Thread DetailWar-Torn Alliance: Thornwood League; Starting June 23rdTOPIC : Miniatures| Title : War-Torn Alliance: Thornwood League; Starting June 23rd |
By : empryme |
Created :
Tue Jun 19, 2012 02:39 AM | Starting Saturday June 23rd, 2012, Guild of Blades Retail will be hosting season three of the War-Torn Alliance League: Thornwood. For the veterans of the previous season, much of what you were familiar with will be returning. We will have Boasts! We will have the escalating point cap! Prize support is hinged on the number of participating players, but the details are still being worked out at this time.
What is new this season? This season we are going Unbound!! Every player will have the option to participate in 1 one-on-one Unbound game per week and 1 Team Unbound game per week. Team Unbound games can be structured as players decide upon provided that each team has the same number of points (e.g. 150 pts. vs. 150pts.), that a minimum of 150 points per team is used, and that there is the same number of team members on each team.
The league will only be 4 weeks long this time, ending on July 20th with the climaxing event happening Saturday, July 21st.
Further details are as follows:
$8 entry fee with 5 player minimum and 16 player maximum.
Players cannot play against a single opponent more times than the total number of opponents they will have played. For example, player A can only play against player B once because player A have has not played against anyone else; but after playing B, when A plays against C, player A will now be able to play B and C a second time (two opponents=two games per opponent). As a point of clarification, if you participate in a team game, your "opponent cap" will correspond to the number of players in the opposing team (e.g. 2 players vs. 2 players = "opponent cap" of 2)
Team games have a different point-cap per player (not per team) than that of one-on-one matches. The point-cap* will escalate as per the following:
Week 1 (June 23rd-29th): 25pts (one-on-one); 15pts per player (team)
Week 2 (June 30th-July 6th): 35pts; 25pts
Week 3 (July 7th-13th): 50pts; 35pts
Week 4 (July 14th-20th): 100pts; 75pts
*As a reminder, the above are point-caps, so you can play smaller games with your opponent(s) agree to it.
Boasts are back! A player cannot accomplish (i.e. try and succeed) the same Boast more than once per week.
Players cannot declare Boasts once play has commenced beyond deployment (incl. Advanced Deployment). If it matters for who declares first, I recommend (but not mandating) players declare in order based on turn order (i.e. 1st player declares first, then 2nd player declares second).
When playing in a team game, the team declares a Boast, not the individual players. Teams are not restricted in what Boasts they wish to make.
Now available: the Double Boast!! The way this works is as follows:
First, you and your opponent both must have made a Boast; and those Boasts MUST be different. Then, if you accomplish your Boast, you receive your normal +0.5 League points (LP); but if you also accomplish your opponent's boast, then you receive another +0.5 LP.
If you accomplish your Boast but not your opponent's, no Double Boast for you!
If you and your opponent had the same Boast, then no Double Boast for either of you!
Here are the current list of available Boasts:
-Win without killing your opponent's warcaster/warlock
-Win without your warcaster/warlock casting any spells
-Win without your warcaster/warlock using their Feat
-Win without making any Power Attacks
-Win with your warjacks/warbeasts ONLY making Power Attacks
-Win without losing any warjack/warbeast in your warcaster's/warlock's battlegroup
-Win without performing ANY freestrikes (New Boast this season)
All of the normal War-Torn Alliance rules are immedaitely in effect (e.g. Seasonal models, Alliances, Upgrades). As a reminder, this is campaign play; so, Bonding rules are in effect as well. With the exception of Alliance team games; any team game scores LP for participants regardless of Faction composition within the team.
The concluding event for the third season has been determined. The top eight players at the end of the league (July 20th) will compete in a two-part single elimination event.
For the first part, four players will play against each other in a modified Unbound scenario, Floodland. The scenario originally is presented in the WARMACHINE: Colossal book and is essentially a modified King of the Hill scenario. Four players are going to be randomly assigned to a table. The each table will be a free-for-all game. Each player will bring a 50 point* army for this scenario.
The winners from each of the two tables will square-off in a Steamroller scenario, with the winner being the winner of the concluding event for the session and awarded prize-support based on player participation from the league. For this match, the players will bring a 75 point* list (no reinforcements).
More details for the above will be presented when it is not 3am. Set-up will be at 12:30pm on July 21st; dice will roll at 1pm. There will be a 30-minute lunch break for players before the final event.
If players are concerned about not having enough models for the concluding event, then I may be able to loan a few models (Mercenaries mostly) if needed. I also recommend borrowing models if you are still coming up shy.

While both Ken and Andrew have the same points, because Ken earned his points first (i.e. in fewer games played) he is actually in 2nd Place at the moment.
Even if the standings do not change later, we have the above statement available now for clarification.
See you all Saturday ^_^Reply |
