PFE100: War of Lost Faiths take 2

Well it’s Tuesday again and this time we took the War of Lost Faiths scenario out for a test spin, with changes…

Trent played the Scions of Iron and Britt used the Emperor's Children….

Armies

This mission is fought between 3,000 points Of Force A and 4,000 points of Force B. Force B must include a Supreme commander and may not include any fortifications. Force A may not contain any Drop Pods or Flyers of any kind, and must include a Supreme commander too.

The Battlefield

This mission is played on a 6 ft x 4 ft board. The terrain should follow the tournament terrain setup, but may include craters, ruins, debris, barricades, trench lines, gun emplacements and this is set up by the Force A player in any manner desired.

Deployment

The Force A player deploys all of their army anywhere on the battlefield not within 30cm of any table edge. The Force A player may not hold any units in reserve, even if a unit's individual special rules would allow them to do so. Once the Force A player has deployed all forces, then Force B player nominates a single table edge. The entire force of Force B that does not arrives via Teleporting, Drop pods or by air transport; move on from this table edge. Also three objective markers will be place in the “Force A deployment area”, these need to 45 cm apart. Two will be placed by Force A and one by Force B. Force A may have up to 4 formations on overwatch.

First turn

The Force B player automatically has the first turn. Then from 2 turn on, roll to see who goes first…

Game Length

This mission is four turns long

Victory Conditions

At the end of the game the player with the most Victory points has won the game. If both players have the same number of Victory points the game is a draw.

Primary Objectives

A player gains 3 points for every victory objective marker they hold, at the end of the game. Broken formation can’t claim objective markers...

Secondary Objectives

Completely destroying the formation that has the Supreme commander is worth an additional Victory point. This means that the Force B player completely destroys the formation with the Supreme commander in it, he/she will gain a total of 2 Victory point…. At the end of the game each player receives 1 victory point for each enemy formation that has been completely destroyed.
