    Tournament rules

    • The tournament uses the full rules including the terrain and set-up appendices and the latest official Errata and FAQ.
    • Gametime is 3.5h with up to 15 min extratime, secretly determined by the referee prior to the gamestart.
    • After time has been called the game will stop at the end of the current phase when time is called.
    • Army lists must specify the number and size of battle groups and their order of march for deployment, and the number and type of commanders chosen. They should also include the territory list for the army. Once an army list has been submitted it may not be changed or altered other than to correct any errors. Players may only correct their errors by making reasonable changes to their list. It is not allowed to completely re-write the list, and the list checker’s decision on this is final. Any incorrect list discovered after a game has commenced (after set up dice have been rolled) must be corrected prior to deployment if spotted in time, and fully corrected in any case before the next match.
    • Players must fully define their troops as they are placed on table. Figures must provide a reasonably accurate representation of the troops they are trying to represent – they must not look deliberately misleading. In addition, all figures must be representative and painted and based to an acceptable standard.
    • Players must supply their own terrain pieces. These must be to an acceptable standard and the umpire may at his own choice remove unsightly items.
    • Players must be present and ready to start the match at the appointed time. Players may always commence games earlier than the stated time by mutual consent.
