Tournament Re-Roll

​

The price of tournament admission includes a "Tournament Re-Roll" that will allow you to re-roll a single dice each game of the tournament (a dice that you personally rolled).  This dice may be one dice out of a set of dice rolled, like Nerve Tests, but only a single dice out of a set can be re-rolled.  This re-roll takes place outside the normal sequence of events and it replaces the original roll and means the re-roll can be re-rolled due to other special rules.  [Example: A melee to-hit dice might have rolled a 2, then you use your tournament re-roll and get a result of 1 that replaces the original result of 2, then if that unit has the Elite special rule the new result of 1 will trigger a re-roll to-hit.] 

​

Game Length & Chess Clocks

​

All games will last for 6 full turns per player with the possibility of a 7th turn being played on a D6 roll of 4+ (the player who finished the bottom of turn 6 will roll this dice).

​

We are allowing 2.5 hours per game with an additional 15 minutes to get score sheets turned in.  Any table that fails to turn in their score sheet on time will have their Sports Score Sheets marked as not maintaining proper time-keeping.  If your opponent is slow-playing, notify a Tournament Organizer ASAP, so we can keep an eye on your game.  If it is obvious just one player is responsible for the slow play only that player will be docked the point.  Any Game that does not complete at least 5 full turns before time is up will result in a loss of Battle Points as if they failed to turn in their scores on time. 

​

Players are encouraged to use a chess clock to prevent their games from running long.  If one player wants to use a clock, then the other MUST accept the clock rules.

Terrain Rules

​

Buildings / Statues = Height 6 (Blocking)

Lava Pools = Height 2 (Blocking)

Hills = Height 3 (Open Terrain)

Walls / Ruined Walls = Height 2 (Obstacles)

Crops & Rocky Ground = Height 1 (Difficult)

Forests (Trees, Bamboo, Tall Grass, Jungle Plants) = Height 7 (Difficult)

Koi Ponds = Height 0 (Difficult, a unit that is Height 3 or less and that has 50%+ their unit base on the terrain may gain cover from enemy shooting)

Torii Gate = Height 0 (Blocking Terrain, Special Rules)

• Treat the flat ground under and around the Torii Gate as Open Terrain for units with the Individual special rule.  All other units treat the entire Torii Gate terrain piece as Blocking Terrain.

• This terrain feature does not block line of sight or provide any cover.

​

When deploying terrain make sure to confirm with your opponent what each piece is, so there is no confusion.  You may choose to play any of the terrain as a different height than the default above if both players agree that it would make for a better game; if you don't both agree then you must use the default rules above.

​

Terrain Placement

​

Before the game you and your opponent will place the terrain on the battlefield following these rules:

• Dice-off to determine who begins; highest places the first piece.

• Terrain can't be placed any closer than 6" to other terrain.

• Blocking terrain can't be placed within 6" of a board edge.

• Blocking terrain can't be placed within 12" of the center of the battlefield when playing the Dominate scenario.

• The Torii Gate can't be placed within either of the Deployment Zones.

• Hills may be placed in Deployment Zones, but no more than 1 hill can be in each Deployment Zone.

• Obstacles must be placed last and may be placed in contact with other terrain as long as they run perpendicular to the edge of that terrain feature.

​

If the terrain is already deployed according to these rules then both you and your opponent can agree to keep it the same as you found it rather than going through the steps above.
