The event will be played at 1000 points, a smaller points limit that is accessible to players who may not have been collecting long or have large armies. For this event, no painting restriction will be enforced, it has a dual purpose of letting players re-try out some units, and get a feel for what they might want to include in their escalation forces, without forcing commitment. 

However, we should note here that a 3 color minimum requirement will be enforced for the escalation. With the focus on reintroducing players and keeping things light, there will be some restrictions in play to keep things simple. 

• For this event Rites of War will not be allowed. This restriction will not be in place during the escalation, and once you can unlock them via centurion, decurions or praetors you can use them 

• A maximum of 1 dreadnought per army. 

• A maximum of 1 vehicle with AV of 14 on any side 

• A maximum of 1 reaction can be made per turn, rather than per phase. Traits that allow an additional reaction in a specific phase, will instead allow a second reaction. However, both reactions cannot be used in the same phase. (This is a trial rule to attempt to reduce the swinginess of reactions on large units in small game sizes only - Feedback will be appreciated after the event) 

To create stories that fit players armies mission selection will be in part chosen by players as best as we can manage. Alongside this event will be a google form, if you are attending, you will be asked to fill out the form, your answers to the questions on the form will help inform the round pairings, including the types of battlefields your force would fight upon, and what they would likely be doing in such occasions. We will then review the list and the attendees, and create matches that work well to create narrative moments. We are aware the majority of our local forces are traitor aligned, so do not be surprised to see clashes between allies of the warmaster as they vie for favor. 

For this event, the missions will be flavoured and themed around specific goals and objectives, however, as the focus is a fair approach to the game, they will be similar in structure to the standard tournament style missions for Age of Darkness.
