Attack of Eternal Regrets

Well it’s Tuesday again and so we did another scenario…..

Trent use the Iron hands and Me and Britt used the Ghazgkhull Thraka's War Horde…

The Armies:

Players choose armies to an agreed point’s total, with 3000 points per side recommended for play. Army should not contain any off board forces.

The Battlefield:

This battle is played on a 6 ft x 4 ft table divided into sections as shown in the map below. Set up the terrain on the battlefield in a mutually agreed manner, and must have 5 buildings/ruins pieces. Since Battlefield terrain rules are begin used in this scenario.

Deployment:

The army with the highest strategy rating deploys first and is call Force A and deploys its entire force in area marked on the map. Then Force B will deploy all his forces in the area marked on the map. After both sides have deployed, each player places a Single objective marker in their opponent's deployment zone and further than 15cm away from any table edge, with the player that deployed first placing the first objective.

First Turn:

Roll a D6 and add strategy rating to see who goes first.

Game Length:

This mission lasts for four turns.

Battlefield Terrain: Cryptic Constructions rules are to be used in this scenario.

Victory Conditions

Victory in the mission is based on two factors: The success of the initial Blitzkrieg and seizing the enemy's strategic objective in order to divide the enemy line. At the end of the game, the player who has scored the most Victory points has won the game. If the players have the same number of Victory points, the game ends in a draw.

Primary Objectives: Blitzkrieg Attack any enemy unit destroyed in the first game turn is worth 1 Victory point (Broken formations don’t count).

Seize the Tactical Objective: If you have control of the strategic objective in your opponent's deployment zone at the end of the game you gain 5 Victory points.

Attrition: The army which has destroyed the highest number of enemy formations at the end of the game gains an additional Victory point (Broken formations don’t count).
