Welcome to Sturm über El Alamein 2017, a Mid War Flames of War event. This

will be a five game event over the weekend of June 17th and 18th. The format

will be red on blue where possible. Everyone will play the same missions and

the players with the highest score per faction at the end of the weekend will

be awarded the finest general award.

Tournament System

The event will use the rules from the 4th Edition of Flames of War using any

updated errata. This event will not be using command cards. You will need a

100-point army from Desert Rats or Afrika Corp, no Tigers or 17-pdrs allowed.

You will be scored using the Flames of War 9-0 system.

The Tables

The majority of the scenery and all the tables will be provided for the event,

the scenery will be pre-set for the table and we will endeavour to make sure

you only play on each table once. We will provide rulings for the terrain on

each table if you are unable to agree with your opponent, we suggest checking

the front of the V4 rulebook as most terrain types are detailed. We welcome

players who wish to bring their own terrain, though we do ask that you bring a

themed table and not just random terrain. We reserve the right to adjust your

supplied scenery.

Missing Opponent

If your opponent does not turn up on time they will be given a 30-minute grace

period, after that (without serious mitigation) you will be awarded a maximum

win.

Referees

There will be three umpires at this event, we would ask that if you have a

disagreement you conclude between you, if an umpire is called to adjudicate,

their decision, right or wrong, is final. The head Umpire is Tommy Brown, the

additional umpires are Mick Rood and Alex Billing.



Game Duration

Each game lasts two and a half hours; we will give out frequent timings and

when final time is called you will have a chance to even up turns.

Determining Who Attacks

The attacker will be determined by the overall campaign, depending on which

side has the upper hand it may be axis attack or allies attack.

Gaming Etiquette

We would like all players to provide a copy of their army list to their opponents

before play and to clearly indicate which platoons are in reserve and which

platoons have been designated for the ambush. Teams from platoons should

be clearly marked to avoid your opponent’s confusion when intermingled, we

also ask that for your opponent’s benefit you use counters to indicate such

states as pinned, bailed out, dug in and gone to ground.

Food

Included in the ticket price is a meal at lunchtime on both days. Limitless Tea

and Coffee will be provided by the venue for a small fee.

Allowed lists

You will need a 100 point army from Desert Rats or Afrika Corp, no Tigers or

17-pdrs allowed. No command cards. All lists to be submitted no later than

Saturday 3rd June 2017.

Missions

The missions to be played over this weekend will be randomly drawn each

round from any of the official V4 missions.

Soft Scores

There will be a prize for most sporting player and best painted armies, the soft

scores will have no impact on the overall winner. We do ask that all armies be

painted and whilst we will not award points for painted armies we will deduct

them for unpainted figures. In real terms, you will lose 2 competition points

for each unit that includes unpainted figures.

Best Painted and Most Sporting

Throughout Saturday we will be observing your armies and the umpires will

then judge the best armies and ask the players to vote on these over Sunday

dinner time. Your score sheet will include a section for voting on the Best

Painted Allied army and Best Painted Axis army. Make sure that these are

filled in. There will also be a section for putting down your favourite opponent,

we would recommend that you wait till the last game before filling this in,

please make sure this is completed as the player with the most votes will be

awarded the covetous Most Sporting Player prize.



Trophies

The player with the highest overall score will be awarded first place. There will

also be a prize for second and third place. We will also award trophies to Best

Painted Allied, Best Painted Axis and Most Sporting.
