Four down…Four to go!

Finally posting after lurking for almost a decade now.  Hi everyone.

There’s going to be a Revised (2004 Edition) tournament at the WBC tournament this year (It’s an annual boardgaming/wargaming tournament/convention.  They typically play Avalon Hill and GMT games.).

The tournament is going to be from Friday, July 21 (Preliminaries) until Saturday, July 22 (Semifinals/Finals).  The convention itself is continuing for the rest of the week (July 22-30).
The format uses a unique ruleset to make the game playable in a limited amount of time.  I can post the rules if you’re interested.

boardgamers.org (Can’t actually post links but you get the idea.  A search of “World Boardgaming Championships” will take you to the page as well)

Ruleset:
@WBC:

Time Limit: 4:30 hrs Standard Bidding.

Adjudication System-
The determination of who wins a tournament game will be based upon the control of Victory Territories (VTs). The Victory City method of determining a winner will NOT be used. Each side controls 12 Victory Territories at the beginning of the game. The Victory Territories are listed below.

AXIS POWERS
GERMANY
Germany
Western Europe
Southern Europe
Eastern Europe
Ukraine SSR
Norway

JAPAN
Japan
Manchuria
French Indochina
Philippine Islands
East Indies
Borneo

ALLIED POWERS
USSR
Russia
Caucasus
Archangel
Novosibirsk

UK
United Kingdom
India
Anglo-Egypt
Australia

USA
Eastern US
Western US
Hawaiian Islands
Sinkiang

If a player holds 18 (or more) VTs for a full round of game play (From the end of a country’s turn to the beginning of that same country’s next turn.), then that player automatically wins the game.

In the event of a VT tie at the end of the game, whichever side increased its IPC total is the winner. If the game is still tied after reviewing the IPC totals, then the GM will make a determination of the winner based upon the game situation at the time the game ended.

If a player chooses to concede a game before it has reached the 18 VT automatic win threshold or the game time limit (4.5 hrs), a default score of 19 VTs and +30 IPCs will be awarded to the winner.

GM (Tournament Organizer.  He can answer any questions better than I can probably) : Craig Yope (NOT ME)
I don’t know the rules for sending email addresses out, so I’d have to PM it to anyone who’s interested.

I’m signed up for the G40!

@suprise:

Sorry guys, I cant make it there this year.

Have fun and take lots of pictures.
Kris…aka “Surprise Attack”

Sorry to hear that Kris… hope to see you next year, we’ll miss ya.

Cheers.

@Young:

I just modified the entries correctly, very nice work from both of you, the reason I took so many pics of the ROE table was because it was very photogenic (and because it was a blast to play).

Was IWNGU’s painted units the paratroopers crossing the road, or the last pic with the 3 in one?

The paratroopers are the last pic of 3 (painted by Ken).
The group crossing the road are German Grenadiers (painted by myself).

@Young:

Team Grasshopper surrendered to team Gargantua due to foreseeable conditions.

Yeah, I ate the board, and half of the other team because of it!

You owe me a board BTW…… (Again).
