House Rules
If you have a dispute over a rule, you can agree it amicably between yourselves or call over Paul or Wayne. Our judgement is final regardless of whether it is correct or not. Be warned, we tend to err on the side of rules as intended.
Army Painting and modelling
All models used should be fully painted miniatures of the appropriate type for the troops they represent. Conversions and kitbashes are actively encouraged, as long as they clearly represent the unit intended. If you are in doubt, please contact Paul on paulmarshallsay@btinternet.com.
Models must be based on correctly-sized round/oval bases.
Models not painted or based will not be removed as casualties but will incur a one win penalty. You can still play but you will not win. Paul and Wayne reserve the right to use a smaller penalty if your effort is clearly derisory.
Armies will be judged for the Best and Coolest Army Awards whilst on the tables. Watch out for Wayne wandering around. If there is any reason you do not want your army considered (eg you did not paint it!), then let us know.
Registration and army lists
In advance of the weekend (at least a week before as lists need to be in by then), you will need to register on LONGSHANKS through this link:
You may have to create an account if you haven't already got one. Search for the tournament if the link has not taken you there directly. There is no submission of lists in advance. Either put your list on Longshanks or bring a printed version for your opponent. Remember - It is your responsibility to make sure your list is legal!
Battle Plans
Before each game, Paul and Wayne will announce a battle plan to use for that game. 4 battle plans will be selected from the General’s Handbook match play options.
Scoring and points
The following system will be used to differentiate players throughout the event.
1. Win/Draw/Lose
2. Victory points scored
3. Victory points allowed
4. Strength of schedule
Scoring
At the end of each of your games, you will complete your scores on Longshanks or come to the desk and tell Paul the scores so that he can record it for you.
Most Sporting Nomination
At the end of your fifth game, you must decide which two of your opponents were the best ones. This will go towards the Most Sporting Award only and has no effect on the outcome of the HGT Champion Award. However, it will have an effect on the Hero of Legend award.
