15 mm Napoleonics: -

The timetable is as follows:
15 mm Napoleonics: -
Coalition armies v Republican/Empire armies
This 15mm event will run with 4 games over the weekend (2 games on Saturday and 2 games on Sunday, players only able to make one day will be accommodated if possible.
- Games will be fought between two opposing teams of Coalition armies and French Republican/Empire armies from any period in the rules.
- Armies shall be entered as either a Coalition army or a Republican/Empire army (Red v Blue). Players able to enter in both categories are encouraged to do so to make it easier to balance sides up. Preferences should be given to the list checker who will do his best to achieve this.
- Players will then be informed which army to bring hence forming two teams and players will use the same army over the weekend. Those with only one army will be using that army.
- All army lists should comply with the requirements in the BE Version 2 rulebook.
- Army lists should be 200 pts maximum.
- Standard sized tables of 120mm * 80mm
- Preset terrain will be used throughout the weekend to increase the speed of play, some players will be asked to bring mats and terrain to enable this to happen.
- Depending on numbers attending the draw will ensure no two players play each other more than once, if possible. In the case of odd numbers, I will bring two armies and during the rounds the bottom player will get a bye, a toss of the coin to determine which side, no player will get two byes.
The timetable is as follows:
- Saturday : 09:30-13:00, 14:00-17.30
- Sunday : 09:00-12:30, 13:15-16:45
- These games times will be extended by a few minutes (up to 15) as decided by the umpires.
- When time is called there will be a 'hard stop' to the games - put the dice down and work out the result. We know there are pros and cons to this system, but it is the same for everyone and greatly helps the overall organisation of the whole event.
- Scoring will be done on the usual French system.
Umpire : Adrian Steer, plus the usual cabal of experts who'll be playing anyway
List Checker : Adrian Steer
List submission deadline 23rd March 2024
