General Rules

Rules of conduct
It is not allowed to bring your own food to this tournament. Drink and food is available in the store at reasonable prices. If you get in an argument with your opponent, roll a die. If that doesn't solve the problem, call in a judge to make a ruling. The judge always has the last word in these matters. Terrain is placed by the organisation beforehand, and may not be moved during the tournament. If by a spell or other effect the terrain will move during the battle, make sure that the terrain is placed back at it's original position. If you think that the terrain is arranged wrong, consult a judge. It is allowed to make beautiful and large models as a conversion, but line of sight is always measured as if the model was a basic model of Games Workshop. Make sure that you tell your opponent what your model is, and where it's line of sight is. If you get into a discussion because of this, call a judge. The use of incomplete models, replacements (proxies) and or empty bases is not allowed. All lists are open lists. So remember your opponent may always inspect your list, before/during and after the game. This tournament will use the ETC FAQ for rules disputes. See addendum 2. Remember that the ETC uses different rules for terrain. You can find these rules at: http://pl.scribd.com/doc/134855103/Rules-for-Terrain-at-ETC-2013 The summary of these rules are: Blocking Terrain: Hills, Buildings and Impassable. Blocking Terrain blocks Line of Sight and is considered infinite height for this purpose. Interfering Terrain: Forests. Interfering terrain does not block Line of Sight, but provides Cover for units shooting troughthem, except for units shooting from them (i.e. with majority of models in the feature inquestion). Non-interfering Terrain: Lake, Obstacles and Ruins. Non-Interfering Terrain does not block line of sight. Might give cover to some units in somecases, as explained above, or in some special rules for the army.

Army Building
All lists are made using the ETC comp with 2400 points. The current ETC comp is included in addendum 1. Read this carefully! If you have questions about building your army with this comp send an email to brunchandbattle@gmail.com and we will be happy to help you figure it out.

Awards
The following awards will be handed out at the tournament: Best General (most victory points) First runner up (second most victory points) Second runner up (third most victory points) Best painted army (only fully painted armies will be considered for this award)

Scoring points
Because this is a practice event for the ETC there will be no bonus points for painting or sportsmanship. There will be an award for the best painted army. For each battle, you can score up to 25 victory points. The winner of the tournament is the player with the most total victory points after three battles. You get a 5 point bonus to your total victory points if you send in a clear army lists before the deadline.

Sportsmanship
We want everyone to have a nice tournament, sportive opponents are a great part of that. Therefore we want to discourage unsportsmanlike-like behaviour. Any player displays unsportsmanlike behaviour, gets a warning from the judge. This results in a 10 point penalty to your totall victory points. If the same player gets a second warning, he is disqualified for the remainder of the tournament.

Army Lists
Army lists have to be sent to the organisation before 1 april 2014. The army lists should be sent to

brunchandbattle@gmail.com
This is to check the lists for errors, and to give the players the chance to adjust their armies if they aren't legal. If your army list is legal, and handed in on time, it will give you 5 points on your total score. We have no specific requirements to the army lists except for the fact that all upgrades, magic items, weapons, unit upgrades and wargear should be written down, with their respective pointvalues. Make sure that the lists are clear and easily readable. We accept the ArmyBuilder layout. Accepted formats are: .pdf, .doc, .xls (Excel), .txt and .html Remember, a correct army list, that has been handed in on time, gives you 5 points!

Command points
For every battle you play, you can earn a maximum of 25 points. So, during the 3 battles of the tournament you can earn 75 points by playing battles.

Addendum 2 FAQ 1 Deployment and Start of the Game 1.1. Q: When do you declare whether something deploys unusually? A: Before deployment, decide which and how units will be deployed. If both players have unusually deploying units, roll-off and alternate declaring before deploying anything

1.2. Q: How are we to interpret the rules for choosing spells - i.e. when can you double a spell? A: Due to AR Restrictions, a wizard can only have a spell that another wizard in the army also has if it is his signature spell. If he rolls a spell which another wizard already knows, he may swap it under normal rules for it. He may not swap it for a spell another wizard already knows.

1.3. Q: When do I have to generate the spells for my wizards? A: Before deployment. Roll-off and alternate the spell generation for each wizard.

2 Movement Phase 2.1. Q: Are virtual pivots allowed? A: Yes, pivoting models may ignore any obstructions when pivoting, as long as they abide by the 1 rule at the end of their pivot.

2.2. Q: What happens when a unengaged unit is within 1 of another unit or an impassable terrain? A: Treat it as it is 1 apart to that particular unit for the duration of the move. This means that you can end up within 1 of that unit.

2.3. Q: While charging, do I have to maximize frontage or supporting attacks? A: No. you only have to maximize number of models in base-to-base contact.

2.4. Q: Can multiple characters charge out of the same unit in one turn? A: No.

2.5. Q: Can a character charge out from the second rank? If yes, whats his Line of Sight? Can he start wheeling inside the u nit? Can he charge if he cant clear the unit before hitting the enemy? A: Yes. His Line of Sight is the one of the model(s) directly in front of him. He can wheel and move inside the unit but must completely leave it to finish the charge.

2.6. Q: Is closing the door a wheel? A: No. The rulebook contradicts itself occasionally.

2.7. Q: Can an already engaged unit ever close the door? A: No. A charge requiring such a maneuver will fail or be an illegal charge declaration.

2.8. Q: What is an impossible charge? A: For considering whether a Charge is possible take into account the current position of charger and target, as well as any already declared charge or reaction.

2.9. Q: Do characters charging out of a unit with a bonus to a charge move benefit from the bonus? A: Yes.

2.10. Q: Non-marching character joins a unit that marched. Can the character shoot? A: Yes.

2.11. Q: Can a character leave a unit after it performs a swift reform? A: No.

2.12. Q: Because of the rule that forces characters to go on the front rank, can a character exceed its normal movement distance when he joins a unit? A: If you can reach a legal (front rank) position with your normal movement distance, you must do so. If not, you can exceed this limit to achieve a legal position, but moving as little as possible.

2.13. Q: Can you Fly over a Vortex? A: No

2.14. Q: What happens when you successfully charge a unit which is destroyed before the charger moves into base contact or before the Close Combat Phase? A: Finish the charge before removing the charged unit. The charging unit counts as being in close combat and will count as having destroyed its enemy in the Combat Phase.

2.15. Q: How do you take into account the Free Reforms made during a move? A: They dont count towards the spent movement (measure the movement starting -to-endpoint as per GW FAQ), but you must be able to actually perform them.

2.16. Q: How exactly do you work out if a unit is in the front/flank/rear for a charge? A: Work out the total amount of front rank models bases in each zone, including any fractions. The unit counts as being wher e the majority of that lies. If unclear, call a judge.

2.17. Q: How do you measure the movement spent by Skirmishers or Fast Cavalry that makes an attack during its movement (Like Screamers, Terradons or Hexwraiths)? A: Measure the distance that each individual model moves, from its starting position to a position where it is over/through the target unit and then to its final, legal position. The total distance a model moved cannot go over their movement value (or double that value if marching). Terradons and Screamers still need only 1 model to move over the target unit for all the models to attack.

2.18. Q: Is a unit forced to charge multiple units, if it can pivot in such a way as to force the defender to close the door and avoid in this way charging multiple units? A: No, if defender can close the door to avoid the charger charging multiple units, it must do so. 3 Magic Phase

3.1. Q: Does Steed of Shadows work on mounted heroes? A: Yes.

3.2. Q: What Leadership value does a model use while under Okkams Mindrazor? A: Its current Leadership value, including any modifier or Inspiring Presence. Mounts use riders Leadership, as per BRB.

3.4. Q: Can direct damage spell templates be placed with the centre out of a unit? A: Yes, but some part of the template must touch a target unit

3.5. Q: How do spells (Dwellers/Purple Sun) that make a characteristic test affect multi-part models? A: Each part of the model individually passes a test on its own characteristic or suffers the effects.

3.6. Q: Does a character get the 4+ Look out Sir! against spells that cause hits? A: No, you only get 4+ Look out Sir! versus magic against templates.

3.7. Q: How do the old lores spells work with the general casting restrictions? A: Unless specifically stated otherwise, they cant be cast into combat, dont require front arc or line o f sight, and can target both friends and enemies.

3.11. Q: Is Winds of Magic rolled before or after applying any items/special rules (which does not generate power or dispel dice) that are triggered at the start of a Magic phase? A: Active player decides.

3.13. Q: Net of Amyntok. Can a unit retry the same action until it succeeds? Does a character failing the test prevent other characters from trying to do the same action? Can it prevent actions that are not movement, shooting or casting? If a character tries to do an action, who takes the test and the hits? Does a fleeing unit count as fleeing if he fails the test and is unable to actually flee? A: No. No. No. The character takes the test but the unit takes the hits, except if the character was trying to leave the unit. Yes, bump it 1'' away from combat if there were no pursuers.

3.14. Q: What Leadership value do you use with regards to Spirit Leech? A: The highest Leadership value within the unit, without any modifiers or Inspiring Presence.

3.15. Q: Will the Curse of Anraheir make a unit treat Open Terrain as Dangerous Terrain? A: Yes.

3.16. Q: Can a single casting result in several miscasts? A: No.

3.17. Q: Do champions get Look Out Sir! against Dwellers, Final Transmutation or Dreaded 13th? A: No.

3.18. Q: Do spells ever grant magical attacks to the model(s) benefiting from them? A: No, unless specifically stated.

3.19. Q: Are all hits/effects/damage caused by magical items magical attacks? A: Items that directly cause damage or magic weapons cause magical damage. A Noxious Breath from Black Dragon Egg is not magical. Dragonhide Banner and Wyrmlance breaths are magical.

3.20. Q: Does the order of characteristic modifiers effects (bonus, penalties, and setting it to a certain value) matter? A: Yes, any effect that sets, increases or reduces a stat is applied chronologically.

3.21. Q: What sorts of moves trigger Fulminating Flame Cages secondary effect? A: Any Stupidity failure, Charge, Flight, Compulsory Move, Remaining Move (including spells that work as if in this subphase) Pursuit and Reform. Hidden models are unaffected.

4.6. Q: Can shooting attacks that do not use scatter dice fire in a way that it has a chance of hitting friendly models or models in close combat? A: No, unless hitting friends is only possible due to misfires (such as Doomrocket).
