Rules for the 2026 Tournament
1. FUN!!! Remember we are all here to have fun and enjoy these great games. Don't ruin your experience and someone else's by taking it too seriously.
2. All Club Rules in Section 6 of the ACWGC Rules concerning Gameplay are applicable here.
3. House Rules are allowed between combatants. If the players cannot mutually agree on House Rules, they should both reevaluate Rule 1 above, then see if they can find a mutually agreeable way to proceed. If not, please review Rule 1 one last time. If you still can't (or won't) agree on acceptable terms, the game should be dropped and will remain unplayed.
4. All Optional Rules may be negotiated between the participants. If you cannot agree on the Optional Rules then I suggest playing with all of them checked except Manual Defensive Fire, Artillery Capture, and Limited Artillery Unlimber. Remember this is an Equal Force Challenge. The effect of the Optional Rules will then be the exact same for both sides. It is not worth the frustration or time to get into a heated debate on these rules. See Rule 1 above for further advice. If you still can't (or won't) agree on acceptable rules, the game should be dropped and will remain unplayed.
5. Melee in Column is allowed per Club Rules unless the players opt for a House Rule barring them.
6. Once the game is completed please contact me at blakeacwgc[at]gmail.com as soon as possible with the result.
7. This office reserves the right to alter the timelines depending on extraordinary circumstances. I always try to be fair-minded and admit the possibility of unforeseen circumstances changing things.
8. Grievances - please, remember this is all for fun! But should you have any major issues or problems please contact me at blakeacwgc[at]gmail.com
9. Scenario Creation - Some of you will love these unique and fun scenarios and others will not. What one Member might consider a perfectly playable and enjoyable scenario another might deem unwinnable and a disaster. Factors such as experience, tactics, and your own positive (or negative) attitude can affect all of this. Please remember that no scenario that has ever been created is universally loved by all. Just have fun!
