The Battlefield

Set up terrain as described in Preparing for Battle. Then, use the Deployment Map included with this mission or, if both players agree, use Random Deployment Zones to determine which Deployment Map will be used for this mission. Each player rolls a D6, re-rolling ties. Whoever scores higher can decide which half of the table they wish to deploy in. The opposing player will deploy in the opposite half.

Amarah Prime

Thematic Terrain

To represent one of Mansoura III Southern Pillar, place in the "Enemy Deployment Zone" as much building as possible.

The rest of the zone must be field with small debris, trashes area terrain and "Egyptian" building.

Objective Markers

Six markers will be placed on the battlefield to indicate potential locations where the archeotech may be hidden. To inspect a marker, a model must end its turn in contact with the marker. In the

Shooting Phase, instead of shooting, the model along with its unit may inspect the marker.

Roll a D6.

On a result of 5-6, you have found the objective;

on a 2-4, you have found nothing of consequence (remove the marker);

on a 1, you have set off a booby trap! Center the large blast template on the model inspecting the objective. All models completely under the template suffer a S3, AP- hit; those partially under the template suffer a hit on a 4+.

A unit may inspect only one objective marker per turn. Once the objective has been found, remove all other markers. The objective may not be moved by any means. If all the objective markers have been inspected, and none of them is the objective, you are both on a "Wild Zoat Chase" (now don’t you both feel silly), and there is no objective.

Deployment

Players must deploy using the Standard Deployment Method.
