BHGS Pairs - Flames of War
The Pairs in 2017 is scheduled to take place on the weekend of 30th Sept / 1st Oct October
Umpire/List Checkers: Hammy & Nobby (unless they succeed in palming it off on someone else first)
The theme is Late War 1650 Axis and Allied.
Missions will be drawn from the V4 rule book. It is possible that the mission selection from More Missions may be used but at present this has yet to be finalised.
Bookings will be taken via Battlefield Hobbies website.
The event is planned for 16 teams, so book early!
The venue for the Doubles events in 2017 is Battlefield Hobbies in Daventry. See the Doubles Venue Page for details
For the FoW period unlike traditional "doubles" competitions a team of 2 players play "singles" games, with their combined score being counted as a team result to determine the winning "pair".
The format is especially suited to FoW, as by having pairs made up of one player using Axis and one player using Allied forces, and matching them against a different pair in each round "blue on blue" engagements can be avoided.
Each round the draw is done on a team by team basis with the combined score of the team (as a pair, or for FoW two players) being used to determine their position in the draw. Once the draw has been made in FoW then the two players pair up so that all games are between opposing sides of the conflict.Pairs play is for teams of two players, one playing Axis and the other Allied. Each pair is matched against a similar pair of players (no blue on blue engagements of course!) to play two simultaneous games of singles.
The combined score of each pair is used to determine the draw for each round, and also the eventual winning pair.

Games will be 2 hours 35 mins plus a 1-10 min(s) variable
