Privateer Press is doing a month long organized play event called Feast of the Fallen that involves Warmachine / Hordes scenarios as well as Company of Iron scenarios. If the store orders the support kit there are special cards for CoI that can be gotten in it for participating players.

Here are the rules, including the scenarios:

Growing up I always wanted to be a marine biologist, because it seemed like the perfect combination of shooting people and studying animals.

My concern is the 3rd scenario. The first two seem balanced but the third looks like it would favor the side with the most models. I am hoping that a force of 4 models can generally be competitive against a force of 18 in this game but this made me realize that the scenario could have a large impact on that.

I think we will need to get a better look at the rules and scenarios, but I think that force composition vs. scenario victory conditions will have a much bigger impact in some scenarios than what we see in basic caster kill or in the Steam Roller scenarios. This is a good thing!

I'm hoping that CoI will have an emphasis that is more mission or objective-oriented that will force selection more interesting.
