We will be hosting an ESCALATION league. In this you will pick a partner to help you compete for glory, bragging rights, and of course a prize! The winning team will receive Their names and photos represented as the Escalation 40k Champions, as well as a Renegade Box Set to bolster their armies.
The rules are as follows:
*Pick a partner, come up with an awesome Team name and register at Game Arena in Bowling Green by 8’Oclock Saturday, August 4th (Buy in is $10.00 Per Person)
*Matches will begin Sunday, August 5th at 4’Oclock and will be assigned ahead of time. Opponents will remain hidden until arrival and Team Lists are turned in to the judge to maintain creative Army Builds.
*Beginning Armies will start at 500 point builds and have 500 point incremental increases for each following match up to 2500 points.
*Each Victory will count as a League point. The team that has the most League points at the end will be crowned the champions and receive the prize. Victory is attained by having more objective points at the end of the games, completing an immediate victory indicated by the match mission, or by flat out eliminating your opponent. There will be times during the League in which you will be partnered with your chosen battle brother which will affect the way points are earned. When Playing as a team winning by immediate cause, or majority victory points remains the same. However, Even if you win, if your teammate is eliminated during the match the opposing team will gain one league point for defeating an opposing force.
*When building your army, under no circumstances may you exceed your allotted points.
*Your army will be built upon. Meaning, the force you build originally cannot be removed as the league progresses, but must be expanded upon with other complimenting units. A unit once set cannot have any models removed, units cannot be split even if the overall model count remains the same for those specific models. Any model within a unit may however swap out weapons without suffering any penalties as long as they follow their codex’s rules. Any Lord of war models are excluded from play until week three. Players will be allowed to build their armies as unbound, but must have at least one HQ to lead their forces. Keep in mind; unbound armies receive no command points for stratagems. All army lists must be submitted to judges before matches to verify points and also make sure that no illegal modifications have been committed.
See Examples on the back side…
GOOD EXAMPLE: 1st Week Army 2nd Week Army
Primaris Captain Primaris Captain
Tactical Squad x5 Tactical Squad x10
Scouts x5 Scouts x5
Scouts x5
Notice the increase in Tactical Marines and addition of a second scout squad.
BAD EXAMPLE: 1st Week Army 2nd Week Army
Primaris Captain Primaris Librarian
Tactical Squad x7 (with Plasma Gun) Tactical Squad x10 (No Plasma Gun)
Scouts x10 Scouts x5
Scouts x5
Notice the Primaris Captain was Removed and Replaced with another Unit, the Tactical Squad did nothing wrong because they didn’t replace any models, they only swapped out weapons. The scout squad removed models and added another unit. Where it is fine to add another unit, it is against Escalation rules to decrease the amount of models in a unit once set.
Week One: (500 points) Standard Partner Scrimmage.
You will be teamed up with your Battle Brother to take on your first opponents together. Victory will be decided by elimination or points, but cannot go past Turn 5. Set up will be long ways split with deployment zones being 14 inches from the table edge.
Week Two: (1000 Points) Important Land Plots
You will be on your own in a struggle to capture 3 crucial Objectives laid across the exact middle of the field. Victory will be decided by elimination, holding all 3 objective points at the end of the turn (not your turn, but the overall turn end) or by having the most objective points.
Week Three: (1500 Points) VIP
You are assigned a mission to capture a smuggler carrying plans that could spell doom for everyone. The smuggler will Show up on turn 3 at one of 6 random objective markers. The location will be decided by rolling a D6. At the beginning of the game you must select an evac point outside of your opponents deployment zone, this cannot be moved once the game starts. When the smuggler appears you must take them into custody and fight your way to the evac point. In doing so you win the match. You may also claim victory by elimination or majority objective points if the mission objective is not completed by turn 5s end. Set up is table ends 24 inches from table edge.
Week Four: (2000 Points)Espionage
There is important intel located on a server on the battlefield. In order to crack it you must break the Prisoner of war by rolling a d6,(this may be done once per player turn on their respective turns), on the result of a 5 or higher they will give you the encryption key needed to access the server located in the center of the battlefield. If the player fails to get the code the opposing player may attempt to steal the POW the same way regular objectives are taken and attempt to roll. In the event the POW is cracked the model is removed from the game and the unit that took the code solely has the information and must make their way to the server and roll a D6, (may be done once per turn). On the result of a 4 the intel is gained and the match is over. In the event the unit is slain before they can get the intel, the Eliminating unit picks it up and can attempt the same. At the beginning of the game before start. Both players must roll off. This will indicate which player will have the Prisoner of war at the start of the game. If the mission objective is not completed victory can be obtained through objective points and elimination.
Week Five: (2500 Points) Championship Brawl
The top three teams will be pitted against each other in an all-out brawl. No objective points, no special winning qualifications, just elimination. You gain league points for every force slain, and one for being last team standing.
