Page "Warhammer 40,000" Paragraph 22

Unlike some wargames, Warhammer 40, 000 is not played on a hex map or any kind of pre-defined gameboard.

Instead, units can be placed from 12 inches from the edge to the edge of the table.

Range between and among units is important in all three phases of play.

Distance is measured in inches using a ruler.

Determination of line of sight, is made at " model's eye view "— gamers may bend down to observe the board from the specific model's point of view.

Victory is determined by points, awarded for completing objectives and / or destroying enemy units.
