Battlefield Challenges: Dawn Attack

November 2009·pp. 78–79

THE SHORT VERSION

An attacker begins with mobile units against a defender holding the opposite quarter. Four objectives encourage pressure into the neutral areas as well as the defended corner. Night Fighting lasts until a random sunrise, while different reserve restrictions shape the two forces. Jervis recommends repeated games because attack and defence demand different tactical approaches.

Editorial: The Vermin at the Door

Mark writes as an increasingly alarmed Imperial scribe hearing rats outside his study. Jeremy Vetock’s new Skaven book becomes a forbidden scholarly account that confirms the rumours. References to Middle-earth and distant armoured heroes offer brief diversions from the threat. The playful introduction makes Imperial denial part of the issue’s launch theme.

Blood Pact

The novel begins a new Gaunt’s Ghosts story arc with the regiment stationed away from the front. A captured Chaos officer creates a dangerous intelligence problem. His insistence on speaking to Gaunt draws the commissar into events that threaten the apparent respite. The notice presents intrigue and pursuit alongside the series’ familiar military setting.

Innocence Proves Nothing

The sequel to Scourge the Heretic follows Inquisitorial operatives on Scintilla. Their investigation involves two criminal organisations and the danger behind their activities.
