When is this event?

Date added above. Thanks for that. Saturday May 2nd.

Also since the new Archaon book was just released, I should state that we are using normal army restrictions (not unbound).

Wow, interesting twist on things here with the 3500 points. Don't like the terrain rules blocking everything though. I guess its just not the tournament for war machines but monsters will have fun. It will be weird for charges though. Like you can't see through a forest so you can't charge a unit on the other side of the forest I guess? I guess hills work the same way?

Doesn't comp 10 and 12 contradict each other or are you allowed to enter the folding fortress only?

Hey Polybus, great questions. I'll do my best to answer them.
For the terrain blocking line of sight, that is meant more for buildings and hills (similar to the ETC rules set). You can see through a forest normally.

For comp 10 and 12, you would only be able to enter the folding fortress. Other buildings in the table are for scenery and not able to be occupied.

So yes, this means that monsters live a little longer if they hide behind a building or hill. but war machines will still deal their fair share of damage
