MATCHED PLAY PRINCIPLES

Matched Play Scenarios are designed to pit players against each other in a battle of wits and generalship to see who will emerge victorious. This can throw up some seemingly strange situations, so we have included some important principles that will apply in the Matched Play Scenarios. Some may apply only to Scenarios with certain special rules or victory conditions, but most will apply to all Scenarios in some way. Below is a list of Matched Play Principles to remember:

  • In Scenarios that award Victory Points for killing the enemy General, you will gain these Victory Points if the General is removed as a casualty in any way, such as fleeing the board or a Hero model with the Will of Evil special rule being reduced to 0 Will points.

  • In Scenarios that require models to hold Objective Markers, models that can temporarily switch sides will always count as scoring for their original owning player.

  • In Scenarios where you score Victory Points for wounding the General or a specific Hero, if the Hero in question has been wounded and then subsequently healed, Victory Points will still be scored as if they had been wounded.

  • In Scenarios where you score Victory Points should a particular Hero have spent Fate Points (or having a particular Hero not have spent any Fate Points), then should they spend a Fate Point and then regain it in some manner, then it will still count as being spent.

  • If a model has a special rule that comes into play when in range of an Objective Marker, then the range will be dependent on how close to an Objective Marker the model needs to be in order to count as scoring for the purpose of Victory Points.

  • If an Army suffers enough casualties that at the start of the next turn they would be considered Broken, but the game ends before the next turn can start, they will still count as being Broken for the purpose of scoring Victory Points.

  • In Scenarios where models can exit the board, only part of the model's base needs to exit the board to allow them to move off the board.

  • When deploying models within 6" of their Warband's Captain, they must still be within 6" of the Warband's Captain's base if they deploy on an elevated position.

  • When playing on a 6'x4' board (typically in 1,000 point games), players must choose one of the long board edges as their board edge as shown in the maps. When playing on a 4'x4' board, players may choose any board edge as their board edge as they are all the same length.
