Campaign Rules

For players that attend every week:
• The Reinforcement Rule: When upgrading your army from week to week, you cannot alter or delete units used in the previous week. You may only add new models, expand existing units, or purchase weapon/magic upgrades for units already on your roster.
• Casualties & Spoils of War: If a unit is completely wiped out in a battle, it doesn't vanish from the campaign. It starts the following week's game with -1 Leadership in the first battle round due to its leaders rallying wounded troops.
• If you win a game in the learn to play week and the escalation week 1  you will receive a Treasure Token for each win (max one per week), which can then be spent in the final escalation week game to buy a one-use magic item or special campaign upgrade (up to 25 points per treasure token spent, this can allow the roster limit to be exceeded).
• Winning the Campaign: Points are tracked across each week. A Win earns 3 points, a Draw earns 1 point, and a Loss earns 0 points. Additionally, players earn 1 bonus point each week if they fully paint any new units they add to their army roster. The winner of the campaign will receive a prize.
