Construction Rules: 1000 points, Unlimited platoons, theater selectors allowed, no dice cap
No armored platoons, no naval observers, no special characters or news reporters
Limit 0-2: Gurkha units of any kind, Polish Lancers, Armored vehicles with more than 2 MG’s (pintles do not count toward this total), flame throwers of any kind
Special: Vehicle wrecks stay on the table as impassable terrain
MMG teams cause one automatic pin at the target they fire against, even if they miss. If they hit, they cause one additional pin
Passengers on armored transports do not take pins from small arms fire (although the vehicle will per normal rules). Passengers on soft-skin transport do take pins from shots at the transport.
Tiger fear will not be in effect. Instead, German tanks get “Improved German Optics”, which means they do not suffer a shooting penalty with main armament when shooting at long range
Italian armies suffer a maximum of -1/+1 from Avanti Savoia, not -2 per the core army entry. Italian armies taken from the Western Desert or Soft Underbelly supplement follow those rules per normal.

ROUND SCORING
Win = 5 points
Secondary Objective = 3 points
Draw = 1 point
To score an objective you must have a friendly unit within 3” of the CENTER of the objective marker.
No unit may score more than one table quarter or objective.
SPORTSMANSHIP
Players are assumed to get maximum scores on sportsmanship each round. If a player demonstrates abusive behavior, slow play, cheating etc., notify a tournament judge immediately. Players behaving in an inappropriate fashion will be docked points, asked to leave, or banned from future Warzone events.
At the end of the event players will be asked to vote for their favorite player, amongst the five opponents they faced.
ARMY APPEARANCE & SCORING
All armies must be fully painted (at least three color minimum) and WYSIWYG. Customization and creative modeling is encouraged as long as it is clear what the unit is supposed to represent. If in doubt, contact the tournament organizer by any of the means listed below.
Judges will score all players’ army’s appearance during the first and second lunch breaks, so leave them set up on the table until your army has been scored, against the following rubric:
All models are fully painted (Required) = 1 Point
All models are fully based = 1 Point
Basic details such as unit markings, decals on tanks, simple wash or highlights = 1 Point
Advanced details such as rank insignia, eyes, advanced shading = 1 Point
Really amazing work; advanced shading and weathering, freehand, creative customization, thematic bases, etc. = 1 Point
Most players should expect to get 3 of the 5 possible points
Favorite army: Players will be asked to vote for their favorite army at the end of the event. This includes things like overall paint job, army cohesiveness, display board, army theme, history, etc. This is a unique category and does not count toward the overall score.
