The format is tournament in style, though as the game has recently been published allowences will be made for genuine mistakes.

Ideally there will be three rounds, although some battles will be taken to be as part of the store campaign. A clear winner will be a fully painted army with the most victories and be awarded bragging rights.

Ideally your army will be fully painted and on the correct bases. As this is the first local event if your army is not on the correct base please be generous with your opponent whe it comes to measuring ranges, movement etc.

Partially painted armies are permitted, with the caveat that the next battle played in store whether casual or not, will be played with more of your miniatures painted.
