IR 2025 Tourney

[Tuomo]

In case you haven't gotten the word, the IR 2025 tourney pairings have been set and are shown on the Tourney Page.

If you haven't gotten the materials yet, bug Dave and Martin. Apologies if you're not into playtesting, but I suggested that in the absence of other ideas and D&M went for it.

I saw that the draw was up but haven’t heard anything else yet. What are we playtesting?

 

[Tuomo]

Pete Shelling has some stuff. (Pete Shelling always has some stuff).

First round scenario is a Ponyri action using part of the Ponyri map. The as-printed map hasn't been VASLized yet, so we're using a (cropped) playtest version, as well as some Ponryi SSRs. Ping me and I'll send them to you.

Later rounds will feature .... other stuff. Pete is cannily holding me hostage there, wanting me to finish a map or two so he can finalize scenarios for them.

Sounds good. Do you still have my email address?

Hey guys. Stay tuned. Martin has been swamped but we’ll get the info out to you shortly. Tom’s done all the leg work but you know what Martin’s like - trying to get all the credit!

Anyway, pairings are up on the archive’s tourney pages and we’ll be in touch very soon.

Thanks to Pete for letting us help out for this round, also.

I am always happy to get a few suc..... I mean 'playtesters'

 

[applecatcher4]

Now de-swamped, I have sent out the email with details for round 1.

Good luck all.

 

[Doug Leslie]

Got that thanks. Can I clarify which version of the PzIIIN we are using? With or without the AAMG?

I assume without the AAMG

 

[Andy Bagley]

Thanks, got it, looks good. Except that I can't see any balance options on the scenario sheet. Do we know what these are?

To quote Martins email "One issue is that there are no balance provisions so please tell us if you both bid the same and who won the dice toss as we may use this data later to rank order the whole event"

Oops, thanks. Apologies for failing to read the small print!

couple of questions,
what if 2 wrecks end up in same hex?
do Germans enter on turn 1 or on/after Gt1
cheers

@wrongway149

Pending Pete's response, my guess is you just keep the two Wrecks in the same hex. And since it doesn't say "on/after", I think that means "on". But that's just opinion from the cheap seats.

good catch! re-roll the second one.

On/After.

 

[Doug Leslie]

On/After.

If we use the Pleva scatter method suggested in the email, there is a possibility that a wreck could end up in a building. Should we re-roll that too?

 

[VonHutier]

I assume without the AAMG

Chapter H states it ( AAMG ) is a 44-45 option , so without I'm assuming.

Check the number of vehicles in the counter mix. If you have a large number then maybe you get to use whichever mg armament you want. Unlikely with a Pz3 but you do see this with T26 regularly.

Correct.

yes.

 

[Tuomo]

But Pete, maybe that wreck was using VBM
