RULES OVERVIEW FOR WARMACHINE / HORDES STEAMROLLER TOURNAMENT
The comprehensive rules and scenario packet can be found here. (http://privateerpress.com/files/Steamroller_2013_Rules_3.pdf) It is recommended that players read through the rules portion of the packet.
The following changes will be made:
Turn Length will increase from 7 minutes to 8 minutes.
Extension Length will increase from 3 minutes to 4 minutes.
The scenario selection may or may not follow the guidelines presented in the packet.
Rule Books:
The Warmachine Prime MkII and Hordes Primal MkII Rules will be used, as well as all appropriate faction books and the Colossal and Gargantuan supplements.
MODELS AND POINTS:
Each player must bring an army consisting of 35 points or fewer. Each player is allowed to use one of the two 35 point lists they've chosen in each game they play.
HOW THE TOURNAMENT WORKS:
• Competitors will participate in a number of games over the course of the day based on attendance (probably 4). In each game, you will play a scenario and record the outcome of the battle on your Tournament Record Sheet. Each round you will play a different opponent.
• In the first round, players will be matched up randomly. After the first round, players will be
matched up according to current rankings in the tournament (e.g., the player in first place will
play the player in second place and so on). We will try our best not to pair players that come to the event together in the first round. We will also try not to pair the same faction against itself if at all possible. If a player receives a BYE they will be awarded the points detailed in the packet above.
• You will not play the same person twice.
• The pairings for each round will be announced as soon as they are determined. Please be sure to
arrive at your table ready to play right away. We ask that each player be conscious of the
time and that you play at a regular and steady pace to complete the game. Anyone found slow
playing or deliberately stalling for any reason will be penalized.
• Each game will be played on a 4' x 4' board.
• Players will receive Tournament Record Sheets at the beginning of each round. Each results sheet must be filled in properly to ensure that match-ups and point totals are correct. Once Record Sheets are completed they are to be turned in at the counter so the scores can be entered into the computer.
The scenario packet can be found here. (http://privateerpress.com/files/Steamroller_2013_Rules_3.pdf)
