Battle for the Northern Gate

THE SHORT VERSION

Attackers with twice the defenders’ points advance along a causeway or scale the surrounding cliffs. Defeated attacking units can return, making the assault a sustained test of the fortress rather than a finite skirmish. The double gatehouse, magical wards and boiling oil complicate entry. The attackers must overwhelm the defence or establish sufficiently strong units inside Middenheim before the ten-turn battle ends.
