The Cold Ash Clash will be held on Saturday 4th November 2023.
Acland Memorial Hall, Cold Ash, RG18 9JH, Berkshire.
For those unfamiliar with the Scramble Format:
Each player brings any valid 12-element v3.0 army on 15mm base sizes (40mm frontage), camp (camp follower element optional), and terrain for a legal battlefield as the defender, which may include provision of a specific legal board size.
Note that the army will be used by other players.
• Players will play AGAINST their own army only in the first round.
• Players will use their own army only in the final round.
• Players will be matched using Swiss chess format.
• Armies will be matched as far as possible to maximise variety (of army used and fought against) for players.
• The 12-element army and terrain choices may not be changed between rounds (hence no dismounting!).
• Players must attempt to place all terrain pieces supplied.
The aim is to have 6 rounds, but may be revised on the day.
Depending upon the number of players and the time to arrange the pairings for each round, there is no guarantee of non-repetition, but priority order will be given to:
1. New opponent each round
2. New army used each round
3. New opposing army each round
There will be the usual trophies:
Top 3 players
Strongest Army
Slayer
Most Challenging Army
In addition, new for 2023
Best Presented Army
Places will be capped at 24.
How to secure a space will follow shortly.
