Heya Dakka Dakka,

I was wondering if anyone knew what we need army-wise to participate in the season of war event. My FLGS is hosting it and has no details as of yet, and it is due to start on the 14th so I am trying to get ready.

I would ask for a point value but I am not even sure if it will be using the details from the newer book.

Thanks in advance!

Hey there.

I'm not sure if I am supposed to share these at length, but i'll give you the broad strokes.

Week 1's Scenario requires any size game, but a minimum of three units that have ten-models each, per side. This is definitely the most restrictive week.

Week 2 requires at least one Hero, and I would suggest it be a fighty-one if possible.

Week 3 requires at least one Monster, but I suspect two per player will be a pretty typical size.

Week 4 requires 1 terrain piece... so nothing really on your end unless your shop/location has shockingly little terrain.

Keep in mind though that the "week's" are a misnomr as individual locations get to decide which scenarios to run, in what order, etc...

For example, we plan on very rarely running the 1st scenario as our location has quite a few new players, or players with very elite collections, and thus lower model counts.

Thank you, this is exactly what I needed to know!

My pleasure!

Personally the 2nd - 4th week's battle-plans are more welcoming to new players, but I love the mechanics at work in Week 1.

The 4th week is going to be far too easy for player's to break though. I don't want to ruin the surprise, but its like... a defense of the weakest base in history. :-p
