Round One - Sound the Alarm!

Two small forces are patrolling the borders of their empires when they unexpectedly come into contact with one another! Fearing that the worst has yet to come on, your commander quickly instructs the troops to send a carrier pigeon back to the capital and ask for reinforcements. Amidst all of the confusion and commotion, the carrier pigeon has escaped! In addition to fending off the enemy, you need to track down that confounded pigeon and deliver your message. The Battlefield: -Terrain will be set up by the tournament organizer prior to the start of the tournament. This terrain will remain fixed throughout the day. Unless otherwise noted, treat all forests as mysterious, all rivers as mysterious, and all hills are normal hills. Please ask the tournament organizer if clarification is needed with regards to terrain. Deployment: -Follow the rules outlined on page 148 of the main rulebook. First Turn: -Follow the rules outlined on page 148 of the main rulebook. Game Length: -Follow the rules outlined on page 148 of the main rulebook. Victory Conditions: -Use victory points to determine the winner of the battle: Difference Result 0 250 88 251+ 12 4 Scenario Special Rules: -Before deployment, each player places an objective marker (roughly the size of a penny) in the center of the board and scatters it 2d6 in a random direction. If a hit is rolled, the objective marker scatters in the direction of the little arrow. The objective marker will stop 1 away from any piece of impassible terrain. Roll off to see which player places their objective marker first. -Any unit may pick up an objective marker (their own or their opponents) by moving/marching into contact with it. A unit may not pick up an objective marker by charging/fleeing/overrunning/pursuing through it. No single unit may control more than one objective marker at a given time. If a unit flees for any reason or is destroyed outright they will drop the objective marker at the center of the units position prior to fleeing/being destroyed. If a unit with an objective marker is broken or destroyed in close combat, the enemy unit immediately takes control of the objective marker (unless they already control an objective marker). Note that the enemy unit does not have to pursue in order to steal the objective marker. Battle Point Modifiers: +2 Battle Points for successfully moving your own objective marker off of any table edge by the end of the game. This is accomplished when a unit controlling your own objective marker moves into contact with (or overruns/pursues off of) any table edge. +1 Battle Point if your opponent fails to move their objective marker off of the table by the end of the game.

Round Two Giant Troubles

Youve succeeded in delivering your message. The carrier pigeon returns with a less than reassuring response. Harsh economic times have befallen your capital, and the standing army has been dissolved. However, the message contains a newly developed spell which you have been assured will guarantee your victory on the battlefield. Lets hope this works The Battlefield: -Terrain will be set up by the tournament organizer prior to the start of the tournament. This terrain will remain fixed throughout the day. Unless otherwise noted, treat all forests as mysterious, all rivers as mysterious, and all hills are normal hills.

Victory Conditions: -Use victory points to determine the winner of the battle: Difference Result 0 250 88 251+ 12 4 Scenario Special Rules: -Before deployment, each player selects one of their wizards to gain access to a new spell. In addition to their normal spell(s), the wizard counts as knowing Sharlas Superior Spell of Summoning. Sharlas Superior Spell of Summoning Cast on a 12+ The wizard intones a series of beastly grunts, snorts, and roars, imitating the mating call of a female Giant. Sharlas Spell of Superior Summoning is a hex spell with a range of 18 that may be cast upon an unengaged enemy unit. Once cast, you must make the mating call (however you interpret it) in order to let the tournament organizer know that the Giant is needed. Place the Giant in base contact with the front of the enemy unit, being sure to maximize contact (if there is no space to place the Giant, the spell fails). The Giant counts as having charged, and the enemy unit is too surprised to declare a charge reaction. Once cast, the Giant remains in play until it is slain or another player somewhere in the tournament (including your opponent) successfully casts the spell. Note that your opponent receives no victory points for slaying the Giant. The Giant follows the rules found at the end of this document. Battle Point Modifiers: +2 Battle Points for successfully casting Sharlas Spell of Superior Summoning. +1 Battle Point if you successfully slay the Giant cast by Sharlas Spell of Superior Summoning.

Round Three Unwavering Courage!

Your troops are visibly shaken after the traumatizing advances of the Giants in the height of mating season. There is no worse time to see a comrade stuffed down a Giants pants! As the battle rages on, you must instill your troops with courage by hoisting your banners high and despoiling those of your enemy. The Battlefield: -Terrain will be set up by the tournament organizer prior to the start of the tournament. This terrain will remain fixed throughout the day. Unless otherwise noted, treat all forests as mysterious, all rivers as mysterious, and all hills are normal hills.

This includes both your own standards and any enemy standards you have captured. Fleeing standards do not count. If a unit which has captured an enemy standard is fleeing or has been destroyed at the end of the battle, the captured standard is not counted.
