Broheim notes: As Defend The Tomb except the chest begins in the middle of the complex while both warbands begin at the edges.
The warbands have heard rumours of a tomb in the area with treasure. Each warband is trying to find it first and make it back out of the tomb alive.
terrain
Use tiles to represent the tomb (see TC 17). Place the Burial chamber in the centre of the table and an entrance in room one of the corners of the table. If more than two warbands are playing, place as many entrance tiles as needed at the corners.

special rules
Each warband is trying to get to the centre chamber to get the treasure chest. Once there they must attempt to carry it out of the tomb. A warrior must be in contact with the treasure chest for a turn to pick it up. Once carrying it, he must move at half speed. If two warriors are carrying the chest they may move at normal speed. If a warrior routs whilst carrying the chest it must be dropped immediately in the tile he is in.
ending the game
If a warband routs, the fgame ends. If the treasure chest is removed from the board, that warband wins.
