allowed in this tournament, according to their combat "histories" as detailed in the Midwar Monsters book. The following are allowed:
- British TOG 2
- British Churchill 3" Gun Carrier
- British Boarhound
- US M6 heavy Tank
- US T55 Gun Motor Carriage
