Cauldron of War: Sacred Alignments

November 2024·p. 51

THE SHORT VERSION

Every objective begins as a dangerous, unaligned source of power that can inflict mortal wounds on nearby units. Completing Rites and Offerings makes a marker safe to score and also earns an immediate battle-round reward. Players therefore compete over the work of aligning the battlefield as well as possession of the resulting resources.

The popularity of the anniversary miniature prompts a closing invitation to suggest the magazine’s next special model.
