Little Wars V is now Closed for Sign-ups
Posted: Sun Mar 16, 2025 12:04 am
With TDC finishing up soon, I'm opening signups for the next Little Wars tourney, which will start on April 6th. While I realize HOML8 is going to run about the same time, these are small games and don't take much time to play a turn, so hopefully we'll get enough folks interested.
Here's an overview of how it'll be run.
1. The number of matches will be contingent on the number of people who sign up.
5-7 two matches vs each player - 8-12 altogether.
8-13 one match vs each player for 7-12
14-26 Divide into two divisions sorted by DL rankings, one match each for 6-12
27-39 Divide into three divisions sorted by DL rankings, one match each for 8-12.
40-52 Divide into four divisions sorted by DL rankings, one match each for 9-12.
2. Army choices will be limited to those available in the FOG2 Ancients plus its DLCs. Armies will be assigned on first come, first served basis; who ever signs up earlier has priority of those who sign up later. If there is enough interest, I will run a separate Medieval event as well. Players will need to own all the DLCs of that if they wish to join a section.
3. All matches will be on very narrow maps and with very small armies (600 pts).
4. Battlefields will be potluck by default, but each player may request one reroll of battlefield per match. If both agree, an additional reroll can be done. IF MUTUALLY AGREED, players may select the terrain type. For example, two horse armies might agree to meet on steppe.
If the tourney involves two matches vs each opponent, instead of potluck, one game can be on home terrain. In such cases, the home team can choose the terrain option. For example, if Romans, the home terrain is Mediterranean. Players can opt for any choice other than marsh or mountains. Those two make for potentially very constricted and unbalancing fields. The home team can always opt for potluck if they prefer that to their home terrain.
5. The tourney will run a minimum of 8 weeks, with additional weeks added for battles over 8 to a maximum of 12.
6. Scoring will place a heavy emphasis on winning and inflicting losses. 4 pts for breaking the enemy army. +3 pts if inflicting 60%+, +2 pts if inflicting 40-59%, +1 pt if inflicting 20-39%. Both sides score points for losses inflicted.
7. In regards to other details, we will follow the rules and guidelines posted for TDC play.
8. We can accept one player per division per season who doesn't own all the DLCs. All others must have all DLCs to join. Such a player will need to have his matches created by his opponents.
9. The default battle type is OPEN BATTLE. If both players MUTUALLY AGREE, any of the other battle types can be played instead.
10. I will leave sign-ups open until 4/1, so you have about 3 weeks to decide.
If you have any questions or comments on this, please post in this thread.
If you wish to sign up, post your section and army choice. You may join either or both sections.
