Without having tested them its hard to say but it seems to me that Mission 1 favors smaller more elite armies, and Mission 2 favors assault armies and even scenario three makes smaller elite armies viable for the battle.

With so little time to test before the games I dont know how many people will have a chance to shift armies but this really seems like Vulkan Marines with multiple assault termies shoud do very well.

Happy:

I really like round 2's objective setup. Good way to inject some tension into the tried and true objective mission.
Round 3 is suitably climatic. A struggle for the center, with the Semi's on the line. Take it or lose.
I even like Round 1 punishing troop heavy armies. They got a pass in the initial round, time for the other shoe to drop.

Sad:

Ugh, round 2 is an objective mission with nonrandom game length. Guh! Lasherrific.

After looking at the scenarios, I'm second guessing my army choice and being tempted to switch armies, rather than merely tweaking the list I used for round 1.

Is there any reason why I wouldn't be allowed to switch armies between rounds?

No reason at all. Alot of people have been talking about taking a different army to the semi-finals. The ticket you recieved is just tied to you and that email address. I don't even think there was a spot on the sheet the TO had me fill out that said what army I was playing. Just the scores from the games.

Heh! I've been making tweaks and twitches to my army for weeks, now. Heck, I even have been (Gasp) converting minis to match my list!

Yes, it will be clear the poodle leading the army is lame, and that the bloodthirsters know its the boss...

Scenario 3:

A troop unit can claim the center objective and a single table quarter, an enemy non-scoring unit in the same table quarter does not contest the quarter but could contest the objective in the center of the table. Is that correct?


Scenario 1:
The amendment for Tie games = KP 5 or less than opponent wasn't posted up there.


BTW I've now played all 3 scenarios, I think they are very good. (Meaning I've haven't lost yet, haha!) Now watch me get slaughtered tomorrow :p

Still hoping for a last minute clarification on the Deff Rolla issue. Or is it intentionally being avoided?

You should expect it not to work, and then ask the TO of where you are going which way they will rule it. But don't expect any official ruling. They are avoiding it.

I'm running a regional. In the packet I got, they had a couple of clarifications.

Ork Deff Rollas: These will be able to be used for both Tank Shocking and Ramming.

I looked at the website a few minutes ago. The scenarios still did not have changes posted, including the rolling for markers at the game end of scenario 2.

Was the deff rolla rulling in the packet or is this just the announcment you are making for your region?

With thanks,

Yep, that ruling was in the packet.

Wow. I have to continue to give John amazing credit on this. He listens, he responds.

Dunno if anyone asked but when it says "hq choices" does it mean things in hq like farseer and warlock squad or just things that take up a force org chart slot for hq?
