Infiltrators

Infiltrators can be used in this Scenario.

Battle Length

The battle lasts for five turns.

Battlefield

The game is played on a standard-sized Battlefield (we suggest 4’ x 4’).

Standard Terrain Rules

The player with the lower number of models in their force can place one of the following terrain pieces on the table:
  • One Building (a tower, house etc.)
  • One Piece of Dangerous Terrain (swamp, barbed wire etc.)
  • One Piece of Difficult Terrain (forest, rocky ground)
  • One Piece of Impassable terrain (12” river with a bridge or ford, sheer cliffs etc.) Maximum two pieces per battle
  • One Hill
  • One Fence/wall/other defendable terrain piece (max one per player)
  • 6” Section of a Trench
Each building must be placed at least 8” away from any table edge and at least 6” away from the nearest building terrain piece. In addition, both players should add six smaller terrain pieces like boxes, sandbags, bomb craters, wells, fountains etc. anywhere on the table to create cover.

Deployment

The players then take turns to deploy one model at a time, starting with the attacker.

Models must be set up wholly within their own deployment zone. If a player runs out of models to set up, the other player sets up all their models afterwards. Once the players have set up their models, deployment ends and the battle begins.

Victory Conditions

If one warband is wiped out completely the opposing warband wins. Otherwise, keep a running tally of Victory Points for both sides. The players accumulate Victory Points as follows:

  • By taking out enemies you earn VPs equal to the ducat value of the model (including any equipment) divided 10, rounding any fractions up to the nearest full number.
  • Mercenaries & Allies are worth three times their Glory Points cost as Victory Points.
  • Glorious equipment is worth three times the Glory Points cost of the equipment as Victory Points.

Morale

This is a fight to the finish, so a failed Morale Test will not end the battle. Instead, any warband that fails their Morale Test will be shaken instead. It is possible for both warbands to be shaken.

Glorious Deeds

Since this scenario ends the Campaign, there is no further need to acquire Glory Points.
