2011 Breast Cancer Brawl Rules
Format:
Steamroller
2011
Date:
9/17 10am
Admission:
$10.00
Game Format: Mixed WARMACHINE and HORDES
Game
Size: 35 Points Single List
Game
Length: Accelerated – 60 min games - 7
min turns - One 3min extension
Scenario:
Kill Box Only
Re-Rolls or Paying to Cheat Fate:
Players
may buy re-roll tokens at the
start
of the event and any time between games. Each player will get 20 tokens for
registering for the event. Each additional token costs a 50 cent donation to the charity being sponsored by the
event
Here’s how the re-rolls work. Each table will have a
box where players can deposit tokens. At any time during a game round (a round
consists of each player taking one turn) either player may spend tokens by
dropping them into the box to buy a re-roll of all the dice in any roll –
either his own or forcing his opponent to do so. The costs are as follows for
each player:
First
re -roll – 1 token Second re-roll – 2 tokens Third re-roll – 3 tokens Fourth
re-roll – 4 tokens Fifth re-roll – 8 tokens
Each
player may only buy 5 re- rolls of the dice per game round. The count (and the
cost of the re-roll) resets to the beginning at the beginning of the next round
of the game.
Thus,
on turn 1, if Paul is the first player he could get a bad roll, pay 1 token to
re-roll all the dice and get a great roll. His opponent, Hugh, could then spend
1 token to force him to re- roll that. If the roll is poor, Paul could then
spend 2 tokens to roll it again and spend 3 more tokens to re-roll yet again if
the roll was still not to his liking. In Hugh’s first turn, he would have to
spend 2 tokens to buy his first re-roll because he had already spent his first
re-roll forcing Paul to do so on his turn.
Additional Rules
The following are additional
rules. These give players even more ways to “cheat for charity”
|
Name
|
Cost
|
Effect

Pink Ribbon
Special
|
3 tokens
|
A player using
this special rule must do so at any time during his turn. Player selects one

non-warlock/warcaster model to
gain +3 DEF and ARM for one round. The
model also
|
|
|
|
|
cannot be
targeted by ranged or magic attacks for that round. May not be used in
|
|
|
|
conjunction with any other of
these special rules on the same model and may not be used
|
|
|
|
two consecutive turns in a row.

|
Early
Detection

Variable
|
After regular
deployment, each player (starting with the first player) may donate tokens to
|
|
|
|
advance deploy
one model/unit from his army. For
every token donated, one model/unit
|
|
|
|
may be repositioned up to
1" beyond the standard 10" deployment zone – 3 tokens gets you
|
|
|
|
3 inches, 5 gets you 5 inches -
to a maximum of 10” beyond the normal deployment zone.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Self-Exam
|
4 tokens
|
A player using
this special rule must do so at any time during his turn. The player’s
|
|
|
|
warlock/warcaster
may add +1 to his/her DEF for each point of fury or focus currently on
|
|
|
|
him/her. May not be used in conjunction with any
other of these special rules on the same
|
|
|
|
model and may not be used on
two consecutive turns.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Awareness is
|
Variable
|
Before the
start of the game, players may spend tokens to gain a bonus to the roll to
|
|
Everything
|
|
determine first player. Each token spent provides +1 to the roll
and each player may spend
|
|
|
|
as many tokens as he or she
wishes for this roll.
|
|
See your
doctor
|
8 tokens
|
Once per game,
you may spend 8 tokens at the end of your turn to send an opponent’s non-
|
|
|
|
warlock/warcaster model/unit to
the doctor for a checkup. The affected
unit does not
|
|
|
|
activate
during your opponent’s next turn.
However, all continuous effects and enemy
|
|
|
|
upkeep spells on the affected
model/unit are removed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Women are
tough
|
8 tokens
|
At the
beginning of the game, you may spend 8 tokens to make all female models (they
must
|
|
|
|
be visibly and recognizably
sculpted female or named as such in the background fluff) in
|
|
|
|
your army
tough. When a tough model takes
sufficient damage to be destroyed, roll a d6.
|
|
|
|
On a result of 5 or 6, the
model is not destroyed, but retains one wound and is knocked
|
|
|
|
down. In the case of models that are already
tough (trollbloods, etc.) this ability increases
|
|
|
|
their tough roll to 4, 5, or
6. This ability lasts the entire game.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Race for the
Cure
|
8 Tokens
|
All
models/units in the warcaster/lock’s control area can charge at SDP +5 inches
without
|
|
|
|
having to spend focus, be
forced or given orders. All charging models can charge through
|
|
|
|
rough terrain. May only be used once per game.
|
|
United We

|
6 Tokens
|
All
models/units in a warcaster/lock’s control area gain +2 to ARM and DEF, they
also gain
|
|
|
|
Fearless and cannot be knocked
down or made stationary for one round.
This may only be
|
|
|
|
used once per game.
|
|
Targeted
treatment
|
5 tokens
|
May only be
used once per game. Select a friendly
model/unit in your army. This unit may
|
|
|
|
select a
target model/unit. When declaring
ranged/magic attacks or charges the affected
|
|
|
|
model/unit ignores all models
and terrain between it and the target for purposes of
|
|
|
|
movement and line of sight
except impassible objects. On the
charge, the affected models
|
|
|
|
must still end
their movement without overlapping the base of any other model, though they
|
|
|
|
may pass through them
freely. Models affected by this rule
may damage an incorporeal
|
|
|
|
target even if they are not
normally able to do so.
|
|
Awareness and
|
Variable
|
At any time
that your opponent attempts to use any of the above listed abilities, you may
|
|
Prevention
|
|
immediately
spend the same number of tokens to negate that ability. For abilities that are
|
|
|
|
usable a limited number of
times per game, they are not counted as used if countered with
|
|
|
|
this ability. Your opponent is free to immediately spend
more to try to use the ability again.
