Deathwind Orbital Strike Force

December 2008·p. 41

THE SHORT VERSION

Three missile-equipped Drop Pods form a coordinated element, with later pods landing near the command pod without scattering. Their improved sensors and ammunition increase the launchers’ range and barrage output. A full force combines three elements around a locator pod and grants Careful Planning. These pods carry no passengers: their purpose is to arrive directly inside the enemy position and saturate it with fire.

War in the North: Campaign Rules and Sequence

A nominated general carries Eye of the Gods rewards between battles and can eventually ascend, earning bonus campaign territory; a further insanity result instead risks irreversible Spawnhood. Daemonic Heralds regain greater forms according to their patron’s sacred number. Enhanced spellcasting also triggers a dangerous flux table when spells fail. The ordered campaign grows in points, preserves its general and links preliminary battles to later alliances and a final contest.
