Campaign 1 Battle 1
The first battle cycle of the first campaign for the War of the Factions Tournament. A lot of people have worked hard to make this work, so we want to start off by thanking the technicians and contributors for making this possible, along with the commanders for their valuable input. Finally, a big thanks to the PR community for helping us out when needed! Let us have battles that will be remembered! The first battle will allow us to test a lot of features and processes in our tournament, as well as checking if we are right or wrong about assumptions regarding the rules we have set up. Rules, prices and any part of the tournament is up for change to ensure a fun and balanced campaign, so view this as the maiden voyage of this tournament.

Recruits, veterans and (almost) innocent bystanders.
We wish anyone welcome to our tournament; both the Vikings and the Eurasian Exarchate have room for more brothers in their ranks, and fallen soldier must always be replaced. Follow the links below to their respective Recruitment Post. What is WotF?
The idea behind the War of the Factions ("WotF") is simple, and borrows mechanics from the real time strategy genre: the commanding officers choose what faction they want to use, along with which vehicles they want to field for a certain battle. Every asset costs a certain amount of points, and whatever points are left after the CO's have finished shopping is used as tickets during the actual battle. To add further depth, commanders may also adopt different doctrines, such as fixed wing, armor or mechanized infantry, which alters the cost of certain assets. There are of course some map limitations, because it's pretty damn hard to land a F16 on Fools Road, but other than that the possibilities are almost endless.

The goal
Both teams will try to push the other out of the campaign map. Whichever team is pushed out loses making the other the tournament champions. Several battles will be fought giving the defender a bigger advantage in both the ability to choose the next map as well as more tickets available for the asset purchases and the battle itself. To win the team has to make sure they win with enough ticket advantage to keep the rounds balanced, as well as win on what will be the defending teams attempting to gain advantage on both starting position and map selection. It will not be easy and this tournament require you to want to win. Players will need to know the ins and outs of the Project Reality vehicles, weapons and maps.

Should be public.

Looks like this tournament might be fun-ish. Vikings already beat both teams from the PRT, guess one little EE team will fall too.

Battle starts in 35 min!

Yep, we do prefer to have two balanced teams that grow and improve together instead of the usual steamrolling. The fun is in the challenge and there is none without proper balance.

I'm glad that both tournaments are running smoothly and that players can choose which one best suits them.

Didnt PAC win all the battles against EMF?

I like the good relationship between the tournament teams and I really enjoyed all the training battles against the PRT teams so far.

The result of the battle does not always show how balanced it was. Both battles were balanced in terms of tickets and KD for more than half of the round. In the end, one of the teams has to win, but the balance is in how that happens and how fast it ends. The second Prep-Battle took more than 3 hours to end. I think that speaks for itself.

The Vikings had the following assets after the battle:
2 Harrier AV-8B - 90
1 GMG HMMWV - 8
1 LAV 25 - 20
3 M35 Logistics - 12
1 HMMWV Up Armoured HMG - 6
1 HMMVW - 2
1 AAV Avenger - 12
=150+494=644

This means for the next battle they have an extra 644 tickets in the battle in addition to what they receive from the rules.

The Eurasian Exarchate had the following assets after the battle:
1 SA-341H Gazelle - 3
2 UAZ-469 HMG - 6
1 Shilka - 8
1 Gopher - 8
= 25 tickets

This means for the next battle they have an extra 25 tickets in the battle in addition from what they receive from the rules.

Was fun, looking forward to the next match.
