 ARMY COMPOSITION AND SPECIAL RULES

See CoK pack for full wording, in summary: 

• Cursed and Ahmunite Pharoah are reduced to Def 5. 
• While Disordered, units lose Fly. Note that this also means they lose the Nimble that Fly provides too, unless they have it by another means (such as Individuals). 
• Within your main force, you cannot select the same unit entry of type War Engine, Hero or Monster more than 3 times. 
• If you include allies, you cannot select the same allied unit entry of type War Engine, Hero (all types) or Monster more than once.
• Magic artefacts cannot be given to any allied units you take.
• Additional scenarios of Control and Push may be used.

SCORING

Each game will be played against a random predetermined scenario from the rulebook or CoK pack (Control and Push)

After a game Tournament Points (TP) will be assigned based on the result as follows:

Victory                        15 TPs

Draw                           10 TPs

Loss                             5 TPs

Time out/Concede       0 TP (with no bonus for attrition score)

Margin of Victory
This is the difference between the total number of points the players have Routed of each other’s army. This difference in totals adjusts the Tournament Points by a positive or negative amount. This means that you may score a victory, but should your army be decimated by your opponent, that victory will be a hollow one.
Once the difference in points is known, consult the table below for the adjustment to both players’ scores:

Bonuses/Penalties

Late list submission will be penalised 1 TP per day after due date (max 3 TP).

Armies meeting a 3 colour minimum paint and basing standard will gain 2 bonus TPs. There will be no penalisation for unpainted miniatures.

Final tournament placing will be decided on TPs, with cumulative margin of victory used to in the event of a tie.

Crowd at the Table

If one player feels discomfort with amount of spectators present at their table, they may request them to step aside. When this happens, a referee will ask everyone around to step away from the table.
