When are the other battles? And what factions will they have?

You can find all information regarding the maps and their asset layout here.

There will be custom maps and factions, and after each battle, the losing team will pick faction.

What is the Contact! Tournament?

To start off, there will be two teams, fighting over the course of 2 preparation and 7 regular battles. Battles will occur every other week with teams getting points added towards their total based on their performance.

The preparation battles will not count towards winning the tournament, but give teams the ability to fix any problems they may have before the official start of the tournament.

What factions and maps would we play?

This will not be like your conventional PR game. We will use vanilla maps with custom assets pre-determined to ensure balance. So you might see Israel vs China on Muttrah with both sides having a tank or Germany vs France on Kashan with 6 tanks on each team. These are just two of the thousands of possibilities we have to work with.

All the maps are made in an easy to download file which is available for for everyone to download and install.

What are the victory conditions?

While the victory of the battle is decided by who has more tickets, the tournament victor will be determined by total amount of points, which can be achieved from taking flags as well as winning the battle. More information can be found here.

What does the winner get?

You get absolutely nothing except bragging rights and fond memories of the time you had playing.
