One warband is on the way back to their encampment with the wyrdstone they found

in the ruins when suddenly they are surrounded. Ambush! If the surprised warband

can get past the ambushers then they will be able to make it safely to their

encampment. Unfortunately this is only way back.

Scenario 011 - Ambush

Terrain

Set up all the buildings in to a single street. Behind the buildings are impassible

ruins. The only way out is along the street. The street may be as winding as you like

and should not be too narrow to fight in, but can have narrow bottlenecks at some

points. We suggest that the terrain is set up within an area roughly 2’x4’.

Setup

The attacker (the ambusher) deploys first anywhere on one half of the table. The

defender deploys 8" from the opposite table edge.

Special Rules

The defender is carrying D6 wyrdstone but not more than the number of heroes in

the warband. So if you roll a 6 but only have 4 heroes in the defending warband then

there are only 4 pieces of wyrdstone.

Starting the Game

The defender goes first.

Ending the Game

The battle ends when one warband fails a Rout test, the game ends immediately and

the routing warband loses. If the defender manages to move all their heroes that are

not out of action to within 2" of the opposite table edge, they have broken through

and he wins the game.

Experience

+1 Survives: If a Hero or a Henchman group survives the battle they gain +1

Experience.

+1 Winning Leader: The leader of the winning warband gains +1 Experience.

+1 Per Enemy Out Of Action. A Hero earns +1 Experience for each enemy he puts

Out Of Action.

+1 Breaking Through. Any Hero or a Henchman group earns +1 Experience for

breaking through enemy lines.

Wyrdstone

The defending warband gains all the wyrdstone they were carrying at the beginning

of the battle, minus the number of their own Heroes that were taken Out Of Action

during the game, down to a minimum of zero. The attacking warband gains one

shard of wyrdstone for each enemy Hero they take Out Of Action, up to the

maximum number of shard the opposing warband was carrying at the beginning of

the battle.
