Manfest X5: Au Civil WaaaaaaGGGHHHHH!In the current environment it was only a matter of time until the Civil Waaaaaggghhhh hit Au,…
Arrival Time: 9:00 AM
Please be on time, we have a lot to accomplish before we set up.
Entrance Fee: $25
Includes meal, drink. The rest goes towards prize support.
Army Construction
All players will bring a Battle Forged army of no more than 4,500 points. This list will be an Onslaught Matched Play list. Legends units are permitted.
All players are encouraged to bring an additional 500 points in case of last minute adjustments. This must still form a legal matched play list when combined with your 4,500pts list to form a 5,000pt list.
Command points (CP)
Each player gains 1CP at the start of each team Command phase.
Outside of the 1CP players gain at the start of the Command phase, each player can only gain a total of 1CP per battle round, regardless of the source (this includes other CP gained at the start of the Command phase).
Selecting Units
Your army cannot contain more than four units with the same datasheet name as that unit – or eight units with the same datasheet name as that unit if it is a Battleline or Dedicated Transport unit.
Select Warlord
Players must select a “Common Sense” unit as Warlord. Players cannot take a lower level character as their warlord for “player advantage”. TOs reserve the right to instruct players to change their warlord for thematic reasons. If a character data sheet has a rule that mandates it must be your warlord… it must be your warlord.
All warlords have the special rule:
Objective Priority: Unless part of an attached unit (see Leader, page 39 Warhammer 40,000 Core Rules), this unit can only be selected as a target of a ranged attack if the attacking model is on the same table or is within 24”.
Allies
Allies function in the same way as Strike Force games, with the below changes to the allied unit limits:
Assigned Agents
Change the unit type limits as described below:
RETINUE units: 4
CHARACTER units: 4
REQUISITIONED units: 2
Cults of the Dark Gods, Daemonic Pact, Iconoclast Fiefdom, Questor Forgepact
Increase the points cost limit to "Up to 1125 points"

Brood Brothers Auxilia, Carnival of Excess, Changehost of Deceit, Final Day, Khorne Daemonkin, Reaper's Wager, Tallyband Summoners
Increase the points cost limit to "Up to 2250 points"
If you have something in mind and it doesn’t fit into the methods described above, please contact Jack or Craig before the day of the event. If there is a fair way to make it work. We are all game....
Teams
Teams will be set the day of the event.
Generals
The Team Generals will be Craig Valvano (Au North) & Frank Smith (Au South)
Assembling the teams
Teams will be selected by the generals. Using a modified player draft in the morning of the event. The TOs may group players to help maintain game balance. Afterward, the Generals have a few minutes to discuss the map with their teammates.
Draft Order: Draft order will be determined the morning of the event in an old-fashioned gentlemen's duel… the dice (Roll Off)
Deployment/First Turn
Generals will roll off and the winner will choose for their team to be first team. The first team will choose the deployment zone and will go first. Once the deployment zones are set, each player will simultaneously place an objective marker on the battlefield, wholly within their team's deployment zone and more than 18" from other player's objective marker. Units that can be deployed outside of their controlling player's deployment zone can be set up more than 9" of the opposing team's territory. After the objective markers have been placed, all team members will deploy their armies. During this time, players can Declare Battle Formations. All models must be deployed wholly within 24" of their own, and any units that cannot wholly fit are to be considered destroyed before the battle starts.
After deployment, each army will simultaneously Resolve Pre-Battle Rules and resolve any other rules that are resolved before the battle starts. Models may not be moved within 9" of the opposing team's territory.
Rapid Redeployment
At the start of the first battle round, the second team general may declare up to 8 units to be redeployed. The rules for each redeployment are:
• A unit may be redeployed from the battlefield to strategic reserves.
• A unit may be redeployed from Reserves to wholly within 24" of their controlling player's objective marker and wholly within their team's deployment zone. If a selected unit cannot fit in such a way, it cannot be selected for this redeployment.
• A unit on the battlefield to wholly within 24" of their controlling player's objective marker and wholly within their team's deployment zone. If a selected unit cannot fit in such a way, it cannot be selected for this redeployment.
• A transport unit and the models embarked inside count as 1 choice.
• The following units count as 2 choices for the team:
◦Units with a wounds characteristic of 20+.
◦The Starting strength of the unit is 20+, excluding Leaders
◦The total of the Wounds characteristics of the models in the unit is 25+, excluding leaders.
◦When that unit’s player added that unit to their army, the points value they subtracted from the total permitted for this battle was sufficient for that unit to be composed of 20 or more models.
Deploying From Reserves
(We are using normal Strategic Reserves rules / Deep Strike Rules)
Units may only be set up in their controlling player's assigned areas. The TOs will go over the map and instruct players on these assigned areas during briefing.
Player Army interaction
Army Abilities, Unit Abilities and Stratagems that affect friendly units may only affect their controlling players' units, even if the keywords match.
Aircraft
All aircraft units gain the deep strike ability. The following rules apply:
When the aircraft unit is set up using the Deep Strike rule, it can be set up anywhere on the battlefield more than 6” horizontally away from all enemy models. This unit cannot declare a charge, but can otherwise act normally in the remainder of the turn.
If the aircraft has the transport keyword, all disembarking models must be set up more than 9” horizontally away from all enemy models on the turn the aircraft arrives from deep strike.
Command Points
Teammates cannot share command point during gameplay.
Table Rules
Table Gaps
Units with the Fly keyword may make a Normal move, Advance Move or Fallback move over table gaps, but only if the move is sufficient to be set up wholly on the battlefield. Likewise, line of sight can be drawn over the gaps.
Roads /runways (if used)
While on the road or runway, vehicle units may double their Movement value, may roll 2d6 and pick the highest for Advancing, and may add 2” to their charge rolls if the enemy unit is also on the road. This additional movement only applies while on the road, if a unit moves off the road their movement returns to normal and any Advancing distance remaining is halved(round down). The road does not affect units with the Fly or Walker keywords.
