Tournament Rules:
Army Composition:
Each player will select an Early War army at 100 points conforming to standard Flames of War army composition rules. Every player's army must be fully painted though historical accuracy is not necessary within colour schemes. Miniatures however must be WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) i.e., each model should be constructed to accurately depict the type of vehicle, infantry or field gun that it is intended to represent on the battlefield and no proxying is permitted with armaments etc.
Please note that due to our position as a high street retail store, we do not permit the German swastika to be displayed on any models or accessories. We appreciate that Flames of War is a World War II strategy game, but we hope our players understand the controversial and offensive nature of the symbol regardless of historical accuracy. Please ensure if your models have any swastika emblems these are covered in some way. We will insist they are removed from play if this is not followed.
Army Lists:
Army lists must be submitted to contact@tabletoprepublic.com by 23:59 30/04/27, late list submission will be factored into tie-breaks. This is in order to check that dynamic points have been correctly applied as they have not been added on forces. We request that you manually adjust the points on the pdf to ease this checking, fowlist.com has updated with dynamic points already so please feel free to submit a list using this software (Select dynamic points 2025.3).
Tournament:
The tournament will be simple matched-play meaning there is no narrative aspect and thus it is possible to play against the same nation as yourself.
There will be five rounds over the weekend of swiss-style pairings. The first round will be drawn randomly and thereafter players will be paired by score.
Missions:
We will be using the latest published Battlefront Mission pack, up to the 31st January 2027.
Scoring:
Scoring will be based on the victory points table as per the Flames of War rulebook. Points scored will be the first tiebreaker, followed by NET points, followed by strength of schedule.
Sportsmanship:
We expect all players to generally behave in a sporting manner. Pre-measuring is allowed in Flames of War and thus we advise communication as you go along is key to avoid disagreements – e.g. “are you happy that this is hull down?” when positioning in the movement phase is better than “I intended that to be hull down” in the opposition's shooting phase. Unseemly gamesmanship and outright cheating will of course not be tolerated.

First Place
Second Place
Third Place
