BATTLEFIELD
This scenario requires a space of about 24” x 24”. The main
feature for this battlefield is an oasis which is placed in the
center of the table. The oasis should be no larger than
8” x 8”. Small groups of palm trees and rock clusters can
then be placed about the board.
OBJECTIVES
The Attackers are traveling at night and need to reach the
oasis before the sun comes up or they die of thirst. The
Scorpions are well-used to stalking prey lured in by the life-
sustaining oasis.
If at the end of the game there are 25% or more of the
starting number of Attackers’ models remaining, then the
Attacker wins. If there are fewer than 25% of the Attacker’s
remaining, the Defender wins and the feasting can begin.
The Attackers need to get to the oasis and drink, and they
need to do it before the scorching sun rises. Therefore, the
game ends after eight turns, at sunrise.
DEPLOYMENT
The Attackers start on the northern table edge, up to 6” in.
The Giant Scorpions are then placed around the southern
edge of the oasis, touching it where possible.
