Victory Conditions

MISSION SPECIAL RULES

Raging Inferno: At the start of each turn and before the strategy roll, both players will roll a D6 and player who rolls the highest will place a Firestorm marker on the table. A Firestorm marker is the Orbital Bombardment template that has a diameter of 12cm and is topped by a suitable representation of fire. The marker scatters randomly 3D6 cm once it has been placed. The marker can’t be place any closer than 20 cm’s near an enemy formation. Any models within 15cm of the marker suffer a hit on 5+ and can make normal saves. Firestorm markers remain in play and will cause hits against models within 15cm at the start of each turn.

Burning World: Furthermore, if a Firestorm marker ends up on or in a piece of terrain, then that terrain burst into flames and becomes Dangerous terrain, if it were not also already. In addition the terrain piece now blocks line of sight entirely for any model.

Summary

That was another fun game, although it look like a rematch is on the cards again..Oh and I didn't play the ATML..Any ways the change to who gets to place objective markers and the firestorm marker, seam to work well. Although placement of the objective may needs looking at…
