Tournament rounds 4º Torneo del Dragone

Victory goes to the force which can crush the foe and slay the enemy General.

The players choose their army, which must have the same number of points as that of the opponent, according to the rules on the previous pages.

The layout section of each Scenario will tell you about any notable features of the battlefield, such as key pieces of terrain used as objectives, or the placement of Objective Markers. The rest of the battlefield is up to you, and will allow you to create battlefields themed around different locations in Middle-earth. We would always recommend a minimum of 33% of the board to be covered in terrain so there are plenty of interesting aspects for models to fight around.
The quickest (and fairest) way to set up a battlefield is for one person to set up the terrain and then the other player to automatically win the roll-off to decide which deployment zone they want. Alternatively, you and your opponent can alternate placing terrain features (which can range from trees and walls, to entire forests and buildings) until you are both happy that there is enough terrain to make for an interesting game.
Whichever method you choose, you should do whatever you can to ensure the battlefield evokes the imagery of Middleearth, and also presents an interesting and challenging strategic situation for both players.

Both players roll a D6 – the player with the highest result chooses one of the deployment zones. They then select a Warband in their Army to deploy wholly within 12" of their board edge. Models must be deployed within 6" of the Captain of their Warband.
When this has been done, the opposing player chooses one of their Warbands and deploys it wholly within 12" of their board edge, as described above. Players then alternate until all Warbands have been placed.

Roll 1D6, the player with the highest number goes first. In case of a tie, reroll the dice.

The game lasts until the end of a turn in which one Army has been reduced to a quarter (25%) of its starting number of models or below, at which point the player who has scored the most Victory Points wins the game. If both players have the same number of Victory Points, the game is a draw.

You score 1 Victory Point if the enemy General was wounded during the game. If the enemy General has been wounded, and only has 1 Wound remaining, then you instead score 3 Victory Points. If the enemy General was removed as a casualty, you instead score 5 Victory Points.
You score 3 Victory Points if the enemy Army is Broken at the end of the game. If the enemy Army is Broken and your Army is not, you instead score 5 Victory Points.
You score 2 Victory Points if your opponent has no banners remaining at the end of the game (if they didn’t have a banner to start with, you automatically score this).
You score 1 Victory Point if you have at least one banner remaining at the end of the game. If you have more banners remaining than your opponent, then you instead score 2 Victory Points.
You score 3 Victory Points if the enemy Army has been reduced to 25% of its starting models at the end of the game.
You score 1 Victory Point for each enemy Hero model that has been removed as a casualty, up to a maximum of 3 Victory Points.
