Thread: Kings of War Event Info

If the bags are like most small timers they are only good for 2.5mins. IE egg timers.

Are allies allowed? As the rule book.

As the rule book allows them and I have made no note of not allowing them (and see no reason to) they are allowed.

I would toss in a rule about the player votes to make it same army can't win every month, something like:
Once a army wins player vote it is none elegiable to win again for two more months.

This creates a three month period giving other armies a chance to win. Also gives players time to create new armies and not have same army win all the time.

Read the post carefully.

will vote over lunch for which army they feel was the best representation of that months aspect of the hobby

Each month the particular aspect will change, in theory preventing the same army from being able to win the prize multiple times.

The last thing you want to do is put more pressure on the player and the TO. How many games of KoW have you played your self Matt? Can you answer rules in a timely fashion? I don't think anybody can. Just my thoughts. Save your attitude in your reply if you do I don't need it save it for somebody else.

What is the hobby challenge for the first month? Are these going to posted or just random and announced the day of?

Most likely painting as its something people will recognize. They will be posted beforehand

Looking back that came off more tart than I had intended, sorry Nate.

As Caveman said, the Clocks can be paused in the interest of looking up a rule, I don't know if that's going to stick further on as there are problems with pausing for anything that isnt a phone call or bathroom. could pause to look at the rules whilst actually deciding to charge or not for instance. I don't know how much of that we'll have or if we'll have it at all though. This first month is a test run of a lot of things. (including points for various victories which i need to review)

For the First month I had planned to make chess clocks optional (or at least vote on it after signups).

This just in Mantic has announced hard release for book rules is August 22nd. 20 days till we get books folks.

Aug22 is a Saturday

Ill cap it at Zero. The idea is more of a gamble for a close to draw game or that extra time to claim 2 objectives, not to recover from a devastating loss.

And it's subject to change if players find a way to abuse it.
