GMT will support this new release with supplementary prizes of $2 coupons to every participant and a $10 prize certificate to the winner. Although the game is rated for Experienced Players only, that refers more to knowing the rules than having logged a lot of games. I will be on hand Tuesday night and all day Wednesday to demo the game before the tournament in addition to my scheduled demo time slot on Saturday evening. I will play in the event only as an "eliminator" in the event of odd-man fields in an attempt to prevent byes although I am by no means a lock to eliminate many despite being the designer.

The event will consist of four-hour rounds using the limited War scenario covering the first half of the war and random pairing of opponents. There will be no draws allowed due to the Single Elimination nature of the tournament. The final two players will play a full Campaign Game for the championship.
