Rules issues
If players disagree on how a rule works, they should first consult the rulebook and any relevant Warlord Games errata. If they still cannot agree on the interpretation players should agree to roll a dice (1-3 the rule means this, 4-6 the rule means that…), or ask Niall for a ruling.

Rules changes / clarifications
The below rules changes will be in force at the tournament:
· Snipers cannot kill team weapon squads unless they are down to two men / started with two men (this is to make MMG teams more practical)
Changes to forward deployment: Forward deployed units get the hidden set up rule but instead of placing a model they place a token/ piece of paper. This is to represent the spotter,sniper, scouts etc. once the hidden unit is revealed the piece of paper is flipped and the unit on the paper is placed and acts as normal. For deployment these units have their dice taken out of the bag and are deployed exempt from dice pulls at the end of the deployment.
