AOF: SKIRMISH - BLOODBATH
Mission Background
Sometimes all that the Havoc Gods are
looking for are warriors that can brutally
overwhelm their foes and drown them
in their own blood. Those that oblige are
gifted with powerful boons, which keep
the blood flowing.
The Battlefield
For this mission you’ll need a 4’x4’ table
with at least 15-20 pieces of terrain on it.
The Armies
For this mission you’ll need two armies
of equal point cost, and each army must
have at least one hero.
Deployment
The players roll-off, and the winner
picks zone A or B to be their deployment
zone, with their opponent taking the
opposite. Then the players alternate in
placing one unit each within their
deployment zone, starting with the
player that won the deployment roll-off.
First Turn
The players must roll-off to see who gets
the first turn.
Objectives
Before the game beings, count the total
number of units in each player’s army.
At the end of each round, players get
1 VP if they destroyed more enemy units
than their opponent during that round,
plus 1 VP if they destroyed at least
double as many units as their opponent
during that round.
Players also get 2 VPs if they destroyed
at least half of the units in the enemy
army, as well as 1 VP if they killed at
least one enemy hero.
The game ends after 4 rounds, and the
player that scored most VPs wins.
