Playing the games
The event will be using the rules in Kings of War version 3.5 compendium, the rules updates in Clash of Kings 2025, and the rules from Clash of Kings 2024 that were not reprinted (e.g. the updated Twilight Kin army list.)
Chess clocks will be used to help the tournament run on schedule. Clocks should be used throughout deployment, scout moves, and player turns.
If you and your opponent disagree on a rule, pause the clock whilst you check the rulebook. If that doesn’t resolve your issue, please ask the tournament organiser to adjudicate.
The clock should also be paused if either player needs to take a break for any reason.
Unlike Cogs of War tournaments, timing out is strictly dice down. If you run out of time on the clock, you must instantly stop play. If you are currently rolling a combat or shooting attack, no wounds are applied from the attack and the target is steady.
If there are enough pauses during a game that you predict the round time will end before both players have finished, please inform the tournament organiser as soon as possible so that this can be resolved fairly for both players.
