Yes, tiebreakers are usually done by points left on the board, or sometimes by points taken *off* the board. There is partial-card scoring (points per wound inflicted) and full card scoring (point only count if the entire army card was destroyed). All of that is up to the tournament organizer.

I think a tie is an awesome result! It'll certainly mess up your win/loss percentage but that's a story to tell.

Just when you thought it was all right, someone made it alright.

Good trades with - Porkins / xraine69 / mac122 (x2) / frylock / Ztimster (x2) and probably others I forgotten to mention...sorry.

Thanks. I was asking if there's something beyond points to break ties? Like if one player has two stingers left and another has two greenscales? They'd have a points differential of zero (using either full card or partial).

And I agree a tie is a great way to end that story. If it was higher stakes (like ScapeCon/GenCon General Wars, Main Event, etc), I'd be curious to know how it'd be ruled.

Not to the best of my knowledge. Normally a tie is left as that for purposes of WL ratios.

This happened to me at a tournement. I played against my wife and the game when to time. After counting up points, we had the same amount remaining on the map. Good fun.

If it were the championship round of say, GenCon, the players might agree to a rematch. Smaller events held in a game shoppe may consider both players the champions.

My customs.
NE Ohio Tourney - TBA
SW Ohio Tourney - NHSD 550 points

Perfect - I hadn't heard of a tie before, so thanks for sharing that! Something poetic about getting to a tie with your wife.
