So Gentlemen, the draw has been made.

Good luck to you all.

A quick reminder of the participation guide

Participation

Please be respectful to your opponent at all times. If you feel that you have been unfairly treated or insulted, then please report immediately to the organiser with screenshots.

Communication should always be in English unless both players agree to use a different tongue.

Lose of Internet connection or no show
If someone loses internet connection during the game or does not appear at the agreed time, the opponent will wait for an hour. If the member does not turn up or cannot retrieve the connection the game is forfeit and a 20-0 result registered. This is to prevent bad sportsmanship and logging off when losing and making excuses about connection later. An hour should be enough to go to the nearest public wi-fi after all. The opponent is allowed to be exceptionally kind and offer a rematch of course. Please inform the organiser if this is the case regardless.

If two players find out they are unable to match their schedules they are to contact the organisers. There is a potential that a member on the reserve list will be available to compete. If no options are available then both players will be awarded 10 points, this is only available once or at the discretion of the organisers, further misses will result in 0 points being awarded.

If a pair would be able to fight their battle within a week after the deadline they should contact the organizer and they might be given an exception on discretion. Otherwise, if the battle is not played, both players will be awarded 10 points [or 0] as described in the previous paragraph.

If someone's opponent falls silent and ceases to be accessible via PM this then you should inform the organizer. He will try to contact this opponent himself and if this fails as well, the player without an opponent wins 20-0. The opponent that ceased to respond will then be excluded from other pairings until he shows up again.

Scenarios and scoring

In each battle, points are divided between the two players. Up to 16 points are divided based on victory points where 1 battle point = 200 victory points difference. Then up to 4 further points are awarded for scenario objectives as described below.

VP differences

1401-1600 VP - 15-1
1601+ VP - 16-0

Assigned - 4 Sacking the camp
Deployment as per battleline. At the end of the sixth turn, you count how many ranks each player has in the opponent's deployment zone. Characters are ignored (they can beef up the number of ranks of a unit though), incomplete ranks are ignored, if there is a unit with less than one rank remaining (or a lone monster for example) it counts as 0.5 ranks.
The scoring is then as follows:
If both players have the same number of ranks in the enemy deployment zone: each gets 2 scenario points
If a player has at least one rank more: 3 points for him, 1 for the opponent
If a player has at least three ranks and at the same time he has more than twice as many ranks as his opponent: 4 points for him, nothing for the opponent

Yum! KillerK practically altered nothing in his list, as I hoped. Gonna be fun to see whether I can avoid those fliers!

On the armylist it doesnt specify which disclord is the army general? Theres obviously a bulls eye painted on him.

I think we should be forced to announce what character is the General. Almost all of us forgot to do that, including me. But its kinda obvious in my list, my Dreadlord is the only one with LD10 so he has to be my general. For Chrispy, my beloved opponent, its not that easy. He got a lvl4 and a Noble. Both are LD9 and either could be the general.

For your matchup, not such a big deal. But since the general is worth 1-2 scenario points in our case, it is perhaps easy now to at least not pick the guy vulnerable to metal spells :p

KillerK: When do you wanna play!

Also. The terrain piece in the middle of our table - what is it? :/ Very open board. Nowhere to hide from magic missiles

Terrain piece is meant to be a ruined temple.

Daeron,

When do you wanna get down? I'm on the East Coast in the United States.

For several days my PMs don't get delivered and stay in the outbox. Anyone having the same problem?

Sorry, my email notification does not work for some reason. Better now?
Will reply soon.

Great

Well after some returns from holidays we have the 5th Match as well.

3. Table quarters
Deployment as per battleline. The table gets divided in four quarters of the same size. At the end of the game you count all non character units in each of the quarters. The players who has more units in a quarter gets one point, a unit with a banner counts as two. In the case of an equal number of units in a quarter the player with the most banners will gain the point, if this is still equal assign half a point each . A unit cannot occupy two quarters at the same time - the players have to decide simultaneously in which quarter their units actually are before counting begins.

Me and Marchosias will play our game on tuesday 2nd April at 8.00 am CET and everyone is invited to watch.
(I know the time is strange, but unfortunately I won't be home on the much better suited 3rd April)

Short question regarding the match 5 lists: Is a death hag able to wield a magic weapon and an additional hand weapon at the same time?

No, she is not. Unless said magic weapon is a paired weapon, she loses the additional hand weapon benefit.

Ah, forgot to delete that part. I tried to tidy up the list submission as it was straight out of 'battlescribe?' by removing all of the rules.

She is not. This doesnt have anything to do with a Death Hag, but with magic weapons in general. You cannot use more than a single weapon at the same time and characters will always choose their magical weapon over a mundane one.

Let me just remind you that the Watz vs. Marchosias match will be held this Thursday, beginning at 8:00 in the morning central European summer time. It will be thrilling!

- how many elves will die to the greenskin artillery?
- how many goblin characters will be brave enough to challenge the dragon?
- how many terrorgheists will be roaming the sky at the end of the battle?

We will find out soon. Do not miss this!

Live report:

5 hours played, game paused after two and half turns.
In the meantime, I lost an eagle, small silver helms and the majority of the bus. Dragon and phoenix are wounded for two wounds each. Watz lost two spear chukkas and several goblins and savages. I still have my scroll, he has no arcane item left.
In the following turn, he will be able to shoot freely at dragon, phoenix and remnants of the bus with one rock lobba, one doom diver and two spear chukkas. The survivors will be able to charge savages.
In addition, Watz sumoned a cairn wraith that I am successfully ignoring so far. His skeleton archers were destroyed already.

Biggest mistake so far: Turn 1, I failed to cast fiery convocation and forgot I actually had book of hoeth. *facepalm*

Not sure when will we be able to finish this. But I fear it might be quick.

Those orc war machines!
Bottom line: if he can kill the dragon, he'll win big. If he cant, you still got a chance?

More or less. I might have a chance even if the dragon gets down but I would need some serious luck then. Maybe I would be able to destroy the machines and win through magic or something.

What I forgot to say in the previous post: one of the doom divers exploded which makes Watz a more successful destroyer of his troops than I am.

I managed to win against Chrispy. Which games are yet to be played? What are the scores from the other matches? Gimme input!

@Chrispy: Thanks for that game, mate.

Your game is the first finished I believe. Good result for you too.
