Brush War

Scarred by ancient magic, broad sections of the Ghostwind Plateau are entirely covered by thorny shrubs. Two warlords hope that the inhospitable terrain might hide clues to Stratis's first treasure.

Environment: This is an above-ground scenario for two players. Use the rules for the Rapid Strike scenario from Set 3, Fire and Ice, with the exceptions listed below.

  • Terrain: Each player places two pieces of terrain as normal. Aside from the terrain placed by the players, the entire board is considered covered in briars.

    Players can opt to swap out their normal terrain choices for a section of clear terrain. Use the back of a cut-out quagmire (or some other mutually agreeable terrain) as a section of clear terrain. Once a player has placed a section of clear terrain, no other terrain can be placed on top of it.

    Note that since briars have a -2" maximum movement penalty, most moves during the game will be at -2". Similarly, most ranged attacks will be against models that have +4 Cover.

  • Special Rule: To avoid entirely hosing dwarves and other models who have a speed of 3, the minimum move is 2" instead of 1" for this scenario.

  • Rewards: The warlords guessed correctly when they surmised that the brush held treasures. The victor rolls once on Table 5-20: Wondrous Items in the Ghostwind Campaign book.
