SCENARIOS
Each round, a d6 will be rolled to determine which scenario is played. Each scenario cannot be played more than once.
Scenario 1: Upon the Field of Glory, using Domination and strategic locations (3) - fixed turn limit
Scenario 2: King of the Hill using Baggage Train secondary - beak point
Scenario 3: Drawn Battlelines using strategic locations (3) and baggage train - fixed turn limit
Scenario 4: close quarters using strategic locations (2) and domination - break point
Scenario 5: chance encounter using special features and baggage train - break point

All games go for 6 turns except for break point missions, where the game ends either after 6 turns or once break point is reached.
GAME RESULTS
Players should record their scores on Best Coast Pairings.
We will be using a WLD system where a differential of over 300 points is considered a win. 3 tournament points for a win, 1 for a draw, 0 from a loss.
When there is 15 minutes left, players should discuss if they have time to start a new round. If the round time finishes before the game finished, we will roll-back scores to the previous Full Game Round for fairness.
GAMESPLAY & SPORTSMANSHIP
This event will be played in a friendly and competitive spirit. Players should be familiar with the core rules and your army rules. Players should be clear to their opponents at all times about what they are doing, for example what their intention is for charge ranges and arcs, what spells they have left to cast, and what dice rolls they are making.
The event is also inclusive for new players who are just starting out with the Old World. Experienced players are encouraged to help new players and remember that they were also a new player once.
If there is a rules disagreement, please read the rulebook first. If you can’t find the answer, ask one of the experienced players in the event.
