Scenario 2: Last Stand

March 2007·pp. 66–67

THE SHORT VERSION

A depleted Dwarf force fortifies the centre of an underground chamber against a much larger Night Goblin army. Panic immunity lets the defenders fight to the bitter end, and victory depends on causing sufficient enemy losses rather than necessarily surviving. Campaign rewards follow the outcome, while the accompanying fiction reveals a crazed prisoner escaping with knowledge of something even the goblins fear beneath the mine.

Scenario: War in the North

Two 750-point alliances contest a battlefield whose terrain features score alongside broken armies and slain leaders. Random conditions may impose darkness or reduce warriors’ Courage, making the same engagement play differently on a return visit. The game ends when either side falls to a quarter of its initial numbers, and powerful creatures count more heavily when determining terrain control, encouraging a balance between killing and occupation.

Scenario 1: Grombold’s Gambit

Grombold’s thousand-point rearguard faces twice its strength in Goblins amid dense forest. The attackers deploy on several sides and take the first turn, forcing the Dwarfs to inflict damage while surrounded. Only destruction and reduced units score during the five-turn struggle. A Dwarf victory reinforces the next encounter, while a Goblin victory earns extra troops for the campaign’s final confrontation.
