• We will also attempt to match up allies vs. axis whenever possible but do not expect every game to work out historically.

• Scoring will use the Battlefront tournament software with a weighting of 75% Generalship, 15% Painting and History, and 10% Sportsmanship.

• Our prizes will be awarded in the following order of importance and no player shall be awarded more than one prize.  We will hand out awards for the following categories:
