Set-up

If the tables have been set up by the organiser, move straight to deployment. If the players are setting up the terrain, place and scatter terrain as described on page 16. In either case, ensure a single large hill (measuring no more than 12" x 18") is placed in the centre of the battlefield. Once placed, this hill does not scatter.

Deployment

Once the battlefield has been set up, the winner of a roll-off chooses their deployment zone (A or B), as shown on the map below. Once deployment zones have been chosen, the winner of this roll-off deploys the first unit. Players deploy their armies using the alternating units method.

Game Length

The recommended game end conditions for this scenario are Random Game Length, or Break Point.

Scenario Special Rules

The Hill: In this scenario, the hill can be controlled at the end of each turn by a single Core unit that is within 9" of its centre (the centre of the battlefield), that has a Unit Strength of 10 or more, that is not fleeing and that has not succumbed to Stupidity. If two or more eligible units are within 9" of the centre of the hill, the closest unit controls it. If two or more eligible units are equally close to the centre of the hill, the unit with the higher Unit Strength controls it. However, if two or more eligible enemy units are equally close to the centre of the hill and both have the same Unit Strength, the hill is 'contested' and neither unit controls it.

Running up-hill: Vanguard moves cannot be made in this scenario.

Victory Points: The player who controls the hill at the end of each player's turn wins a bonus of 100 Victory Points.
