The Death Of Incentives’

 

Well it Tuesday and so we did another scenario…

Anyways Me and Britt used the Emperor's Children(Force B) (4.0) and Trent used the Dark Angels 3.0(Force A)…

Armies

Both sides choose armies to an agreed point’s total. This game is recommended for armies of between 2,000 and 3,000 points, with the Force B will have 25% more points available to them in all cases than the Force A (so, for example, if  the Force A have 2,000 points to spend, then the Force B would have 2,500 points and so on).

The Battlefield

This battle is played on a 6 ft x 4 ft table divided into three sections as shown in the diagram below. Set up the terrain on the battlefield in a mutually agreed manner, with at least three sizable (minimum 15cm across) pieces of terrain placed in each table section. At least three piece of terrain must be water type…The Force A side may choose a single piece of terrain within the middle table section to represent Force A rallying point.

Deployment

Before deployment both sides roll a dice and the highest score, can choose to be Force A or Force B .The Force A player deploys their entire army within the table's central section. No Force A formations may be held in reserve even if they would normally be able to do so. The Force B splits his force into to equal forces points wise. The deploys one of each of these forces in Force B deployment zone. Teleporting, planetfall formation/units, can enter play from Turn 2 for force B.

First Turn

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

Battlefield Terrain:

Mysterious Rivers, lakes and pools rules are to be used in this scenario.

Game Length

This mission has a game length of at least six turns. At the end of the sixth rum, roll a D6. On the result of a 4+, a seventh and final turn is played.

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 point’s the game is a draw.

Main Objectives

Absolute Annihilation (Force B): At the end of the game Force B receives 1 victory point for each enemy unit that has been completely destroyed. Formations that are broken at the end of the game, or formations that are not on the board at the end of the game, count as having been destroyed (bombers/Fighter Bombers/Fighter don’t count). War engines are worth 2 victory points if destroyed and if a Supreme commander is slain this is worth 3 victory points.

We Still Bear (Force A):  For every Force A formation still surviving at the end of the battle, the Force A player gains 2 Victory points.

Summary

Well that was interesting. After the way it went for Dark Angels in turn 1, I thought they would lose the game. Anyway we are going to try the scenario again next week with different armies.

I need to tweak the terrain rules for the river etc..

Tweak the length of the game maybe..

Look at overwatch for Force A
