Army Size: Doubles - 2 x 50 points per side.
Players can either enter as a pair or be assigned a partner - please contact David if you have any questions.

Book via the Britcon Booking Page 

  • We are looking to accommodate 32 players,​ ​with​ 8​ ​French​ ​and​ 8 ​Allied​ teams of 2  ​released initially. Depending on offers of terrain we hope to expand this nearer the event. 
  • Terrain will be pre-set. If you are able to provide or contribute towards a table of terrain please let us know as part of the booking process.
  • David Hunter will be on Umpiring duties

 
  • Game​ ​Length: 2.5​ ​hours​ ​per​ ​game 
  • #​ ​of​ ​Games: TBC, however Britcon allows gaming on Friday evening, a longer than average full day on Saturday and a standard ​ ​2-game​ ​Sunday   
  • There will be at least five games played over Saturday and Sunday, and you will play once on each table against a different opponent from the opposing side. The scenarios will vary from round to round and will be a mix of Missions and Battles. The
    mission pack specific to your chosen side will be made available at least two weeks before the event. It would be inadvisable to share your version of the scenarios with anyone from the opposing side.

​Format: Teams  ​will​ ​be​ ​matched​ ​from​ ​round​ ​to​ ​round​ ​to​ ​ensure​ ​nobody​ ​plays​ ​on  the​ ​same​ ​table​ ​twice​ ​and​ ​nobody​ ​plays​ ​the​ ​same​ ​opponent​ ​twice.​ Teams who​ ​have​ ​lost​ ​their​ ​previous​ ​game​ ​who​ ​are​ ​matched​ ​against​ ​an​ ​opponent  who​ ​won​ ​their​ ​previous​ ​game​ ​will​ ​have​ ​choice​ ​of​ ​table​ ​edges​ ​and​ ​role​ ​in  the​ ​game​ ​(eg​ ​attacker/defender),​ ​if​ ​applicable.   

Campaign: There​ ​will​ ​be​ ​a​ ​campaign​ ​map.​ ​Depending​ ​on​ ​the​ ​results  of​ ​the​ ​5​ ​games​ ​we​ ​shall​ ​see​ ​if​ ​either​ ​faction​ ​can​ ​break​ ​the​ ​enemy's​ ​lines  over​ ​the​ ​weekend.
