Field of Glory at Historicon 2009

  • June 20, 2009

     

    NASAMW will run three tournaments using the Field of Glory (FoG) rules at Historicon. All three events will be run in 15mm. They will also be run in 25mm with the following caveat: if not enough players sign up for a particular event to allow a viable tournament, the organizers reserve the right to cancel that event. 25mm events will be played on an 8x5 table using 40mm for a movement unit. All players, in both scales, are encouraged to contact Marc Crotteau at juvenileshark@yahoo.com in advance of Historicon to say which scale they are likely to play. This will help immensely with allocating available table space.

    There will be prizes based on tournament results and for best presented army.

     

    Thursday: Field of Glory Mini Themes

    We will be trying a new event design this year in an effort to create more historical matchups, while retaining the flexibility of an open event. Each player should bring an army list from any published FoG army list book. Prior to the start of the event the players will be broken down into pools of 4-8 armies, matched as closely as possible by date and region. Each round will be matched up within the pools. Secondary consideration will be given to separating players from the same club.

    There will be a 15mm event at 650 points for sure. If there is enough interest a 25mm event will also be run at 600 points. 25mm players are encouraged to bring a 15mm backup army.

    First round: noon – 3:00 pm
    Second round: 4:00 – 7:00 pm
    Third round: 8:00 – 11:00 pm

    Please check in no later than 11:45 am in order to ensure that the event can start on time.
