Rules and Regulations

•
All armies must be fully painted. Any players with unpainted models in their
armies will be ineligible to win any awards.
•
Rounds will be determined by game play results and each player will be seeded
with an opponent of their caliber. Battle point match-ups are a higher priority than
any other form of match-up so be prepared to play any army type or opponent.
•
We will also attempt to match up Axis vs. Allies whenever possible but do not
expect every game to work out historically.
•
For the first few games we will attempt to avoid matching up same club members.
•
Any mission that uses the Free-For-All mission may be replaced with the Seize
and Hold mission, located on page 27 in Das Book, if one of the armies is an
Allied Airborne Company (Do not use the Seize and Hold mission located in D
Minus 1). The Allied Airborne Company player must provide three Rommel’s
Asparagus for the defender to use during setup. Only British and US Airborne
companies may perform a Seize and Hold mission. Hell’s Highway and A Bridge
Too Far Airborne companies may perform a Seize and Hold mission but must
adhere to all the rules located on page 20 in Das Book. Due to the point
differential no British Airlanding Companies may perform a Coup-de-main glider
assault.

•
Army Lists must be submitted no later than Friday, February 24th, 2012. Unit
histories are not necessary but we will consider any unit histories as part of your
Armies on Parade score. Please submit lists to ChrisLS@UCLAlumni.net and

recipient. We determine the winners in order of the priority from top to bottom and no
player may win more than one award with the exception of Player’s Choice and Favorite
Opponent. A player may win one or both of these awards as well as another award
because the Player’s Choice and Favorite Opponent awards are determined solely by the
players and the remaining awards are determined by performance.
