The scenarios given on the following few pages represent pitched battles, where the armies are of roughly the same size and the situation gives neither side a particular advantage. They are each designed to give both sides an equal chance of winning, and have few, if any, scenario special rules.

There are two ways that you can choose which pitched battle to use. The first is to pick randomly; by rolling on the Pitched battle table shown below:

The second method is to discuss the matter with your opponent and agree which battle you both want to fight. This gives the maximum amount of choice and ensures that you don't end up in a scenario that neither of you wants to play.

Each pitched battle contains the information you need to get set up and playing, broken down into the following categories:

• The Armies (this will normally be two armies of equal points value)

• The Battlefield

• Deployment

• First Turn

• Game Length, Victory Conditions

• Scenario Special Rules

This format governs all Warhammer scenarios – not just the ones found in this volume.
