The Red Wall Abbey Burrows and Badgers tournament pack
"Redwall Abbey, a red sandstone abbey built after the events of Mossflower. It is home to many of the good animals of Mossflower Woods. Also important is the mountain fortress called Salamandastron, home to the Badger Lords and the famed hares of the Long Patrol, the mountain's army. There are many other places, such as the fortress Riftgard, Loamhedge, and Green Isle. Also, a main waterway is the River Moss. Here is where you and your warband find themselves and the challenge of making your way in this tough world.”
The tournament will consist of four individual games of Burrows and Badgers linked in a mini campaign tournament format, including the post game elements sequence.
The gaming victor will be the warband with the most fearsome reputation at the end of the day (calculated using a combination of overall victory points and warband rating)!
There will also be other prizes available for painting,
The first game will start at 9.45am and we expect to be finished by 17:45, with a 45 minute break for lunch (not provided unless pre purchased with your ticket).
Over lunch players will be invited to leave their warbands to be viewed and scored by other players for the Artists of Redwall prize.

- · Any gaming tools required (dice, tape measure etc)

Single race bonuses apply as per the BRB and additional stats and skills for leader and second are applied again, as per the BRB.

- · Opponents and game boards will be determined on the day by random draw. There will be a number of different size and shape boards, ranging from 2’x2’ to 4’x4’. Scenery will be pre-placed by tournament organisers but players should decide on a starting table edge as per the scenario rules. Scenarios will be pre-determined by tournament organisers but will be different for each round and will all come from the BRB, Oathsworn journals or use the scenario generator attached. Secondary objectives will be randomly determined as per the BRB.
- · Games will be played as per the BRB. Players are encouraged to resolve rules disputes through reference to the rulebook and online FAQs, found on the Burrows and Badgers Facebook page, but tournament organisers are available to settle disputes that cannot be resolved and their decision will be final. Please remember that this is a friendly tournament and whilst winning is nice, it’s not worth falling out over!
