Location: The Outpost, Sheffield

Event Overview

Welcome to BLKSITE - ZERO, a day of tactical sci-fi skirmish gaming using the BLKOUT ruleset.

Players will bring a small pool of units and handlers to the event, with the mission determining which units they deploy into each game. Missions will be announced on the day.

The aim is to provide a competitive but welcoming environment where players can adapt their forces between rounds and make tactical decisions based on the mission at hand.

Army / Unit Pool

Each player must bring the following:

Up to 5 Unit Cards

Up to 3 Handler Cards

Of the 5 Unit Cards, a maximum of 2 may be a BLKLIST unit.

This collection of Unit and Handler Cards forms the player's Unit Pool for the entire event.

Players may not change their Unit Pool between rounds.

Deployment

At the start of each round, the mission will specify how many units are required.

Players must select the required number of units from their Unit Pool for that game.

This means players will need to consider their available options and adapt their force selection to the mission being played.

Missions

Missions will be specified and announced on the day.

Players should therefore bring their complete Unit Pool and be prepared to deploy different combinations of units across the three rounds.
