Hey all,
We'll be having a 2250 Pt. 3 round Gladiator-Style Tournament on Dec. 22nd at Epic Loot Games (9130 Dayton-Lebanon Pike Centerville, OH 45458). Starting at 11:30 with 2.5 hr rounds, it will be $10 to enter which will include a pizza lunch. Rules are as follows:
2 Force Orgs are fine. 1 fortification and 1 ally allowed per force org.
Forgeworld lists and units are ok as long as they don't have more than 4 structure points. No formations or strategic assets are allowed. You must have copies of the rules you are using (must be most current) and show them to your opponent before the game starts. You must have the actual forgeworld model or a well done conversion of appropriate size (You can't say your normal Bloodthirster is Angaroth). Any superheavy or gargantuan creature takes up 3 heavy slots in a force org.
There is no painting requirement, but everything must be wysiwig.
Terrain will be pre-placed and will include mysterious terrain.

There will be one of each deployment. The mission will be the same in all 3 rounds. 6 objectives will be placed before the roll for deployment and must be at least 10" from a board edge and each other. Each player will have 3 40mm objectives marked 1, 2 and vortex which they will alternate placing face down. An objective is revealed when a model ends its movement in base contact with the objective.
When an objective marked vortex is revealed, it explodes as a vortex grenade. The objective marker becomes a vortex template and destroys anything it touches (superheavies/gargantuan creatures take d3 hull points/wounds). At the beginning of each player turn, roll 2d6 and the scatter die. The vortex template reappears that number of inches away in the direction of the arrow even if a hit is rolled (nothing in between is effected). The vortex template is removed if doubles are rolled or if it goes off the board.
The objectives marked 1 are worth 1 VP at the end of the game (normal rules to control/contest) and have the skyfire nexus special rule. Objectives marked 2 are worth 2 VP at game end (normal rules to control/contest) and have no special rules.

So total possible points will be 6 for objectives +1 for line breaker and +1 for killing the enemy warlord for 8 total. There is no 1st blood point (too easy in gladiator).
