OK, how do the "command token points" and Commander's heads figure into the final scoring, if at all?  That wasn't clear to me.  

Scope out the result sheets.  It's literally a "fill in the bubble" situation.  1 point per bubble.

Kill both enemy commanders?  2 points.
Both of yours survived?  2 points.

Didn't use command tokens or both units with command tokens survived?  2 points.
Killed your enemies units bearing command tokens?  2 points.

etc.
etc.

It's identical to previous Doubles tournaments.  :)


Yeah, I get that, I definitely understand how figure out how many Commander's points, command points you've scored.  What I don't get is how those count.  Like, are they functionally the same as Battle points in the end for determining a winner?

Yeah, they're worth a point apiece towards your total Battle Points.  They are essentially "bonus" points used to help stratify the standings.

Wes is looking for a partner and Vance is looking for a partner.

Anyone from Abington looking?


Personally, I'd like to see the dual Necron team of WEScron and NecRON team up again... Especially if Necrons end up being the real deal.


(Chances are there's a bunch of people that haven't yet seen / heard about this event)

Emory and Matt (Susalka) are doing this. Tau and Guard, this is going to be an interesting reversal from my normal tyranids.

Looks like Wes and Vance no longer need partners as they will be running together

Chase question on how "floating" choices work. Ordinarily we have 3 slots for non manditory units like Fast attack or Heavy.

So I get one Fast attack slot. My team mate gets one as well. So can my team mate give up his and I get 2 fast attack slots plus the "floating" one based on what you posted for rules?

Highly interested looking for a parter. I play spacewolves.
So I win right?
You're not even playing.
So I'm winning?
Yes Alley, you're winning.

Nope.

You get 0-1
Your partner gets 0-1
And ONE of you gets an additional 1, if you so chose.

The scenarios packet I've linked to in the original post covers command tokens and their rules.
