So you want to be a Tournament Organiser?


Why?

This is actually quite a good fundamental question to ask yourself. Why do you want to be a Tournament Organiser?
The scene builder answers are along the lines of:
  • There is no Tournament scene in my local area
  • Increase Kings of War games in my local area/region
The more selfish ones are:
  • I enjoy playing Kings of War and want to host a Tournament
  • I enjoy organising things, so why not a Kings of War Tournament
  • I want to play in more tournaments local to me
None are bad answers, but if you have a few answers and none are from the top two,, next question would be: is your region/area over saturated with Tournaments?
People get Tournament fatigue, and if there are too many locally then everyone will struggle to find players.

The Withdrawal method

Right, there are some funny shenanigans with the Withdrawal method.

Take a typical multi charge against an in line formation.
  1. Orange Charges Blue, middle horde is multi charged by three units
  2. Orange moves forward till contact
  3. Then Orange shuffles to final place sharing frontage
  4. Blue Survives and Counter Charges Orange

    The two Inf Reg are “nudged” back to show they are not engaged.
  5. Orange retaliates

    But wait, the two Inf Reg can no longer charge the Middle Inf Horde as they are in the flank, also they cannot charge the end hordes as they are also in the Flank.

    The two Inf reg do not get a free Withdraw as they are not engaged, therefore cannot move back for them to be in the front arc.
