Armies
People should enter as individuals. Lists should be taken from either the Impetus main rule book, any published Extra Impetus supplement or from one of the official beta lists on the Impetus website (http://www.dadiepiombo.com/beta0e.html ).
Armies should be 300pts, in 28mm, from 1 to 2 Commands. If 2 Commands are used, the bigger Command must not exceed 75% of VDT. The only exceptions to the normal restrictions are that special characters may not be used and minimums from the official lists are halved. Armies must have a camp, unless not required by the list.
Army Lists
Army lists must be submitted to the organisers no later than 12.00 noon on Sunday 13th November 2011. Please send them by e-mail, to daxrobertson@hotmail.com or davidimrie2@hotmail.com either as an attachment or in the body of the e-mail. Players will be notified that their army list has been received. This allows us to verify the lists in advance of the game, and avoids delays on the Sunday morning. However, there is no penalty for late submission as we just want you to turn up with some toy soldiers and play Impetus!
There is a template on the SESWC forum which you may use to record your army list and which calculates the totals and break points of you army (it is included in the instructions for the Scottish Open) – although any word, pdf or Excel version of your army list is fine. Also available is a completed example for reference (using Crusaders from the Extra Impetus supplement). Any upgrades or special instructions for your army list should be included within the “Notes” section at the bottom of the form.
NB* it is expected that D6 dice, disorder, opportunity and casualty markers will be used during all games. Generic markers will be provided on the day for those who do not have any.
For anyone attempting flank marches or ambushes, troop deployment sheets can be completed on the day.
Please note, you may purchase re-rolls or “Rolls of destiny” for use within the competition games *apart from those purchased as characteristics of high ranking generals. If you are using “rolls of destiny”, please include the number of re-rolls you are purchasing (5 points each) and include the points cost within the total points value of your army.
All armies should be fully painted and anyone not fielding a completed force will be forced to wear a special hat with the words “lazy twat” on it.
Sportsmanship (Don’t do it)
There will be no sportsmanship scoring for this event. However, if anyone feels their opponent was highly unsporting during their game they should make their feelings known to one of the organisers. Anyone brought to the attention of the umpires will then be watched more closely. Anyone being repeatedly brought to our attention may face disqualification. Anyone deliberately cheating, really needs to get a life and will be kicked out of the tournament for the good of the species.
Rules Queries
Hopefully, all games will be played out with the utmost fun, and run completely smoothly. If you do have any problem/rules queries then, first look in the relevant rule/army book and, if this does not satisfy you or you can’t find the answer, then please feel free to ask the event organiser or one of the umpires appointed on the day. The Umpire is free to interrupt any game to clarify or point out mistakes to players.
The Battlefield
The tables will all use fixed terrain. These will be loosely based on historical battlefields, and will hopefully add to the competition.
Optional Rules
The one day tournament rules for 2011 will be used in full as they apply to 25/28mm scale games;

Please note that there is an amendment to the section on Expert generals – “Expert General can re-roll all initiative dice (all or none), so not just one.” See http://impetus.forumsland.com/impetus-about2182.html .
Game Play
All games will be the Standard Pitched Battle. After rolling to find the attacker and defender for the game, the defender gets to choose which long edge of the table to deploy on.
The games will last 2 hours, excluding deployment; at the end of the 2 hours only a limited number of actions can be taken to complete the turn, please see the Tournament Rules pdf for details.
Game Scoring
We will be using the official Impetus competition scoring system; points awarded at the competition will count towards the 2011 Impetus World League.

9 already confirmed and I'll bring (proper) flyers over next Thursday for those who are interested.
If anyone fancies a practice, or wants to borrow an impetus army, just let me know - I've got plenty.
We will be using the amendments from the latest EI4 supplement - I'll print of the quick reference sheets for anyone who wants one.
All the best
Dax
