Conquest 2016 - Informationen und Regeln

Conquest 2016

We're back! After a year of forgetting to organise a tournament, Conquest 2016 will take place on Saturday 6/02/2016. This will be the 1st 9th Age tournament in Belgium! The tournament will take place in café 't Peirt, Kasteelstraat 1 9200 Dendermonde.

To register you must send an email with your armylist to kwinten.debacker@hotmail.com and registration is final when you pay your entrance fee of 12 euro on the following account:
KNIGHTS OF BAYARD
BE70 9795 5101 0525
, with mention of your full name (although you can still pay on the day in cash).


9th Age rules

Have no fear, unlike that other game, 9th Age is a lot like 8th edition. It is created to be a more balanced game by the ETC community. The full rules can be found on: http://www.the-ninth-age.com/index.php?simple-page/&s=04ecfa4e6cd579fe56589e800ca7a57b4f2a6dc3

Here you will find the full rulebook, the new Paths of Magic and all the new Armybooks. We will use the the most recent version of the main rulebook and armybooks. (Published up to 2 weeks before the event) There is also this document with some (but not all) of the most important changes : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9699986/An%20idiots%20guide.pdf

Any questions you might have, email to kwinten.debacker@hotmail.com


Army creation

No more than 2400 points can be used to create your army. No further restrictions than those found in the rulebook are in place. As most will be quite new to the game, we will be playing with open lists, so you should go over your list (including magic items) and your army with your opponent before the game. We ask everyone to print out the armybook they are using and bring it with them.

Battles and scoring

3 battles will be played using the classic deployment, without secondary objectives or scenario's. For determining the result of the game, use the Scoring victory points section in the rulebook and consult the table below (ETC 20-0 system)

0-150= 10-10
151-300= 11-9
301-450= 12-8
451-600= 13-7
601-750= 14 -6
751-900= 15-5
901-1050= 16-4
1051-1200= 17-3
1201-1350= 18-2
1351-1500= 19-1
1501+= 20-0


Extra points

You receive 10 extra points if your army is completely based and painted in a minimum of 4 colours. You receive 10 more points if you send your armylist in and pay your entrance fee before 1/02/2016. This means there is a total of 80 points to be collected.

Awards

There will be prizes for the best painted army and for the top X (to be determined).

Food&drinks

We ask you not to bring your own drinks and get your drinks at the bar (I've been assured there will be plenty of Duvel...). There will most likely be sandwiches or something similar for sale during the day. Alternatively you can get something to eat at the bar, in the city centre (provided you are back on time) or bring your own food.
