and a 400pts army size limit.
Venue Details
This years event is being held at the
Event Timetable
Saturday 3rd of October 2009
Sunday 4th of October 2009
Armies & Army lists
People should enter as an individual not as teams and are asked to enter
one of the following periods;
1)
From
Biblical to Fall of
2)
Dark
age to Renaissance
Lists should have a 400pts limit and should be taken from either the
Impetus main rule book, Impetus Extra(s) or from one of the beta lists on the
Impetus website. The only exceptions to the normal restrictions are that special
characters may not be used.
Army
lists must be submitted to the period organiser no later than
Players submitting a list as above in a clear and legible manner will receive
a bonus 30 vps.
All armies should be fully painted and anyone not fielding a fully
painted force will be deducted 30 vps.
On Saturday morning the event organiser will do a random draw with one
player from each section being placed together to form a team of two. The idea
being that, with Impetus still being a new system, it will be nice to get to
know other players from different areas and being put into a team will hopefully
help with this.
Sportsmanship
There will be no sportsmanship scoring for this event. However, if
anyone feels there opponent was highly unsporting during their game they should
make there feelings known to one of the umpires. Anyone brought to the
attention of the umpires will then be watched more closely. Anyone being repeatedly
brought to our attention may face disqualification.
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 cant 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
We will supply enough terrain for all the tables for this weekend. However,
if people wish to bring teamed terrain they should feel free to bring them
along.
Game Play
Game one
Standard Pitched battle
Game Two
A slant on pitched battle
1 The attacker and defender are found as per the rule book;
2 The terrain is again set out as per the rule book the only difference is that
there is always a village;
3 The village is placed in the centre of the board;
4 The defender then roles a D6 on a 1,2 the village moves 12U towards the
attackers deployment zone (deployment zone B) on a role of a 3,4 it stays still
and on a 5,6 it moves 12U towards the defenders deployment zone (deployment
zone A);
5 Both camps are then placed as per the map;
6 Both Commanders then deploy as per the rule book but with the deployment
zones as per the map.
Game 3
Flank March
This game is played out at a standard pitched battle with the following
differences:
- If the army
has 3 commands or more, then one command can be sent on a flank march;
- Commanders
should write on their deployment map which side the command is marching to
(if any). This command is not deployed with the army but placed to one
side;
- From turn 3,
players should role on the following table to see if they arrive.
Role Result
1 The
command has become completely lost and takes no part in the battle.
2-4 They
are still trying to find the battle field, nothing happens this turn but add +1
to all further roles
5-6 Hear they come, place
the command anywhere along the side of the board within 30U of the centre line.
All units count at being activated this turn.
Game 4

Game Scoring
We will be using the official Impetus competition scoring system which
is as follows;
Winner (enemy's army has been
routed) gets 30 Pts (Winner Bonus) + 100pts (100% of destroyed VDs) -
percentage of lost VDs.
In case of draw (no routs) both players get 10 Pts (bonus) + percentage of
destroyed VDs.
In case of defeat (rout) player gets as many points as the percentage of VD he
has destroyed.
Units belonging to a routed Command are considered destroyed.
Examples
1) A (VDT=34) beats B (VDT=30) putting in rout, but with the loss of 9VD.
A gets 30 (bonus) + 100 (percentage of destroyed Units) minus 26 (9 is 26% of
34) = 104 pts
B gets 26 pts
2) A (VDT=34) beats B (VDT=30) putting in rout, but with the loss of 15VD.
A gets 30 (bonus) + 100 (destroyed %) - 44 (lost %) = 86 pts
B gets 44 pts
3) A (VDT=34) destroys 6 VD of B (VDT=30) and the latter destroys 13 VD of A.
No army is routed.
A gets 10 (bonus) + 20 (%) = 30 pts
B gets 10 (bonus) + 38 (%) = 48 pts
If both armies are routed the result is 60 to 60.
