Army Composition
The Boatsystem: Each army consists of 4 boats: a mainboat (1500 points) and 3 sideboats (500 points each). Before each game two of the sideboats are chosen and these two and the mainboat build the army. Because of this every game is played with 2500 points. The following restrictions have to be followed: * A legal armylist consiting of 3000 points has to be written, but the percentagerestrictions of a 2500 point army (625 points for lords max. etc.) have to be considered. Exceptions for this rule are bonuspoints which a few armys can get. These points raise the percentage-restrictions. * The mainboat must at least consist of the general and the requested core-points. In addition obligatory units from the various armybooks (Knights of the realm for example) have to be in the mainboat too. * Each choice can only be in two different boats max (choice as in unit: trolls are trolls, there is no difference between river trolls and normal trolls. Chariots are chariots etc.). * The mainboat must not exceed 1500 points. * Within the sideboats variance of up to 50 points is allowed. But consider that these points have to be paid from the mainboat. For example: The mainboat has 1450 points, the three sideboats have 525, 525 and 500 points. Not allowed would be the following example: The mainboat has 1500 points, the three sideboats have 450, 500 and 550 points. * The armylists have to follow the Armychoice given below:

Scenarios: Game 1 - Battleline A normal Battleline from the rulebook page 144 is played. Before the game starts both players secretly write down two of the opponents sideboats which will take part in the game, besides the mainboat. This decision is then told simultaneously. Game 2 Meeting Engagement A game of Meeting Engagement from the rulebook page 149 is played. Before the game each player chooses, in secret, a sideboat of his own army which will take part in the game. This decision is then told simultaneously. After that the player chooses, in secret, one of the remaining sideboats of the opponent. This decision is then told simultaneously. Game 3 - The Winds of Magic are understandable A normal Battleline from the rulebook page 144 is played. The following changes apply: Each player receives 6 cards (numbered from 1-6) for the casting and the dispel phase. Instead of rolling for the Winds of Magic both players choose, in secret, a card from their deck. This card is placed on the table and turned over simultaneously. The numbers on the cards represent the D6 results for the Winds of Magic. Each card can only be used once. Before the game starts both players secretly write down two of the opponents sideboats which will take part in the game, besides the mainboat. This decision is then told simultaneously. Game 4 Army Swap A normal Battleline from the rulebook page 144 is played. But instead of his own army each player plays with the army of his opponent. For that to work each player has to give his armybook and armylist to his opponent so that he can read it over night, if he wished to do so. Should any player have problems with his opponent touching his models he can move them himself, but hast o follow the orders of his opponents. Before the game each player chooses, in secret, a sideboat of the army he is playing which will take part in the game. This decision is then told simultaneously. This game is played with the mainboat and only one sideboat. Game 5 - Battleline A normal Battleline from the rulebook page 144 is played.
