Russian Traditional army. 15mm Essex Miniatures painted by Mike Holt.

This year we had an open tournament rather than a theme, to give us some practice before the Worlds next year. We used using 15mm armies on 6 x 4 tables. Players were allowed to use any of the army lists, and select two lists from the same year, region, etc. For this tournament we used the IWF points values, with 400 point armies.

This year's PoP also used the same special tournament rules as the 2011 IWF competition:

1. The DBR IWF points values.
2. The IWF amendments and clarifications, including terrain placement. They can be found at:
   http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/mcnelly/dbr/downloads/DBR_IWF_Clarifications.pdf
3. The army list to be used is selected and noted down before the invader is determined.
4. Defenders required to place a compulsory road count this first road as one feature equivalent.
5. Victory & defeat will be as follows. Delete the phrase "at the end of any bound of either side" from the first sentence of the first paragraph of "Victory & Defeat" on page 24. This means an army ceases fighting at the point in which it is broken and the game is ended without a "revenge bound".

Scoring The designated scoring system will be 32-0 scoring system. The same version of 32-0 as is being used at previously at WIC will be used.
