MODELS AND POINTS:1. League games can be played at 15-, 25-, 35-, 50-, 75-, 100-, 125-, 150, and 200-point levels
2. Players must agree on the point level at which their game is to be played.
3. Players participating in the league must bring their own models, stat cards, dice, measuring devices, tokens, markers, and templates required for play.
4. Players must cooperate with their opponent to resolve effects. Refusing to do so is explicitly unsportsmanlike.
HOW THE LEAGUE WORKS:• Players represent a single faction (Cygnar, Protectorate of Menoth, Khador, Cryx, Retribution of Scyrah, Mercenaries, Trollbloods, Circle Orboros, Skorne, Legion of Everblight, or Minions). An online map will keep track of faction victories of players world-wide.
• Battleground will track the position of each player participating in the league on a scoreboard called the ladder. The first five games a player plays each week earn him league points, and these determine a player’s standings on the ladder. Players can continue playing games after reaching their maximum for the week, but additional games will not earn league points.
• League games may be played at any time during the week.
• You may not play the same person twice in back to back games.
• The default game for the Rotterhorn League at Battleground will be 35 points.
• The number of league points a player scores for playing a league game depends on the size of the game, the scenario, and the outcome of the game. The following table provides the base number of league points a player earns for playing a game of a given size. All players earn the listed number of battle points for simply completing the game. Players can also earn bonus points as defined in the rules for individual scenarios. See the individual scenarios for additional information on the bonus points that players can earn.
Game Size Battle Points Bonus Points
15-point game 2 1
25-point game 3 2
35-point game 4 2
50-point game 5 3
75-point game 6 3
100-point game 8 4
125-point game 9 4
150-point game 11 5
200-point game 13 5
• Controlling map territories grants map bonuses to the controlling faction. See the league rules for the details of each map location.
• During each league game, players can choose one territory that their faction controls to “supply” their army in that game. They gain the benefits listed under any map bonuses in that territory for that league game. (Note that a faction might not control any map locations at a given time and that not all map bonuses will be useful to all factions.)
• Each game will be played on a 4' x 4' board.
• When players agree to play a game, the player with the lowest position on the venue’s league ladder chooses the territory where the game will be played. After the game, players submit their earned league points to the League Organizer for tracking on the ladder. In a 35-point game or larger, the winner must also submit their territory and faction to the League Organizer so that the League Organizer can put that information into the global map.
• Commendations - Player's participating in the Rotterhorn League can earn Commendations for various things. Please consult the Shattered Ground Rules for details on how these are handled. Details on the Commendations themselves can be found in the Rotterhorn Rules.
• Stratagems - Stratagems are special abilities that are unlocked in a player’s battle journal as they play games and earn commendations. Please consult the Shattered Ground Rules for details on how these are handled and the Rotterhorn Rules for what each Stratagem does.
• Each league season features new stories from Privateer Press staff writers. The link to these stories can be found
here.
During the Shattered Grounds league season, players have the opportunity to play some of the characters, warjacks, or units found within these stories. The rules for these season models can be found
here. (Both links are also found under the League Rules heading above)
During a league season, the original models on which these season models are based cannot be used. Moreover, these models count as if they are the models on which they are based for bonuses, such as those granted by the Elite Cadre ability, Leadership ability, or Theme Force benefits.
BATTLES:Scenarios for the Rotterhorn League can be found at the end of the Shattered Ground Rules.
