During the ongoing digitization of our physical tournament ledgers, the council encountered a frantic margin note (scribbled in rapid Schweizerdeutsch during a particularly tense match) regarding a spatial anomaly in the combat phase. We cross-referenced this historical friction with the primary texts to establish a permanent ruling. The Tactical Query: “A unit of 5 Empire Knights gets flank-charged by a Giant. Against the odds, the knights manage to win the combat resolution. Can this single-rank unit legally lap round to bring more models into the fight against the flanking enemy?” The Norn Consensus: Yes. A single-rank unit charged in the flank is legally permitted to lap round with unengaged models, provided they are not utilizing the Bretonnian Lance formation . Mechanical Breakdown: While the core rulebook frequently references moving models from " rear ranks " the geometry of this specific engagement dictates the following physical realities on the tabletop: Singl...

The summer heat has intensified across the Old World, and the escalating border tensions have erupted into outright war. This week, the archives have recorded a staggering 44 engagements, ranging from brutal 250-point border patrol skirmishes to a massive 4000-point pitched battle! Evolution of the meta this week. The Dark Elves came from nowhere and climbed with a master stroke. While the Skaven and Chaos Dwarfs successfully defended their absolute dominance at the top of the ladder, the middle tiers saw violent tectonic shifts compared to Week 2: The Undead legions faltered under the pressure; the Vampire Counts slipped from #4 down to #6, and the Tomb Kings were pushed from #5 down to #7. Filling the power vacuum, the Dark Elves surged rapidly to the #3 position, and the Hordes of Chaos climbed aggressively from #6 to #4. At the bottom of the ladder, the Dogs of War made a miraculous recovery, driven by massive paychests, jumping past Kislev and Beastmen to seize...

Border Patrol Battle Report: Dark Elves  vs. Lizardmen BATTLE REPORT: AMBUSH IN THE STEAMING SWAMPS Welcome to another thrilling Border Patrol battle report! This week, we travel to the treacherous, flooded marshlands of Lustria. A Dark Elf raiding force commanded by Zambula (the local defender) has established a temporary encampment to secure plundered artifacts and slaves. However, the Slann Mage-Priests have decreed that their presence may not be tolerated, and a vanguard force of Lizardmen led by Sotek_Awakens (the invader) has emerged from the jungle canopy to enact cold-blooded vengeance. It is a tense 500-point Border Patrol skirmish. Zambula brings a finely tuned "Defender/Hammer" list relying on massed repeater crossbow fire and Dark Magic, while Sotek_Awakens brings a "Vanguard/Hammer" force relying on stealthy Skink scouts and the raw brute strength of Kroxigors! THE GENERALS' BRIEFING Zambula (...

A definitive mechanical weakness of the Dogs of War faction is their restricted logistical access to magical artifacts: specifically, their limitation to Common Magic Items. This vulnerability, which they share with Kislev allied contingents, mathematically disadvantages them against standard Ravening Hordes lists, and certainly against fully developed Army Books. However, historical documentation reveals a localized official ruleset: during the May 2005 Campaign Weekend, GW Italy published a campaign-exclusive list of Dogs of War magic items. These artifacts were subsequently re-validated in the July 2005 and 2006 Campaign Pack iterations. Norn Consensus Ruling: GW-Italy Dogs of War Magic Items After rigorous mechanical analysis of the GW-Italy Campaign-Weekend magic items for Dogs of War (Mercenaries), the Norn Consensus establishes the following standard for WHFB 6th Edition: Casual and Competitive Play: Approved. The mechanics and point costs are mathematically balanced and legiti...
