General Notes

This is likely our last event with 3rd edition rules.
We are playing with rules & Lists from the COK 2025 book (with the exception of Command
Dice – see below) which are current in the Mantic Companion App -
https://companion.manticgames.com/
The event is specifically designed for new players. Friendly and thoughtful behaviour is
expected. We aim for everyone attending to have as much fun as possible, and we are all part
of making that happen. This event is welcoming and inclusive. Anti-social or unfriendly
behaviour is not wanted. Many in attendance have built and painted their first ever army, and
this event is a celebration of their achievement.



Impassable terrain- height 6
forests- height 6
hills- height 3,
obstacles- height 2.
Terrain will be pre-placed. If you believe that something may have been moved from the
previous game, please ask the organiser. The goal is that each board should be balanced and
fair i.e. that the roll off to pick sides should not have a significant impact on the result of the
game.
No withdrawal. No Command Dice.
If you have any rules disagreement, or any type of disagreement, please immediately contact
the organiser. In rare edge cases where the rules are unclear we will resolve issues with a D6 (1
player decides on a 4+) role. No deliberate slow play, trash talking or any other detrimental
behaviour to impact the result will be tolerated.
If players have any special requirements or concerns, please let the organisers know in
advance.


We have support from Mantic for some Mantic vouchers.


IMPORTANTLY, please submit balanced, new player friendly lists. If you wish to bring an
additional, more competitive list, please feel free to bring it as well. Communication is the key. If
you and your opponent are both experienced players then you may discuss it before a game
and mutually agree to play with “unbalanced” lists. Newer players should only play against
balanced lists. Challenges for the first round, will be accepted (please contact the organisers).
Otherwise, we will attempt to match players according to experience for the first round, with the
intention of making sure everyone attending has as much fun as possible. Painted armies are
availableF to borrow if you don’t have one, but please give us as much notice as possible if you
would like to borrow an army. You can let us know a preference and we will do our best to
accommodate you.
