DESCRIPTION & RULES:
"The year is 1085. King Canute IV of Denmark is slain by peasant rebels before he can launch the last great Norse invasion of England. At the same time, William the Conquerer commissions the Domesday book, allegedly to record land value in England.
"This is a lie.
"Canute IV, as he lay dying in St. Alban's Priory in Odense, swore he would have his revenge, and complete his invasion of England. The Domesday book was penned to trap his immortal spirit.
"The year is 1985.
"It has been 900 years since the death of Canute IV. The Domesday book weakens. And on Álfablót of 1985, three three-hundred year cycles after his death, he and his warriors awaken. This time his warriors come not with axes and longships, but with the arms and armor of the modern age!
"The year is 1985. The last Viking invasion has begun!"
. . .
There is room for a maximum of 16 players.
. . .
Fair play and good sportsmanship, as always, will be a key focus of this event (as there may be several new players). Veteran players should take it upon themselves to explain what they are doing and why to any less experienced opponents to reduce confusion, and encourage them to come to future events.
. . .
There will be painting standards for this event! Your army must be at least in primer. If your army is painted to a 3-colors based standard, you will earn +1VP per game
. . .
