Conduct

• First and foremost a casual affair that promotes camaraderie, gentlemanly behavior, meeting new hobby enthusiasts and most of all fun! While there is certainly a competitive aspect to this event, winning games should never take priority over good sportsmanship and civilized behavior. In the end, it is all about grownups playing with toy soldiers, rolling dice and enjoying it. Don’t forget it! So, if you feel that you are taking the game a bit too seriously, head to the bar, get a drink, count to ten and come back to the gaming table relaxed. We will not tolerate inappropriate behavior.
