The AMERICA Club Games for Gamers

15mm Field of Glory - FOG

Rules:
The competition will use the full rules including the terrain and set-up appendices. In addition, the official FAQ and Errata will also be used. These can be found on the Field of Glory website www.fieldofglory.com .

Umpire:
The umpire for this event is Kevin Carberry. Depending on player numbers, Kevin will be a playing umpire (to avoid an odd number of players if necessary). For any umpire queries or rules queries please send them to sales@battleline-miniatures.co.nz with Battlecry (Kevin) in the subject line. This will then get to the appropriate person.

Number of games:
The tournament is over 4 games, 2 on the Saturday, 2 on the Sunday. See the program for the game times.

Game duration:
Time will be called after 3.5 hours per game.

Army points:
The list submitted must not exceed 800 points.

Army list:
Single list format with army to be chosen from one of the army lists books. Army lists must specify the number and size of battle groups and their order of march for deployment, and the number and type of commanders chosen. They should also include the territory list for the army. Once an army list has been submitted it may not be changed or altered other than to correct any errors. Players may only correct their errors by making reasonable changes to their list. It is not allowed to completely re-write the list, and the list checker’s decision on this is final.

Any incorrect list discovered after a game has commenced (after set up dice have been rolled) must be corrected prior to deployment if spotted in time, and fully corrected in any case before the next game.

The army list checker is Arthur Young. Army lists must be submitted for checking in advance and must be received no later than 31st January 2010. Late lists will be penalised. Army lists should be sent to sales@battleline-miniatures.co.nz with Battlecry (Arthur) in the subject line. This will then get to the appropriate person.

Games:
The first game will attempt to match up players against historical opponents using armies from the same army list books and/or time periods. Games thereafter will be determined based on the points scored so far in the tournament.

Figures:
This tournament is for 15mm figures only. Players must fully define their troops as they are placed on table. Figures must provide a reasonably accurate representation of the troops they are trying to represent – they must not look deliberately misleading. In addition, all figures must be representative and painted and based to an acceptable standard.

Tables:
Table size is 6’x 4’

Terrain:
Players must supply their own terrain pieces.

Start time:
Players must be present and ready to start the game at the appointed time (see the program). Players may always commence games earlier than the stated time by mutual consent.

Late arrival penalties:
Where a player has a reasonable excuse for arriving late the game start will be delayed by up to 30 minutes. After which time the player waiting will be awarded a bye which equates to a win and scores maximum points. The late or non-arriving player will score 0 points. No player will be awarded more than one bye for any reason. If a player resigns from a game at any stage after the first set up dice have been rolled their opponent will be awarded maximum points, and they will be awarded 0 points.

End of game:
When time is called, play will continue until the end of the turn of the player who moved second, such that both players will have had an equal number of turns. Play will stop immediately before the joint action phase following this.

Scoring system:

Battle:

The scoring system used will be as per the Field of Glory rulebook, which will then be converted to the following results:

Win 5 points
Draw 2 points
Loss 1 point

In addition there will be a Sports component as well. This is detailed below

Sports:

After each game you will rate your opponent from 0 to 4 on the following scale:

0 – Absolutely appalling game. Heaps of disputes, arguments, cheating. I never want to play this person again!

1 – Below par game, with a few niggles and mildly annoying aspects from my opponent.

2 – Typical game, good solid gameplay with a knowledgeable and component opponent. No real problems.

3 – Above average game, with a good sporting opponent.

4 – Fantastic game. Best person I have ever played. Happy to play again.

These Sports scores will then be averaged and added to your Battle scores to determine the Overall results.

Raw Sports scores will be used to determine the 1st place Sports winner.
