The Armies
Each player chooses their force using the army list from a Warhammer Armies book, to an equal points value agreed before the game.
The Battlefield
Set up the watchtower as described below, and then set up any remaining terrain using the method described under the "Fighting a Battle" chapter. The watchtower counts as the first of the terrain pieces that must be set up.
A building must be set up at the centre of the table. Any building model can be used, but a Warhammer Watchtower is ideal. If you don't have a building model, use any other terrain feature of your choice.
Deployment
Roll off to see who controls the watchtower at the start of the battle. The player that controls the tower may deploy a single Core infantry unit of no more than 20 models in the tower if they wish to do so. The unit is not allowed to voluntarily leave the tower until after the first game turn of the battle has been completed. The opposing player then picks the half of the table they will deploy in. Players then take it in turn to place units on the table, starting with the player that doesn't control the watchtower, using the alternating units
method of deployment. Units may be placed anywhere in their half that is more than 12" from the centre line.
First Turn
The player that does not control the watchtower receives the first turn.
Game Length
Roll a D6 at the end of each game turn, starting with the end of game turn 4. Add the turn number to the dice roll. If the score is 10 or more, then the battle ends immediately. If the total is less than 10 then the battle continues for at least one more game turn.
Victory Conditions
At the end of the battle, the side that controls the watchtower is the winner. The watchtower is controlled by calculating the amount of Unit Strength of all units within 6" of it that are not fleeing on each side. Any unit garrisoning Watchtower counts as double their Unit Strength (to a maximum of +20) for this purpose. The side with the highest Unit Strength is the winner. In the unlikely event that neither player can claim to control the watchtower, use victory points to determine the winner of the battle.
Scenario Special Rules
None.
