EVENT OVERVIEW

You’ll play a series of six games or rounds over the event,each will last up to 2 hours and 15 minutes. This includes awarm-up and roster check.

In the first round, players will be matched randomly againstan opposing team. Each round you will play a scenario fromthe Warhammer 40,000 Rulebook; which the events teamwill generate randomly at the start of each round.

Once you’ve finished your game, both teams must fill intheir results cards and then hand them in to the eventsteam. Your results will then be entered into the tournamentdatabase, this will decide the new rankings and ultimatelythe winning team of the Tournament.

In each subsequent round, teams will be facing appropriate

opponents according to their ranking. Should a player drawthe same opponent again, ask a Referee to step in to sortthings so that the players face suitable opponents.

You shall be assigned a table for your game. Anyone thatdoes not have an opponent should raise their hand and callfor a Referee, who will attempt to find an opponent forthem.

If this is not possible and the opponent does not arrivewithin 15 minutes of the start time for the game, thenthey will be considered to be late, and may facesuitable action from the Referees as a result.

Each battle will be fought on a 6" by 4" table with fixedscenery; if you are unhappy with the scenery layout, alert aReferee who will ensure the layout is fair, however theReferee may insist you use the table “as is”.

• Your teams 1500pts army must be made up of 2 Forcesof no more than 750pts each. You may not transferunused points between Forces.

• Any units that don’t take up a place in the ForceOrganisation chart are to be used as per their rules intheir respective codexes, and are not affected by therestriction stated previously for other types of units.

• You cannot use two 0-1 in a combined army of twostand alone Armies; this is breaking the rules slightly, asthe units are 0-1 for a reason.

• 1+ is the same; apply it to the Force first, then across theArmy in a Battle Brothers force.
