Chase,
You think you can give us a little more insight into what we should be expecting for this league. Just so we can kind of plan ahead for any possible alterations in our armies. I.e. Picking up some units that may fit better in this style of play format.
Like can we use special characters? I know the rules now include them as normal choices with no restrictions. But I'm not sure if Empires has a special rules for their use. Also, is there going to be a banner system depicting a specific army in an area. Or is it just you can field an army based on available points in any area??
