BAC Event Rules "Remember We Are Still Testing these"
« on: January 08, 2013, 05:13:39 pm »
The following is the rules as endorsed by the AZW mod team. These do not have to be used but are the advised rule set, may change over time as testing progresses.

One primary difference in these events (BAC events specifically) is that all regiments are required to accept the leadership of a General who will usually be a trusted regiment leader. This general shall command that team through whisper on teamspeak. You must follow his orders, signing up to a BAC endorsed event is taken as an agreement of such. This also applies to the Zulu Amabutho (regiments).

General Rules, pretty basic.

No purposeful teamkilling.
It is appreciated that all regiments show good sportsmanship.
Respect your appointed general regardless of his decisions.
Don't rambo. Once below 4 men in any unit you must join another line.
Must not use incomplete units.

British

Must Be in Formation to Fire.
British mounted Infantry (Frontier Light Horse,Carbineers and Natal Mounted police) may only fire when dismounted, may reload on horse.
1 artillery piece per every 50 British players.
Regiments may only have 2 officers if they number above 20.
No more than 4 playing as sergeant.
May deploy into buildings/defences (crouching and irregular formation).
May not pick up Zulu weapons.
May crouch.


Zulu.

Only 1 Regiment of Sharpshooters, to whom general skirmish rules apply.
All else must play regular Zulu infantry.
No ramboing.
1 Officer per 20 men.
May crouch at any time, use natural cover as needed.
Must not pick up British weapons.



Balancing.

Team balance rules shall be modified and decided upon following testing.

I dont see the use in these rules. Ill be honest and assume most units will not be fielding more than 20 guys. I dont see the point in restricting the number of officers. Besides I would rather attack a line of revolvers rather than rifleman.

Must not pick up British weapons.

I think zulus should be allowed but cant fire out of formation with them. Which makes them almost suicidal when fighting a british line.
Of course, I also think lines should be able to move in double rank without having emotional breakdowns.

That's something to consider, alowing the Zulus to use British weapons, but they must still follow the same rules concerning them as the British.

We did the first ever AZW event today. Zulus weren't allowed to pick up British weapons and it was pretty balanced. I think if they were allowed to then it would have been unbalanced.

It wouldn't give the Zulus any advantage, their weapon proficient with guns is like 200-300 less than the British, they're far more deadly with the javelins. The Sharpshooters also use the exact same guns as the british but have a lot lower WP.

Still. If zulus all picked up guns then it'd be unbalanced.

I think we should say that more than 10 men in a line you have to form a double line, but they can space out.

Forcing a unit to form a double line is a stupid idea. There is no practical reason to make a regiment use that tactic.
