Rules and Regulations for National Tournaments:

• All armies must be fully painted. Any miniatures not fully painted will be pulled from the table prior to starting the tournament.
• We will also attempt to match up Axis vs. Allies whenever possible but do not expect every game to work out historically. We may not have an even number of Axis and Allies.
• For the first game we will attempt to avoid matching up same club members.
• Players are responsible for monitoring the time and the judges will announce time intervals throughout the tournament. A true act of sportsmanship is not starting a new turn if both players will not be able to finish that turn. The game should be called if both players cannot finish their turn and the results should be calculated.
• When time is called the game must immediately end regardless of the action taking place in the game. New turns cannot be started even if starting a new turn would award an immediate victory or cause a player to make a company morale check.
• If two fortified companies face each other then they will play the No Man’s Land Mission.
