Unlike traditional tournaments where each player plays multiple opponents throughout the day we have arranged for the following (as each side will be working together as a team): Trophies for the top Axis and Allied commanders who wreck the most damage on the day as well as our famous “most cinematic action” trophy. We also have prizes for the top four players and the “most cinematic action” winner (These will be based on “Early War” which fits our coming battles for 2025).
Models can be provided if you do not have any which match this period.
Entry is FREE for members – £10 for non members
9 German players confirmed, eight with 1250pt armoured infantry armies (the tables are big, they need the transport) supported by a dedicated air controller in charge of three planes & 10 Russian players eight with 1000pt armies and again a dedicated air controller with three planes.
