Rules description

Scenarios:

Round 1 – “Low Fog and Mud”
Opposing armies clash on a typically miserable spring day. The ground has been softened by days of constant rain, from the ever present low clouds, making the going slippery and dangerous.

Normal pitched battle with the following additional rules:
Flyers are restricted to a maximum Fly move of 10’’. They may elect to move using their ground movement as normal. Bat Swarms are unaffected.
Warmachine movement is halved.



Round 2 – “Braveheart”
You face the auld enemy one more. Your leaders give a stirring oratory exhorting their troops to throw themselves without abandon at their most hated foe. One regiment in particular is whipped into a frenzy.

Normal pitched battle with the following additional rules:
All units gain “hate” all enemies.
One unit (not including characters) may be given the frenzy special rule.
Corner deployment - Each army deploys in 30’’ (long edge) by 18’’ (short edge) rectangular deployment zones. (Wood elf players may only deploy their wood in their own deployment zone)



Round 3 – “Dark Magic Infuence”
Revenge and enemy soul hunger over the commanders. The dark sky and magic flux change the world.

Normal pitched battle with the following additional rules:
For killing enemy characters - twice points than ussual. Characters - should always issue chalanges.
The magic is unstable - the Irressible force can be at two 5, miscast can be at two 2. The same rule for disppelling.


Round 4 - “Sneaky Stealing”
You have hired the services of a clandestine mage to scout out and perhaps nullify the enemies’ abilities.

Normal pitched battle with the following additional rules:
Corner deployment - Each army deploys in 30’’ (long edge) by 18’’ (short edge) rectangular deployment zones. (Wood elf players may only deploy their wood in their own deployment zone)
A list of every magic item, demonic gift, bloodline power, big name, Brettonian vow etc. (if in doubt ask the Warhammer Category GM) must be given to your opponent (but not who/what has them) prior to deployment, you should also be prepared to give your opponent a brief description of what the item does and it’s points cost. (Note – Please prepare these lists in advance, and submit a copy along with your army list.) Upto two may be “nullified” – If “nullified” your opponent does not have the use of them for this battle. At the end of the game your opponent receives bonus victory points worth triple the points value of any items “nullified” (e.g. a 20pt item you “nullified” would be worth 60 extra victory points to your opponent at the end of the battle). Roll off to decide who “nullifies” items first.



Round 5 – “Hold Ground”
With your elites taking the fight for the enemy, your troops are tasked with capturing and holding an inspiring totem as well as pushing into enemy territory.

Normal pitched battle with the following additional rules:
All psychology tests may be re-rolled.
A central objective is worth 300 pts - count up the unit strength of all core units with at least one model within 6’’ of the objective at the end of the game. The army with the highest combined unit strength captures it. Only core units count for table quarter capturing/contesting purposes (summoned units do not count).
