Warmachine and Warhammer Fantasy players are welcome to have casual games on the same day. We have enough tables for everyone!

Details: Play Table is divided in to three flanks, namely:

  • left flank
  • middle
  • right flank

Each player will draw a hand of 4 random cards from the main deck. Each beginning of his turn, that player may play a card from his hand. Units can only be activated if they are given orders this turn. Cards will be one of the following types but they are NOT equally divided into:

  • Issue command to X many Y type of units from Z flank (e.g., issue command to 2 core units from the left flank)
  • Issue command to all bow/artilerry units and they shoot twice this turn
  • Issue command to all mounted units and they move additional 1" and has frenzy this turn
  • Issue command to A units of B type regardless of flank (e.g., Issue command to number of units equal to your hand size which are special choices)

At the end of that player's turn, he then draws a card. Note that if a player does not play a card at the beginning of the turn, he basically increases his hand size because he will draw a card at the end of the turn. In addition, Heroes gets to activate without being given orders but not if they are in a unit.
