Twistweald Quest: Spiteful Charms

November 2024·p. 105

THE SHORT VERSION

A Swarmsage establishes a bond with a chosen symbiotic spite through actions appropriate to that creature. Kills, healing, elevated positions, forced disengagements or enemy falls can each advance a different relationship. The eventual traits offer stronger attacks, enhanced shooting, recovery, limited flight, protection or venom, giving a leader several distinct paths of development.

Scenarios of the Month: Tunnels of Death

Strategic Reserves can emerge behind enemy deployments from the second round, reflecting subterranean outflanking. Holding a command centre allows units near board edges to enter the tunnels again. Conventional objective scoring sustains pressure, while thirty endgame points for retaining the command centre make home defence crucial even as reserves threaten the rear.

From the third round, controlling all four objectives immediately wins the battle, creating a threat beyond steadily accumulating points. The underdog may Rally while in combat, offering a way to resist an opponent nearing complete control.

Cauldron of War

This multiplayer expansion supports four- or six-player teams and three- or four-player free-for-alls. It defines how allied models interact, sequences shared turns and combat, and adjusts shooting into fights between other opponents. Underdog command points and treacherous reactions encourage negotiation and opportunism, while deployment diagrams and mission-sequence changes make the format usable across different player counts.
