Battle of the Books
For the months of November through January we will be running a 'contest' of sorts.
We're putting the old with the new in a new variety of tournaments.
We will be running an open League throught the months of December & January.
During these months players will use either the new or old versions of the following Codex:
Chaos
Space Marines
Eldar
Tyranids
Orks
The battle of the books gives everyone an oppurtunity to play with out-dated armies and
Codex's that have been replaced. Its primary design is to give some of the punch back
to some themes. Quite a few armies gotten crippled with the new Codex's, so lets give
them a chance to redeem themselves.
To make sure everyone understands... you don't need to play Chaos vs. Chaos. Its an open
League, play who you want with what you want.
Not all games will be required to be played at Legions. All games are required to submit their
final scores (Both VP and Kill Points) and Player Information to the following email address: \n

This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
Also, an additional 10 reward points to detailed battle reports, pictures, and games played
at Legions. (Yes, 30 points available to those whom put in the extra work)
The winning version of the Codex will be determined by the highest VP and Kill Points.
I will submit updates for points standing every Sunday until the final week in January.
Once the version has been decided, the tournament information will be posted on the Calendar
and the Legions Forum.
The League will be played in any Standard points limit using the Standard Force
Organization Chart specific to their army. (NO APOCOLYPSE!!!)
