4: Breakthrough

When news of a huge deposit of wyrdstone starts circulating, warbands will mount expeditions to unearth the wealth. However, their rivals often try to block them, eager to claim all the wyrdstone for themselves.

terrain​

Each player takes it in turn to place a piece of terrain, either a ruined building, tower, or other similar item. We suggest that the terrain is set up within an area roughly 4' x 4'.

warbands​

Each player rolls a dice. Whoever scores higher decides which table edge the attacker sets up on. The attacker sets up first, within 8" of his table edge. The defender sets up anywhere on the table as long as all his warriors are at least 14" away from any attacker.

starting the game​

The attacker has the first turn.

ending the game​

If one of the warbands fails a Rout test, the game ends immediately and the routing warband loses. If the attacker manages to move two or more standing warriors to within 2" of the defender’s table edge, they have broken through and he wins the game.
