frontier wars 728x90 KS

Welcome to the GrogHeads Strike Back!

GrogHeads has partnered with On Target Simulations and Matrix Games to bring a fantastic year-end shootout, with a chance to win some excellent prizes from Matrix Games and the GrogHeads prize vault.

Here’s how it works:

1.  You have to play a game.  We know, right?!  Let us say that again: You have to play a game.  See, you’re loving this contest already.

1a.  Specifically, you have to play this game: Flashpoint Campaigns: The GrogHeads Strike Back

1c.  This is a custom-modified self-contained game and scenario for Flashpoint Campaigns.  This scenario is not available as a part of the standard install, so even if you already have the game (and OTS loves you if you do!) then you still need to download and install this package to play.

 

2.  When you complete the game, you save your final score report, and upload it to the GrogHeads forum in the designated thread.

2a.  Entries that are emailed, faxed, posted, sent by courier, carrier pigeon, or paper airplane won’t count.  You have to upload the entry in our forums, in the proper thread for your entry to be a part of the contest.

2b.  The highest score (percent) will be the grand prize winner.  In the event of a tie, the first tiebreaker is VP locations held, then enemy units killed (see image for scoring order).

ContestScores

You need to capture and post the Staff Summary Report from the end of your game. If your screen doesn’t look like this, you posted the wrong screen.

 

3.  But wait!  Some chucklehead scored 98% of day 2 of the contest!  It’s hopeless!  How can I ever win?  Fear not, fellow Grogs!  Every entry into the contest gets one virtual ticket thrown into the digital raffle hat for a consolation prize.  That’s right, every separate score screen you upload after playing the game gets you another chance to win.  So you might never score out of the 30s – who cares!?  Score in the 30s eighteen different times, and you get 18 different chances to win in the consolation drawings.

3a.  You can also earn an entry to the consolation drawing by “liking” the contest post on Facebook, and another by “sharing” the contest post on Facebook.  2 clicks for 2 entries!  w00t!

 

4.  You keep talking about “prizes”.  Yes, yes we do.  Because we’re just building the suspense.

4a.  How are we doing?

4b.  Still in suspense?

4c.  Can’t wait to find out what you’re playing for?

 

5.  All entries must be posted in the forums, with a forums time-stamp no later than Midnight Eastern (US) Standard Time, Sunday 5 January 2014.  That’s midnight when Saturday rolls into Sunday.  Entries posted or received after that time will not be counted for the grand prize, or consolation drawings.

 

4d.  How’s that ‘suspense’ thing working out for us?

 

6.  Legalese:  At the bottom of this article is the full set of legal terms and conditions.  You participation in this contest is your acceptance of those conditions.  Remember that our in-house counsel is an excellent shot and owns a LOT of firearms.

 

4e.  You’re just waiting to find out what you can win, right?

 

7.  Forum membership is required for submitting your entries.  You must be a registered member of the GrogHeads forums to enter.  But hey, registration is free!  What a deal!

7a.  The official contest entry thread is here

7b.  The official contest discussion thread is here

7c.  Don’t mix them up.  If you post an entry in the discussion thread, it won’t count.  If you post a discussion question in the entry thread, you will be mercilessly mocked.

 

4f.  Prizes?  Oh yeah!  Prizes!  Here’s what you’re playing for:

GRAND PRIZE:  $65 credit at the Matrix Games store – enough to cover a boxed copy of Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm, or any number of excellent titles from the largest publisher of digital strategy games.

CONSOLATION PRIZES:  Four total.  Two winners will get $20 credit to the Matrix Games store.  Two other winners will get random prize grab-bags pulled from the GrogHeads prize vault, with a retail value of at least $20.  Consolation prize winners do not get to pick which prize we send you.  They come out in the order they come out.  

Winners will be notified by message through the forums, and the winners will be announced publicly on 6 January 2014.
