Hello!
Hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend!
Well, we’ve been busy here setting up for Steamroller! This is a turning point for us- we’ve hosted 2 “Shattered Grounds” leagues (Windless Waste and Thundercliff Peak) and we’re working our way towards “Summer Rampage!” If you can’t make it here for Summer Rampage, then I hope to see you at our next league called “Rotterhorn” which starts Saturday, June 25, 2011 at 1 PM and runs for 4 weeks!
Regards,
Roy Kim

3. ROUNDS:
*We will continue to play until we have an undefeated player. For example, if 8 people show up, we will play 3 rounds.
*Each round will have a base time of 80 minutes PLUS a variable amount of time (d6 x2 minutes)
*I cannot announce the variable or reveal the amount of time remaining in the round
4. TIMED TURNS:
*Each player will have a timed turn of 10 minutes, once that elapses the other player ill immediately start his turn
*If a player is in the process of moving a model or making a single attack when his turn time expires, finish that action (and resolve damage if it occurs), then that player’s turn ends
*If a player takes a significant amount of time on their opponent’s turn, the player whose turn it is has the option of stopping the clock while these actions are resolved
5. TURN EXTENSION:
*Once per game, a player may extend his turn length with a 5 minute turn extension
*A player can do this by declaring that he is using his turn extension during his turn or within 30 seconds after his current turn has ended
6. REPORTING RESULTS:
*Please do not yell or scream your results after you’ve finished- there are other people trying to concentrate on their games
*I will come to you and ask for your result once everyone has finished playing- please do not try to report your result while I am helping another customer, in the bathroom or on the phone
*When you report your result please let me know:
A. Who won
B. You and your opponent’s Attrition Scores
C. You and your opponent’s Survival Scores
*Attrition reflects the amount of points of your opponent’s army that you destroyed. Keep in mind:
A. Units below 50% of their starting umber (round up) are worth 50% of their army points (round up) including all attachments
B. Inert warlocks and wild beasts count for full army points
C. Warcasters and warlocks are worth 5 army points
*When calculating the point value of the model use the values printed on the model stat card even if that model was brought in to the army via other meansor if the model received a discount during army-building
