MW 15mm - being umpired by Mitch Abrams. Table size is 6' x 4'. MW 25mm - being umpired by Terry Gore. Table size is 8' x 5'.

Format:

1. Each army is one list only, 525 points total. We are using Priests as well as the Supply Unit rule, though you are not required to purchase either, if you have a tendency to roll poorly (like me) or have a number of missile units in your army, it is advisable to use both.
2. Lists will be drawn from the currently available MW lists, which can be downloaded from our rules discussion site at http://group.yahoo.com/groups/GoreAMwar
3. Bring a ground cloth and the terrain pieces you are going to use along with measuring devices, dice and order markers must be provided by each player.
