Scenario - Battle for Fendar's Crossing

Introduction

     The summer months have started to arrive again on the open plains. Perfect for another military campaign. Baron Herenimo needed to take the hamlet of Fendar's crossing as it provided the fastest route towards the Dwarf gold mines of Kazadrin which he needed to fund his ever growing army.

     Unfortunately his rival Baron Bogenthaust was the current owner and had heard of his plans and hired, or made deals with different factions to aid him in his defense. Both met at the outskirts of the hamlet and sent flanking forces, one through a mountain pass and the other through a bog swamp.

     It was also discovered that a Dwarven highway ran beneath the town and both forces sent units underground in an attempt to hit there enemy from behind.

Game Mechanics

There will be two Teams named Team A and Team B. Members will be randomly selected by lot. Each Team will elect a team captain who will submit which persons will be in each table. No veterans will be assigned on the main table.

The tables are:

• Main Table [ two players per team ]
• Left Table (Dwarven Pass) [ based on Team A ]
• Right Table (Bog Swamp) [ based on Team A ]
• Dwarven HighWay Table [ underground table ]

Any Unit from the outside tables that exit by the opponents' side will arrive on the main table on the opponents' side of it (12 inches) as if they pursued off board. For units at the Dwarven HighWay they enter the opponents' table edge.

Rules for each Table will be given once assignments have been made. It is just important to remember that all outside main tables are double breakthrough while the main table is take and hold.

VICTORY CONDITIONS:

The side with the most units within 6" of the building wins the campaign. NOTE: One must have a minimum of 20 models within the building first.

GAME TIME LIMIT: 4 HOURS.
