EVENT OVERVIEWThis event coincides with the release of WARMACHINE: Vengeance and allows players to earn Vengeance points over the course of the day in a casual, open-play environment.
The official event packet can be found here. Most of the relevant rules will be outlined in this post, but it's recommended that players read through the packet before or during the event.
This event will allow both Warmachine and Hordes armies but it's important to note that the awards (coins) will only be awarded to players representing Warmachine factions.HOW THE EVENT WORKS:This event uses a open-play format that awards players Vengeance points for accomplishments in games, army construction, and modeling. In an effort to keep the event "fair" all games must be played at the same point level; we're going to go with 35 points.
Score sheets will be provided to track points gained by fulfilling certain requirements (listed below). All games should be played using
the event scenario. There is no limit on the number of games a player can play during the course of the event. Come down, play some games, earn some points, meet new people, and win some brand new coins!
