Now with Cold Wars 2017 behind us it is time to turn our attentions to Historicon 2017 and the first ever Team Yankee North American Nationals also known as “Fulda Gap in Fredericksburg”. Here are the details
GMs: Mitch Reed (WWPDMitch@gmail.com) and Brian Sullivan
Cost: Free!!!
Date/Time: 14 July 10am – 8pm Arrive at 9:30am to register. Players who do not check in by 9:45 may have their spots taken by a player on the stand by list.
Three 2.5 hour rounds. 100 Points. All official lists from Team Yankee (including Afghansty), Leopard (including Panzertruppen), Iron Maiden, and Volks-Armee will be allowed. All forces will be fully painted. We have spots for 120 players and we will make a stand-by list if the tournament fills up. Each participant will get the Wolfgang’s Bratty Wagon objective for free for playing in the tournament.
The Fulda Cup
Store/Club Challenge: Players can represent their store or club during this tournament, with the best store/club taking home the “Fulda Cup” to mount at their local gaming store. Each club/store will need to submit a list of their team members to me at WWPDMitch@gmail.com by 30 June 2017. The team with highest average score takes home the hardware. Each team will need a minimum of 4 players to be eligible for this award.
Enhanced scoring: At the end of each round, players will tally up the points of the enemy units they have destroyed and then subtract the points for the units they lost in that round. This will help settle ties in a three round event.
I will be dropping info in the forums and on Twitter, so follow me @MitchWWPD. We may add other types of prizes in other categories as we get closer to the event.
