Competitive wargamers, Salty John from TFG Radio here to discuss some important news for LVO 2023 and the FLG Surveys.
Las Vegas Open 2023 is fast approaching! The largest Warhammer tournament in the world is a huge operation with a lot of moving parts and the hard-working team at FLG and those of us who help with judging are always looking to improve. That’s exactly what this post is about, some improvements we are bringing to the players at the Warhammer 40k Championships this year and how we are looking toward the future.
A few days ago Kicker posted our General Survey for 2023. If you attended a Frontline Gaming event last year you should have received an email with a Participant Survey. The two surveys are similar but they are designed specifically so we can hear from not only those who go to our events but those who do not. It is important we hear from everyone, including potential future attendees, to make our events the best that we can!
A piece of feedback we have received for a little over a year was for us to adopt some of the Games Workshop US Open terrain ideas, specifically in regard to the first level of ruins. We are happy to announce we will be following GWs lead on this. At FLG events first-floor openings will be treated by players as if it is closed even if a covering is missing. We believe GW has proven that first-floor openings being closed is the best way to play the game in a competitive way and we are glad to follow their lead. This is not something that applies to every FLG terrain piece, and the Player Packet, when updated, will spell out specifically which pieces it applies to. We are working to avoid the “magic box” problem. When all the terrain changes for LVO 2023 have been finalized they will be added to the Player Packet.
If you have rule questions for the LVO team please use this form, but please read through here first and see if we already answered the question. Duplicate rule inquiries will not be answered again. If you have conversions that you need approval for the LVO 2023 please use this form. As always you can find much of this information in the LVO 2023 Player Packet. Stay tuned to the FLG Network and Facebook groups for more information about LVO 2023 and other exciting FLG news!
