NZ NATCON 2011 WOTR

Xelee · **Posted:** Mon Nov 29, 2010 9:35 pm

There will be WOTR offered for NATCON. As far as I know, this will be the first New Zealand Nationals WOTR event, which makes whoever wins - the first ever champion of WOTR in middle earth! Jast sayin.

Players pack and registration details are here: http://www.chchwargaming.org.nz/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7408

I will be umpiring, and will be getting direct feedback on format from those who have said they are coming already, but I am always open to more comments.

The format will be:

It will be a two day, five game, event. 1000 pts, using the the army construction guidelines from the rulebook.

Games are to be played on a 6'x4' table. Games will use combinations of the missions and victory conditions in the rulebook plus possibly a new/reworked mission to mix things up a little. There will be at least two shieldwalls deployments, plus one battle for the pass and one maelstrom.

Games will be scored using the rules in the WOTR rulebook. After each game, W/L/D and total points using the GW system will be recorded. In the first instance, players will be ranked using the following formula:

3 pts per win, 1 pt per draw, 0pts per loss. If this results in ties, then the recorded GW points will be used to determine the rankings within those ties.

(only if prize support permits) There will be a separate painting prize, based on player vote.

There will be no 'Sports' points.

Lists are due one week before the event. Players have almost complete freedom in list design but the Umpire reserves the right to ask a player to rethink a list, if it will be something like a Gorgoroth Orc Horde with plenty of Nazgul!

I will be on hand to prevent byes, especially for any who have traveled, but will otherwise umpire. Games with the umpire will be 'for fun' and it will be scored as a bye. If someone would like to attend from out of town and would like to borrow an army, this could be arranged.

If you want to come along and vie for this coveted title, then get registrations in early once they open next month. Lets stake out some real space for WOTR Smile

Just in case it even occurred to anyone to wonder where we were at:

Hello to everyone in Wargaming

NatCon 2011 will still be held in Christchurch over the Easter weekend from Friday 22nd April till Sunday 24th April.

I can confirm that the venue is structurally sound. As those who have already been to the Woolston Working Mens club and are aware that the premises has multiple bars and a fully catered restaurant. There are also shops nearby.

Accommodation will be the biggest issue for people outside of Christchurch so we at the Christchurch Wargaming Club are asking all the locals to contact their Wargaming friends outside of the garden city and look to host them over the weekend. An even better solution would be to pack the wife and kids off to your in-laws for the weekend and try to replicate your misspent youth. No pressure.

The CWC committee is currently working on a proposal of further alternative accommodation. If this works out more information will follow.

If you have already booked accommodation then you need to contact them and get confirmation that your booking is still good.

The only way any tournament is a success is when people turn up ands enjoy themselves, so all of ye dice throwers come on over to Wargaming Party Central, here in Christchurch over the Easter break.

If people wish to pay for NatCon with a cheque, then the cheque needs to be made out to ‘Damon Quaid’, who is the current CWC treasurer. This is the same name as the account for automatic transfers.

As per every NatCon, the prizes and awards will be held at the dinner on Sunday night. The dinner is also where voting is held as to where the next NatCon is to be held.

Cheers
