CHURCHILL WAR CABINET Presents:

THE GREAT WAR

Grab your rifle and pack some grenades, the Germans are coming!
40 Volunteers are required to participate in this great war.


WHO

No raw recruits. Sorry. We are asking for Sergeants & ranks above.

Non-Premiums welcome. But be aware that you will need space for 2 games per round, these will be active at the same time.

If you haven’t got the stripes, many apologies, you’re just too young to witness such terror. BUT there will be future events for you to enter once you're battle hardened.

WHERE

This war will be fought on the fields of the British Isles and the streets of Germany. See the structure of the rounds below. To make it really exciting, in round 1 & 2, you’ll have two battle fronts on-going at the same time. So your strategy won’t just be to one map, because a points system based on your finishing position in both games will determine who goes through to the next round.

Sign up by replying, i'll make a random draw for the groups once we have 40 volunteers. i'll try to keep an up to date list of acceptable entrants on the thread so you all know how many spaces are available.

WHAT

All games will be sequential. Flat rate cards. One fortification.

ROUND 1
10 groups. 4 players per group.
2 matches per group.
1 British Isles & 1 German

Players who finishes 1st & 2nd on aggregate will progress. So a points system is used as follows

1st – 10 points
2nd – 6 points
3rd – 4 points
4th – 2 points

We believe there is only one outcome which can result in a three way tie for 2nd for the second qualification place in any of the Round 1 & 2 games. In the event of three players tie-ing on the same points, it will be the player who eliminated most players across the 2 games that is allowed to progress to the next round.

ROUND 2
5 groups. 4 players per group.
2 matches per group.
1 British Isles & 1 German

Players who finish 1st & 2nd progress. Same points system.

ROUND 3
2 groups. 5 players per group.
1 match per group.
The war has left British shores and German bunkers and spread to the trenches of Europe. (European Map).

Winner of each game will progress to final.
Two runners-up will also progress to final, BUT to ensure you naughty soldiers don’t play for 2nd place, the runners-up spots will be for the two players who eliminate the most people from each semi.


FINAL
4 Hard Bastards. 1 match. Straight up warfare. European Map.
Europe is faltering, only one army will be victorious, but the Hero's shall be remembered - see below.


AWARDS
The CWC will make 4 prestigious awards to the most heroic soliders throughout this great war.

ImageGeorge Cross – awarded in recognition of surviving the most accumulative rounds on British Isles Map.

ImageVictoria Cross – awarded in recognition of the highest kill rate on British Isles Map.

ImageIron Cross – awarded in recognition of the highest kill rate on German Map.

ImagePurple Heart – awarded to the player who makes the most ‘blue on blue’ kills. So make like a double agent, set up an alliance and then shoot them in the back, sneaky sneaky.


One of the CWC designers will even make a shiny new badge for you to include in your Avatar for the winners of these individual honours[/b]

So is D-Day next thursday?
Can someone an erwin rommel account and kick someones ass?
Can i actually kick someones butt for the sake of it in one of those games(look at my points/rank and look at my games i have the WORST PLAYERS EVER in my games who deadbeat all the time and couldnt strategise thier way out of a paper bag :evil: )

If you want to see the kind of people that mess up my games have a look at the bay of pigs or d-day without the victory at d-day these people like to slaughter thier armies on me and let someone else kill me and them

These people need to be taught the basic tactics of "watch your fucking borders" and "you are not a japanese WWII pilot quit suiciding on me"
Seriously there are alot of people out there who need to learn how to make a battleplan and survive without opening me up to attack and geting themselves killed(look at my games ITS HAPPENING AGAIN RIGHT NOW!)

Sorry for the above rant...

I will join this noble struggle if you'll have me. I'm currently a lieutenant, although probably not for long, I don't expect to drop below sergeant though.

list updated. bunnys are certainly allowed.

sprcobra - sorry im under instructions to keep this one for Stripes and above. Keep plugging away though, im sure you could be in the next one.

Took me a while to get going up the ranks, still struggling!

One tip i can give, get a decent doubles partner who you can communicate well with and play some doubles games. you may find you pick up more points.

All the best.

One day the dice will turn against you,you will be surrounded by deadbeats and you will be forced to play with people who have enough tactical prowess to make a kamikaze seem like a rational non-suicidal idea(yes they are that bad)

You really have to see these guys in action they can make any victory into an idiotic loss i imagine they would say this "I like to play fair but i will just suicide on you leaving you completly open in an announced allaince btw did i mention i got us both killed i also dont know the differtn between attack and defence and i would be tactically pwned by a dead fish"

Permission to critize the people in this so called wars tactics whenever possilbe...?

Maybe if people couldnt play because of the idiot strategy of others there would be more players...

Beware the idiots not for thier ability to kill you but for thier ability to get you killed
