How to Fight A Game in the Ladder Campaign:

1. Challenge someone else on the ladder to a game of Warhammer. Players are organised into a pyramid structure as shown above. You may challenge anyone in the row above you, and you can be challenged by anyone in the row below.
   
2. The player you challenged MUST answer within 2 weeks, or you forfeit their position to you. However a player does not have to fight the same person twice in a row, although a rematch is allowed if both players agree to it.
   
3. There is no set game for you to play. As long as you can agree, it is up to your opponent and you to agree on what points and scenario to use before the battle. You don’t even have to use the same army every week, just as long as you play a game of Warhammer. You can choose to use whatever rules you want, from allowing special characters to playtesting your own weird and wonderful ideas. If you can’t decide upon what sort of game to play, use the ‘standard’ rules given below.
   
4. Play the game.
   
5. Make sure one of the people running the campaign (either Joe or Sam) knows the result of your battle.
   
6. If you beat the person you challenged, you move into their row, and they fall down into your row.
   
7. Players unavailable for 4 weeks in a row, will be moved one row down each time. 

‘Standard’ Rules:

Choose a 2000 point army from Ravening Hordes or a Warhammer Armies book, with:

• No Special Characters
• Dogs of War units allowed as a Rare choice as discussed in WD251.
• A random scenario using the chart on page 197 of the Warhammer rulebook.

Joining the Ladder

You can join the ladder at any point, just find Joe or Sam and ask them to add your name. You will start of on the bottom row, but with a few good results you could be challenging for the top spot in no time! If you have any questions, or don’t quite understand what’s going on, Joe and Sam are the people responsible for running the ladder and will be happy to help you out.
