Scenario 11: Rising Tides
By Dic Lombardi
terrain
All players take it in turn to place pieces of terrain
according to the description given of the Mannsport Sea
(see Environmental Rules.) we suggest that the terrain is
roughly 2’x4’ of land and 4’x4’ of sand representing the low
tide beach.
set-up
D3 cargo objective markers are included for each warband.
Each player deploys their respective cargo objective
markers anywhere on the Beach, at least 6 inches from
another cargo marker. Please note; when searching cargo
markers every 6" from the beach you will add +1 to the
roll.
All players roll a D6 to see who deploys first. Whoever
rolls the highest sets up first, on the land, within 8” of the
table edge of his choice. With his opponents deploying
after, also on land. No warbands may deploy on the beach.
starting the game
Both players roll a D6. The highest scoring player takes the
first turn.
special rules.
The Tide: the tides in the Mannsport are erratic and
dangerous, wizards and practitioners of magic blame the
winds of Shyish in the area.
After the first round the Tide advances 2D6” forward.
Every round after the first roll a D6, on a 1-2 the tide
recedes 2d6”, and on a 3-6 the tide advances 3d6”.
Any model “hit” by the tide must pass an initiative test. If
they pass, they are pushed with the tide, landing on the
shore where the tide finishes, if they fail, they are dashed
against the rocks and must roll on the injury table, also
being deposited on the shore if they survive.
Once the cargo is covered by the tide it is inaccessible due
to the swells of the low water.
Cargo: When a model comes into base to base contact
with a Cargo crate, they must make a strength test to crack
it open, they can’t risk carrying the crates to the shore with
the tide on the backs.
Once a crate is opened roll on the Cargo Chart Below
adding +1 for every 6" from the beach the marker lies.
