The Lowdown
This tournament is in support of MS research. One of Evolution Gaming’s members has
recently had a loved one diagnosed with the disease and we have decided to put together this
tournament to raise money for this cause. We have kept the entry fee low so that you have lots
of money left over to donate via the Mercenaries available for hire.

Tournament rerolls
As this is a charity tournament we are allowing single dice rolls to be rerolled at the cost
of $5. You may only reroll once per result. For example: If I wish to reroll my failed leadership
test and I have no BSB reroll to take advantage of, I could donate $5 to the charity to reroll the
leadership test dice. The second result will be the final result and no additional
rerolls may be purchased for that particular dice roll.

This tourney will consist of three games. Each game will be a randomly generated scenar-

How it works
Evolution Gaming will be raising funds for MS research and proceeds will go directly to
charity. There are six mercenary units available to hire for each round of the tournament. Before
each game, after partners, pairings, and scenarios have been announced, each team will have an
opportunity to place blind bids on any of the mercenary units.
The mercenary units will be set up on a board with a container in front of each of them.
To place a bid, a team writes down the real cash value they will pay to hire the mercenary and
places it in the corresponding container. Once all bids are placed, the highest bidding team will
pay up and collect their unit and may deploy it as they would any other unit in their army. If a
bidder does not have the funds, then the mercenary will go to work for the next highest bidder
able to pay.
The mercenary units are considered friendly units for the purposes of spells and may use
both teammates’ generals and BSBs. A team may place bids on as many mercenaries as they wish.
If you do not have the cash to pay for the services of the mercenary up front, they will not
work for you. Each mercenary unit will have a cheat card provided with all of
their stats and special rules ,as well as a brief summary description of how they
function in each phase. Normal victory
points will be awarded for destoyed merce-
naries. Their individual point costs will
be stated on their individual
cheat cards.
