RE: Anvil of Victory Tournament
Hi Scott
This is an explanation of mirrored scenarios by our esteemed Dog Soldier :cool:
Mirrored games are when gamers play the same scenario twice, once as each side (Axis and Allied). This a method to remove any bias the scenario has for one side or the other.
For the purpose of this tournament, it is important that you play both games at the same time. The length of the scenarios could become a problem if you try to play them "end to end". For PzC scenarios, only one side receives victory points (VP). That side is referred to as the "first side" the player that makes the first move. The scenarios rate the level of victory on how many points the first side accumulates. This tournament will be judged on the total victory points accumulated.... so be sure to play both games in each round to stay in the hunt.
It is also a great way to play regular games as many scenarios are designed for only one side to attack and the other to defend. A mirror match allows both players to have a turn as the attacker and defender.

In the Anvil of Victory Tournament the scenarios won't be mirrored so whoever gets the highest total of victory points either Allied or Axis will win the scenario. I just tack the names of the players onto a dart board on the wall behind me and toss a dart over my shoulder and yell Allied or Axis and that is the side the player gets to play.... If the dart hits a name that is ;)
