If you don’t play regularly but are maybe tempted to join the rapidly growing WW3 Team Yankee community, want to try out a new army, or are even an experienced player who’s prepared to play a friendly army and help newer players, this is the perfect one-day event.
The previous DEFCON2 events have proved to be extremely popular due to the event format being designed to keep it as beginner-friendly as possible – full details are available in the downloadable rule pack at the bottom of the page but, as a general outline, it will involve:
1. Players using small armies of 50pts
2. No painting requirements – just build and play (although painted miniatures are very welcome)
3. Friendly opponents who are either newer players themselves or players with more experience but who want to help tutor others
4. Extended rounds that give time to play at a friendly pace without the pressure of watching the clock
5. Restricted participant numbers to help prevent newer players feeling overwhelmed.
6. DYNAMIC POINTS WILL BE IN PLAY FOR THIS EVENT

RULES AND REGULATIONS
If there is an odd number of players, that player can choose to take a bye, if so that player gets an 8-1. A ringer is a player who participates to fill in for an odd number of participants but is not eligible to win any category in the event.
Players must bring 3 physical copies of their list.
Players should record on the left side of their score sheet the table they play on.
Players are responsible for monitoring the time and the judges will announce time intervals throughout the tournament.
Slow play is to be actively discouraged, repeated offences may result in loss of points or forfeited matches. If you cannot play a game to completion due to size/compliment or familiarity with your army, you might want to revisit your choice. Most players should be able to complete their turns within 10-15 minutes.
When time is called the game must immediately finish the action with the platoon they are on. New turns cannot be started even if starting a new turn would award an immediate victory or cause a player to make a company morale check. If players do not comply, the game will be scored 1-1 regardless of the actual game score.
Painting Competition: Any players in the tournament who wish their armies to be considered for the best-painted award will stage them at the lunch breaks in the designated area with a nameplate on the display. All models in the army must be from Battlefront Miniatures, armies with proxy or 3D-printed models are disqualified. A display board is not judged but is useful for moving your army. Paint judging will be done by peers.

The Tournament will be 35 points and all Team Yankee V2 Books and Oil Wars are allowed.
This will be a red vs blue event. Both sides will face off on one large table. Each player will have a 35pt list made from a single infantry formation. Players must bring one (and only one) tank unit with a front armor of 9+ (before special rules). There are no other restrictions on tank units.
The Triage & Medevac rules from Nam will be available to both sides with the following change: after an infantry team fails its save, the attacking player rolls a firepower check to confirm the kill, otherwise the team receives a wound marker.
Furthermore, players on both sides will have access to medic infantry teams, medevac helicopters, and medevac APCs.
Medevac Teams:
Each formation may include a medic team for 1pt. This team will be rated as Fearless Veteran Hit on 4+. The medevac vehicles will have the same ratings.
Band-aid track: As a support option, players may take a single unarmed APC for 1pt. It may hold up to 4 wound markers. It may discard its wound markers at the end of any turn in which it is in contact with a table edge. NATO aligned player may use an M113 while Warsaw Pact players may use an MTLB (storm) or BMP. Iraq may use the MTLB/BMP, and Iran may use the M113.
Dust-off: players may include medevac helicopter as a support unit for 1pt. Use the stats from the US portion of the Nam book. NATO players may use UH-1s, Chinooks, or Sea Stallions and Warsaw Pact may use Hinds or Hips.
Protective Use: any medical vehicle may be marked with a Red Cross (or Red Crescent or red crystal) for free and receive protection from enemy fire. Infantry medic teams are too small to benefit from this rule. Units may not target red cross marked vehicle team with direct LoS weapons (including the Pereh) or place a ranged in marker touching one. Repeat bombardments are acceptable. No medevac team may fire any weapons or spot for artillery.
Objectives: there will be several dynamic objectives scattered around the battlefield with progressive scoring.
