What is the Grand War?
The Grand War is a team-oriented series of matches where three factions face each other for the chance at glory! A tournament with a twist, each team is comprised of 6 players which are broken down into 2 squads of 3 per team. The war has 3 primary stages of combat. The main battle, the middle incursion, and the final battle. The main battle is meant to last the longest and serves as the foundation of the contest. During the main battles, there will be smaller missions at specific intervals. What maps they take place on is determined by a dice roll. These matches are meant to be quick and fast fighting. Captains will choose who participates in the missions before they begin.
The outcome of every battle during the war will award points to the winning team. During the war, each team will have the ability to subvert the enemy. This game is meant to involve role play and secrecy. At the end of the war all points are tallied and the winning team will be announced. In this event, every decision and battle matters.
At the onset of the competition, the teams will be constructed (details below) from squads of 3. Each team will have a captain who shall communicate their play to the controller. The Captain has an important role and duty of managing the rest of his team as well as making decisions for the team which will determine the outcome of the war.

• Mercenary players will fight for their employer in missions.
• If a team is unable to provide a player for a mission it is a forfeit.
• Captains will tell the controller if they wish to play an rcard or a role ability during its time of use.
• Missions must adhere to the setup structure stated by the controller.
• Surrender will give the enemy +1 point for each player that surrendered.
• If the total amount of players on a given team surrenders a mission, the enemy team will be awarded the victory of that mission.
• There is no penalty to surrender in the FINAL.
• All matches will be 12H turn limit, except for the final battle. The final battle will be 24H.
• All matches in the event will be team matches.
• All matches will have “fog of war” enabled, unless modified by a game rule.

Restrictions (Rcards)
• NO (UNIT TYPE) ALLOWED- 5 TURNS (anytime)
• NO TANK BUSTERS- 5 TURNS (anytime)
• NO NAVAL UNITS (INCLUDES AMPHIBIOUS)- 5 TURNS (anytime)
• NO TITANS ALLOWED- FULL MATCH (mission setup)
• NO SAPIENS ALLOWED- FULL MATCH (mission setup)
• NO KHRALIENS ALLOWED- FULL MATCH (mission setup)
• BONUS- blocking of any enemy team member from participating in the MIDWAY battles
• JACKPOT- blocking of any enemy team member from participating in the FINAL battles.
** Random chance to obtain a special card: Restrict specific player from participation in middle battle or final battle **
Rules of engagement for restrictions:
• Race restrictions (applied at setup) may only be used once (1x) at the time of a match setup. This only applies to the race blocking category of RCARD.
• Unit restrictions (various kinds) may be used as many times as desired/possible during a match (playable anytime, lasting 5 rounds from a specified starting round).
• If a race restriction is not possible due to locked race selection on a map it does not apply to any player slots that are race locked already.
• The use of a restriction, for which match, and how it is used (what unit type, if applicable) MUST be clearly stated by the initiating captain.
• Failure to follow the rule of a restriction, for each infraction, will award the enemy team points equal to the match value of the game it occurs in.
• If a Captain is choosing to win the Restriction award, its type will be determined by dice roll.
• RCARD will be removed from the team at the time of use.
• RCARDS CAN BE STOLEN, DESTROYED, USED, OR SOLD (+0.5 points each)
• Special RCARD can be acquired when the dice roll average matches the value of the first die rolled. This is called a BONUS throw.
• Special RCARD can be acquired when the dice roll is a jackpot (all 4 dice the same number). This is called a JACKPOT throw.

When raids occur is at the whim of the controller.
Winning a raid will award +0.5 war points.
Losing a raid will award -0.5 war points.
