General Notes 

We are playing with rules & Lists from the COK 2025 book (with the exception of Command Dice – see below) which are current in the Mantic Companion App - https://companion.manticgames.com/ 

The event is specifically designed for new players. Friendly and thoughtful behaviour is expected. We aim for everyone attending to have as much fun as possible, and we are all part of making that happen. This event is welcoming and inclusive. Anti-social or unfriendly behaviour is not wanted. Many in attendance have built and painted their first ever army, and this event is a celebration of their achievement. 

We have support from Mantic for some Mantic vouchers. 

The available prizes are below. Prize Voucher amount Best painted army Trophy Best painted army -New Player Trophy + QH! voucher 

There will be awards and a raffle for Mantic Vouchers

IMPORTANTLY, please submit balanced, new player friendly lists. If you wish to bring an additional, more competitive list, please feel free to bring it as well. Communication is the key. If you and your opponent are both experienced players then you may discuss it before a game and mutually agree to play with “unbalanced” lists. Newer players should only play against balanced lists. Challenges for the first round, will be accepted (please contact the organisers). Otherwise, we will attempt to match players according to experience for the first round, with the intention of making sure everyone attending has as much fun as possible. Painted armies are availableF to borrow if you don’t have one, but please give us as much notice as possible if you would like to borrow an army. You can let us know a preference and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Please play with Chess Clocks (a free chess clock app is available for download on IOS or Android).

Impassable terrain- height 6

forests- height 6

hills- height 3, 

obstacles- height 2. 

Terrain will be pre-placed. If you believe that something may have been moved from the previous game, please ask the organiser. The goal is that each board should be balanced and fair i.e. that the roll off to pick sides should not have a significant impact on the result of the game. 

No withdrawal. No Command Dice. 

If you have any rules disagreement, or any type of disagreement, please immediately contact the organiser. In rare edge cases where the rules are unclear we will resolve issues with a D6 (1 player decides on a 4+) role. No deliberate slow play, trash talking or any other detrimental behaviour to impact the result will be tolerated.

 If players have any special requirements or concerns, please let the organisers know in advance.

Scenario 1: Loot P72

Before rolling of to choose sides, place three Loot Counters on the centre line of the board. One must be placed in the exact centre of the board (or as close to it along the centre line as possible), and then players place one more each, rolling of to see who places theirs first. Loot Counters cannot be placed within 12” of each other or within 3” of Blocking Terrain.

Victory Points are awarded at the end of the game as follows:

1 Victory Point for each Loot Counter you hold.

Scenario 2: Dominate P72  (MODIFIED Scoring, please read)

At the end of the game, add up the NUMBER OF UNITS that have the majority of their footprint within EIGHT ” of the centre of the playing area. That is your Victory Point score. Your opponent does the same and you compare scores. (we have changed this from the book, and the range of the scoring zone is shorter than the book).

Scenario 3: Salt the Earth P74

Before rolling of to choose sides, place one Objective Marker in the exact centre of the board and then the players take it in turns placing Objective Markers until both players have each placed three Objective Markers. Roll of to see who places the first Objective.

After a player has completed their Turn, they can choose to destroy any Objective Markers which they control (except for the Central Objective). Repeat this process at the end of each of the player’s Turns until the end of the game. Destroyed Objective Markers are removed from play and have no influence on the rest of the game.

Victory Points are awarded at the end of the game as follows:

1 Victory Point for each Objective Marker still in play that you control.
