Running the Gauntlet
2014 Tournament Packet

Welcome All! Running the Gauntlet is a 4 round Steamroller series geared toward gathering Warmachine/Hordes Players from a multitude of stores to support the hobby and the stores that are carrying Privateer Press products. We want to keep this game going strong! Each Tournament will be 50 points using standard SR2014 rules (Variants). There is a $10 entry fee. The PG’s at the store will post up the particulars for each event after the previous RTG event has been run. The postings will remain on the RTG Series thread. Those PG’s at their home stores will be running their events.

Before you attend the event, go to the Tournament Record Sheet in the SR packet and fill it out before the event, and hand it to the TO on game day. This is to ensure that the event starts on a timely fashion. Print a 2nd copy for yourself. We look forward to seeing you at this series!
