Warhammer 40K Winter Escalation League Begins January 10th!

It will be a 12 week escalation league, with each point limit lasting for two weeks except the last two.

-The league starts on the 10th of January and ends the 1st of April. Players can participate in a maximum of two games per week for league ratings in order to keep scoring balanced for those players that cannot play as often.

-12 Week League, $12 League Fee (Please make sure to pay your league fees before you play your first league game). The best record of the 12 weeks, so getting the maximum game time is very helpful for standings. If there are ties for winners then there will be one last tournament, points and scenario decided by us.

-Call ahead to reserve a gaming table for yourself and your opponent to guarantee your space. Monday nights will be the official league night, which guarantees the most room players to schedule your games. Games played during the weekdays cannot start any later then 7pm. Sunday games will be scheduled in two shifts, 12-3pm & 3-6pm. If you plan to play a game on any day that is not Monday, you must call and reserve a space.

-All League games must be played in the store.

-If you can’t attend a scheduled game, you must notify your opponents 3 hours in advance to avoid default. If you don't your opponents get an automatic win.

-Models must at least be assembled; all units must be represented by an appropriate model/s. If there is something in your army that is not WYSIWYG, you must inform your opponents. Paper, cups, plates, etc..., are not allowed to be used as models. If you don’t have a model to represent it, you can’t field it. You are allowed to proxy (bring in a different model to represent a certain other model) if you do not own the exact model.

-As new 40k Supplements come out, we will incorporate them into the league. You MUST have a copy of the rules with you at the game (GW Standard). Make sure to have your own dice, ruler, and templates.

-As always there will be a Sportsmanship award.

Special Rules:
Every two weeks will represent a certain point cost and scenario. At the end of the first week of any given scenario and point cost, players will switch sides (i.e. if during week 1 you were the attacker, during week 2 you would play the defenders). Players can play a maximum of two games during each week.
