VOTE 1 Format 2017 (reloaded)

1. Number of detachments per player and team
a) limit them
b) no limits

2. Number of Detachments, only valid if 1a is picked
We have two options here, either pick a certain amount per player that can be picked or allow for example a maximum of 18 or say 20 detachments on the team (23 was the average this year). This again will make teams compromise in some parts and it will benefit the pairing process a little more as it will see teams make different choices and make everything be less cookie-cutter perhaps.
a) limit on player level
b) limit on team level

3. Limit on player level
a) 4 detachments
b) 3 detachments
c) 2 detachments
d) 1 detachment

4. Limit on team level
a) 20 detachments total per team
b) 18 detachments total per team
c) 16 detachments total per team

5. Limit on special type of detachments
Some suggestions have been made regarding. Since the special Decurion type detachments override the normal restrictions of designing an army and not every codex has them, it has been suggested to have these special type of detachments like the sons of medusa, the warhost or decurion types, count as 2 detachments instead of one as they offer a great toolbox and bypass the normal army building process. This would even the odds a little perhaps?
a) Decurion type detachments count as 2 detachments for ETC purposes
b) no changes

6. Limit on detachments and named formations
Suggestions have been made to limit the ability to spam certain no-brainer formations in order to force teams to make other choices and make things more interesting overall perhaps. This restriction will for instance stop teams taking two librarian conclaves from different factions or the helldrake air superiority detachment from different factions, or several gladiuses on the team as another example.
a) one of each detachment (CAD, Allied Detachment in this restriction as well) per list and one of each formation on the team
b) keep current restrictions regarding multiple cad/allied/formations

7. Limit on formations
a) apply the limit of no more than one of the same named formations to decurion type formations as well
b) no limit for decurion type formations

8. SHV restrictions
a) lift the restrictions on the number of these that can be taken per list
b) keep current restrictions

9. SHV restrictions, only valid if 8a was chosen
a) no limit
b) each SHV must have a different main weapon loadout

10. GC restrictions
a) lift the restrictions on the number of these that can be taken per list
b) keep current restrictions

11. GC restrictions, only valid if 10a was chosen
a) no limit
b) each GC must have a different main weapon loadout

Not that for Qs 9 & 11, the "main weapon loadout" is considered to be the combination of "arm weapons" for Imperial/Renegade Knights (i.e. not heavy stubbers etc), the "arm weapons" for the Wraithknight (i.e. not scatter lasers etc), the Pulse Driver Cannon or Pulse Blastcannon for the stormsurge, etc etc. For those SHVs and GMC that cannot change their main weapon loadout, this therefore still restricts them to 0-1.

12. Alliances at the ETC
a) allow Come the apocalypse alliances
b) disallow come the apocalypse alliances

13. Shall we adjust the pointsize (1850) played at the ETC?
a) Yes
b) No

14. Only valid if 9a was chosen as an option
a)1700 or more
b) 1600 or 1650
c)1500

15. Only valid if 10a was chosen
a) 1750 pts
b) 1700 pts

16. Only valid if 10b was chosen
a) 1650 pts
b) 1600 pts

17. use of Lyanden book
a) allow
b) keep the ban

18. Wipeout at the ETC
a) automatic 20-0 for player achieving the wipeout
b) have the player achieving the wipeout play out his turns and score what points he may

19. How would you prefer mission scoring
a) system as it is in the pack now, add up all the points, make difference, have score
b) compartimentalised with eternal war, Kp, maelstrom and secondaries each being a subset bringing its own points

20. Allow first round challenges at the ETC as long as both teams accept the challenge?
a) yes
b) no

22. Allow the use of faction specific maelstrom decks?
