History shows that the Germans love a good fight and they've proven it again by arranging another MW Event in Hannover next month. Its billed as the German Nationals but its an open tournament so any one from any country can take part. The format is a bit complicated (I would imagine that sealed booster is becoming more and more difficult to support). Here is a summary of the 3 formats:
Rounds 1-4:
600 Pts. Constructed - Restricted (AoD and later)
4 orders per turn
Time Limit: 50 min
Rounds 5-7:
750 Pts. Constructed - Unrestricted (Faction Pure)
5 orders per turn
Time Limit: 55 min
Maximum of 300 Pts of mercenaries and gunslingers
Mercenaries and Gunslingers must be recruited to the chosen Faction
Wolf Hunters do not count as a Faction
Wolf Hunters must be recruited as mercenaries
House Alliances count as faction pure
A Faction Pride costs 25 Pts and can only be used once per turn
“Vindicated” and the never-released Raven are not allowed
For the first 7 rounds, you will need 7 cards. Two of these must be Mission Cards and 2 must be PCCs. The rest can be made up of either Mission Cards, PCCs or blinds.
Finals Top 8 Sunday:
Round 8-10:
900 pts. Constructed - Restricted (AoD an later)
6 orders per turn
Timelimit: 60 min.
Situational Alliance (SA) has to be played
Of each faction there have to be at least 300 pts. minimum (no Mercs/GS)
No Faction Pride!
For the 3 rounds, you will need 3 cards. One of these must be Mission Cards and 1 must be PCCs. The rest can be made up of either Mission Cards, PCCs or blinds.
I'd love to be able to go. I went last year when it was the Europeans and got to play against not just the Germans but Elite and Brinxter as well as an Italian player. Having just redecorated the kitchen for Mrs Clare, I would hope that I have enough credits in the system to get away to Germany for a couple of days.
