FORMAT - The Organisation of Tournaments, which mainly concerns future organisers. Players must use the Player’s Sheet (APPENDIX 5) to set up his Army List. This Army List is called the Main List. Before each game the player makes a new List from the Main List: this new List is called the Round A. The Principles of Play List. In order for it to be counted in the French Championship, a tournament 3.1 MAIN LIST must include a minimum of 12 participants, with at least 1 member of the Conf’federation. The army’s Main List cannot be greater than 400 A.P. Every tournament must be made up of at least four Rounds with four Exceeding this limit is not allowed. different scenarios. These scenarios come from a selection of scenarios designed and tested especially for the chosen format and game length: 3.2 ROUND LIST they make up the Scenario Pack of the Conf’federation (APPENDIX 2).

Every scenario of the Conf’federation is therefore A.P. Also, if the List includes a Lonewolf with the Rapidity spell worth 16 subject to these general rules. However, each scenario may have A.P., then the authorised excess remains 12 A.P. and the player can add particular rules that are explained in detail in the concerned paragraph. a Hunter (authorised excess equal to half the value of the weakest figurine and strictly less than the A.P. value of any Artefact, Miracle or Spell). 1.
