One warband is out searching the ruins of Mordheim for loot
when it is attacked by an enemy warband. The defenders are spread thinly and
must muster a defense quickly to drive off their attackers.
Terrain
Starting with the attacker, each player takes it in turn to place a piece of
terrain, either a ruined building, tower, or other similar item. We suggest that
the terrain is set up within an area roughly 4' x 4'.
Setup
The defending player rolls a D6 for each Hero and
Henchman group in his warband, in any order he chooses. On a 1-3, they are
elsewhere in the ruins and turn up later as reinforcements. On a 4-6 they
are deployed at the start of the game. Note that at least one Hero or
Henchmen group will be present at the start. If all roll 1-3, the last Hero
or Henchmen group will automatically be deployed at the start of the battle.
The defender deploys his available Heroes and Henchmen on
the table. No model may be closer than 8" to another model, as the warband
is spread out wide to search the ruins. No model may be deployed closer than
8" to a table edge.
The attacker deploys his whole warband within 8" of a
random table edge, as shown below. He may choose which edge to nominate as
‘1’ before rolling to see where he deploys.
Special Rules
The defender, at the start of his second and subsequent turns, may roll a D6 for
each of his Henchmen groups or Heroes not yet on the table. On a 4+ they move on
in the movement phase from a random table edge as shown below – roll a D6. All
reinforcements for that turn arrive from the same edge and may charge on the
turn in which they arrive.
Starting the Game
The attacker always gets the first turn.
Ending the Game
The game ends when one warband fails a Rout test. The routing warband loses.
