Battle plan: Out of the Woods

You have travelled for day, slowly making your way back home. As you exit the thick forrest, you know there are only a few hours across the plains before you are safe. Suddenly you spot a pack of foul beasts about to pounce on a rival warband.

Place 4 tokens on the battlefield as shown on the map as if they were objectives. For each player, the 2 tokens farthest from their Shield deployment group are considered a WAY OUT.

A model may not deploy or end a move or disengage action within 2” of a token that is not their WAY OUT.

Each time a fighter ends a move action within 1” of a WAY OUT, remove that fighter from the battlefield, and the player controlling that fighter scores 3 points. Each time a player takes down an opposing fighter, that player scores 2 points. Chaotic beasts do not count as opposing fighter, for this purpose.

The battle ends after 4 battle rounds, and the player with the most points is the winner. A tied score results in a draw.

In addition at the end of the battle, if the leader of one warband was taken down and the leader of the opposing warband was not, the player whose leader was not taken down scores +1 point.

At the beginning of the first battle round, starting with the player who did not get initiative, each player take turn to place 1 chaotic beast wholly within 3" from the battlefield edge and more than 6” from the nearest opponent fighter. They do so until there are a total of 3 chaotic beasts on the table. Each model should be worth 90 points or less. These models are not considered part of any warband, but can be controlled using the special rules for chaotic beasts.

CHAOTIC BEASTS

When it is a player’s turn to choose a fighter from their warband to activate, they can instead choose a chaotic beast that has not yet activated. When they do so, the player first rolls a dice. On a 3-6 they can activate that fighter as normal. On a 1-2, their opponent can instead activate that fighter. When this happens, it still counts as the turn of the player who chose the chaotic beast, despite their opponent being the one who gets to activate it.
