The Wizzard's Keep War

(Battle for the High Throne part 2)

Southern Front 2000 Fantasy Rules! Tournament



Background Story: Agar AxeCleaver won the Battle for the High Throne (Southern Front 99), but his victory was not complete enough to vanquish all his rivals for power. So the rediscovery of the long lost Wizzard's Keep was all it took to plunge the kingdoms back into war, as all those who would be High King battle for possession of the Keep and its power to rule all.


This is the official web site for the Southern Front 2000 FR! tournament (see below for more info on FR! or Southern Front). Standard tournament (1000 pts, 250 pts sideboard, level two MU) 15mm 2nd edition FR! armies were used. The Wizzard's Keep War was a round-robin tournament pitting your army against those of your rival claimants to the throne - fighting each battle in a different terrain of the land you are trying to rule. Winning a major victory was worth 4 tournament points, a minor victory 3, a tie battle 2, a minor defeat 1, and a major defeat was worth none. The player with the most tournament points after three rounds was declared the winner and the new High King. We also used a new tournament rule this year, the reduction of both armies moral clock at the end of each turn. This speeded up games and allowed them to be over within the time constraints of the tournament (and generally liked by the participants).
