Gauntlet of Fire

October 2022·pp. 124–125

THE SHORT VERSION

Attackers use Land Raider protection to carry infantry through a defended corridor towards safety. Dangerous ground constrains the dismounted alternative, and the final position of surviving infantry matters to scoring, testing whether the commander can exploit transport durability without mistaking the vehicle’s own survival for the whole mission.

Choke Point: Arcane Forge

An attacker splits into vanguard and flanking contingents to breach the huge chamber beneath Brinnock while defenders hold its protected approaches. Restricted areas and controlled reinforcement entry shape the engagement, with victory depending on how many attacking units force their way deep into the defended territory by the end.

Choke Point: Banks of Lake Retch

A foggy, overgrown approach to Lake Retch is haunted by a roaming monster that the defender can place before deployment. Units compete for points while dealing with this additional threat, with killing the denizen offering a reward and the final margin distinguishing a hard-fought minor victory from decisive control.

The Roaming Dead

Automated Deadwalker Zombies provide opposition for solo or cooperative games without a separate undead player. A distance-based behaviour table governs their shambling movement and sudden attacks, while replacement rules, fearless behaviour and a dedicated profile make the horde a renewable environmental threat rather than a conventional army with an independent commander.
