Character Limitations
- One character must be the General (Give them a name!)
- When writing their muster lists, neither player may spend more than 150-points (25% of their army’s total points value) on any single character.
Unit Limitations:
To represent the small size of the forces that took part in such battles, neither player may spend more than:
> 210 points (35% of their army’s total points value) on a single Core unit.

Secret Objectives Cont.
At the start of each game, each player must choose one of their secret objectives and make a note of it on a piece of paper which should then be placed face-down at the edge of the battlefield.
At the end of the game, when calculating victory points, both players reveal their secret objective. If they have achieved theirs, they win a VP bonus as stated in that objective description.
After each round, when submitting results to the scorekeeper, each player must also record which secret objective they chose for that round, and whether they were successful in achieving it.
You may only use each secret objective once.
+ + Battlefield + +
All scenarios will be played on a battlefield measuring 30″ x 44″.
+ + Terrain Features + +
+ Hills
- Beyond the Crest: If a hill lies between two models and if neither model is upon the hill, a line of sight can only be drawn between them if an uninterrupted line can be drawn between their bases without crossing over or through the hill.
- Vantage Point: A unit on a hill can fire with one additional rank compared to a unit on flat ground.
- In addition, any unit that is entirely on a hill can draw a line of sight across or through other units or models that are not themselves on a hill. However, due to its elevated position, a unit that is entirely on a hill can also be seen more easily. Therefore, any unit that is not on a hill can draw a line of sight to a unit that is entirely on a hill across or through other units or models.
+ Woods
- Woods are treated as difficult terrain.
- Woodland Boundaries: A wood terrain feature must have a clearly defined edge. This allows individual trees to be removed and replaced to facilitate the movement of models.
Regardless of the position of any individual trees within the terrain feature, any model or unit counts as being behind partial cover as long as up to half of the model, or up to half of the models within the unit, is within the woods (i.e., within the terrain feature’s clearly defined edge).
- Arboreal Gloom: Woods of any size are dark places, filled with branches and trailing vines. Seeing clearly through such arboreal gloom is difficult to say the least. If a wood lies between two models and if neither model is within the wood, a line of sight can only be drawn between them if an uninterrupted line can be drawn between their bases without crossing over or through the wood.
+ Ruins
- Ruins are treated as impassable terrain.
Impassable terrain cannot be crossed during the course of a battle – units must go around it. In addition, if it is not possible to align a charging unit to the enemy unit due to the presence of impassable terrain, the charging unit has made a disordered charge.
--------------------------------------------
+ + Scenarios + +
+ Round 1: The Tower
(all out brawl!)
The nearby tower may prove useful in locating the fallen star. Curses! You aren’t the only faction seeking it, quickly dispatch the rival army before they get in your way!
- Map: Pitched Battle (BMGC: P.26)
- Objectives: Special objectives
2 x Special objectives will be placed around the map per the special objectives rule (10 points to the closest controlling unit at the start of each turn; controlling units must be US5 or more to control an objective.
Place a tower on the map, this feature will be treated like impassable terrain.
+ Round 2: Supply Run
(Gather your resources!)
That last fight took more out of you than you realised. Luckily there’s a small village up ahead where you can resupply…what was that noise?
- Map: Meeting engagement
- Objectives: Special objectives, Domination
4 x Special objectives will be placed around the map per the special objectives rule (10 points to the closest controlling unit at the start of each turn; controlling units must be US5 or more to control an objective
Domination: https://tow.whfb.app/matched-play/domination
+ Round 3: The Fallen Star
(Special Feature)
At last, you’ve found it, the fallen star in all its splendor, but it looks like you weren’t the only one…
- Map: close encounter
- Objectives: Special feature
Special features: The Meteorite
You stand before the fallen meteorite in all its glory, you may not be the first, you certainly won’t be the last. The meteorite may take the form of any special feature no more than 6” at its widest point
The meteorite follows all rules for the ‘special features’ secondary objective rules with the following amendments:
- Controlling a special feature: During each Start of Turn sub-phase, a special feature can be controlled by a single Core unit that is within 6" of it, that has a Unit Strength of 5 or more, that is not fleeing and that has not succumbed to Stupidity
- Still fresh: during each start of turn subphase, the unit controlling the special feature takes 1d3 strength 3 hits with the 'flaming attack' special rule
Victory Points: if either player controls a special feature at the end of the battle, they win a bonus of 100 VP
+ + Unusual Properties + +
Special features are possessed of ever-changing and highly unusual properties. During any Start of Turn sub-phase in which a unit is determined to be in control of a special feature, that unit's controlling player rolls on the table below to determine the special features current unusual property. The controlling unit benefits from that Unusual Property until the end of that turn:
> 1-2: A Tingle in the Air: The air around the special feature tingles strangely, and those that stand too close report of a funny taste in their mouths.
- Whilst a unit controls this special feature, it gains Magic Resistance (-3).
> 3-4: Honour Thy Forebears: Filled with a sense of righteous pride by the sight of this special feature, those that control it will defend it vigorously.
- Whilst a unit controls this special feature, it gains the Hatred (all enemies) special rule.
> 5-6: An Inspirational Sight: The special feature fills all who look upon it with courage and inspires them to ever greater acts of bravery.
- Whilst a unit controls this special feature, it gains the Unbreakable special rule.

--------------------------------------------
+ + Rules, Discrepancies, & Violations + +
If there is ever a rule in question; (discrepancy in list, representation of minis, misleading information, questionable errors, consistent misplay etc.), give the playing the benefit of the doubt as much as is reasonable. If this continues during play, if a rule/situation etc. is in doubt with differing opinion between players, call a Judge immediately for a ruling. Failure to do so may result in a warning for both parties for intentional stalling and not following procedure. In the case of slow-play, both parties must consent to the use of a chess-clock if one is requested to be used.
