Players can bring any tank currently available in World of Tanks Miniatures Game that has been released and are not restricted by the types of tanks or nationality. Normal platoon building rules apply. Models do not have to be painted but this is encouraged, especially if the player wants to take part in the hobby award.
Players must submit their lists before the event. The deadline for submitting lists is March 8th 2024. The TO will verify list construction is accurate and follows rules. If a list is not compliant, the TO will notify the player as soon as possible. Final Revisions need to be submitted by March 15th. Lists should be sent to [email protected] Players must fill out their list using the format listed in World of Tanks organized play packet listed in the link below.
Alongside their list players should also submit the following:
Name
Contact number – used for emergency contact.
City – used for pairings
State – used for pairings
Gaming club/store – used for pairings
Players must bring at least three copies of their list to the event. The list provided should have all points described (i.e., tanks, crew cards, modules, etc.) but the list shown to opponents needs to only have the total points and other values that are revealed at the start of the game. The TO will check a player’s list during the event.
Players should bring all gaming accessories needed, including models, dice, tokens, measuring arrows, rulebooks, damage decks, etc. Players who fail to bring these items cannot qualify for awards. If models or items become lost or damaged during the event this should be reported to the TO. Players cannot use proxy models, including 3d printed models (proxy models are models that stand in for another, for instance a Sherman 75mm standing in for a Sherman 76), or the following proxy gaming aids: tank cards, upgrade cards, measuring arrows, dice. The use of these will result in immediate disqualification.
Players do not need to bring terrain, as Battlefront will provide the tables and terrain. Players should discuss between each other the terrain types on the board before setup and play.
If an odd number of players participate the TO will have a player take a bye (considered a win but indicated as a bye for pairing purposes).
For initial pairings this will be based on the player’s city, state, and any club they belong to so players get the opportunity to play new opponents. For subsequent rounds pairing will be based on Wins, then strength of schedule, then tank kills.
Players should interact in a sporting manner including but not limited to asking and providing their list, following mission deployment layout, reviewing terrain, rolling dice where all participants can see, reminding opponents of rules, clarifying end of game scoring.
Other players should not interrupt other players’ games, they should confirm any questions or concerns with the TO when necessary. Players should confirm any questions/concerns first to the rulebook and errata then theTO.
Games should be played to match the battle modes listed in the WOT rulebook. Scoring should match the format listed for each mission. If players run out of time, they should complete the round they are on. Players should not start a new round if there is less than 10 minutes of time remaining in the round. If players go over time finishing their round, they will both lose the mission.
Missions that may be played include Assault, Capture the Base, Encounter, and Free for All. Missions will be written on chits and pulled out of a bag each round. No mission will be played consecutively and no mission will be played more than twice.
To the left of each of the opponent’s names the player must write the table they played on, to limit the number of times a player replays on the same board.
Tables will be marked play space (3ft by 3ft). Gameplay will only occur in this region of the boards.
Players will utilize the score sheet from the World of Tanks organized play kit. These will be provided by the TO
All rulings of the TO will be final.
