Tournament rules

[Lemminkäinen]

Thank you, sounds awesome! Keeping it simple (No NPFs, no weather) for the first tournament sounds like the way to go, for sure.

When I told the wife about this, she started instantly thinking about making a pie or two and apparently one cake isn't enough - it should be two or a cake and some cookies or something. Heh, she's awesome!

Sideboards are the idea of having a small force of alternative minis that you can use to customize your force for a given game once you know your opponent's faction. They are good for some games (and some are wholly created with the idea of using those - Malifaux for example allows you to pick any models from you faction once you've found out your opponent's faction and the mission) but I can see that being allowed to customize for the missions might lead to over-optimized lists. Also, it's easier to enforce having painted forces, if it's just the one exact 100 points force, so sounds good.
