Set up the terrain on the battlefield in a mutually agreed manner, making sure that there are at least 2 forest/woods as part of the setup of terrain. See the battlefield terrain rules below.

Place Primary Objectives: After you have set up terrain, the players take it in turns to place D3+2 primary objectives, each of which must be placed in an identifiable piece of terrain at least 15 cm away from any table edge - rearrange the terrain if needs be to make this possible. The objective marker is placed as close to the centre of the terrain piece as possible, and on the ground floor of multi-storey terrain.

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…
